Don Lemon Criticizes Trump's Time Magazine Honor

Don Lemon has publicly criticized Time magazine for naming President-elect Donald Trump its 2024 'Person of the Year,' expressing disbelief and questioning the decision as a potential 'scam.' During his podcast, he highlighted Trump's criminal history, including multiple convictions and allegations of assault, arguing that such a figure is unworthy of the honor. Lemon emphasized that being elected president does not automatically merit the title, suggesting alternatives that he failed to specify. In contrast, Time's rationale for the selection praised Trump's significant political comeback and influence on American politics. This marks the second time Trump has received this title, the first being in 2016 after his initial election victory. Lemon's remarks reflect ongoing tensions in the media regarding Trump's legacy and the criteria for such recognitions.
