HOT TOPICS | Trump's MAGA Troops in DC...Coming to Your City Next?! - August 25th, 2025

The Don Lemon Show

Good morning Lemon Nation! Today we’re breaking down Trump’s so-called “crackdown on crime” in D.C., you know, the city where crime rates are actually lower than they’ve been in years. Facts be damned, he’s now floating the idea of sending troops into other left-leaning cities like Chicago and New York. Legal? Doubtful. Authoritarian? Absolutely. Are we now living in a police state? Sure feels like it. Then we’ll turn to the economy. Remember when MAGA voters swore they backed Trump because of how “great” the economy was? Well, things are sliding downhill fast, and this looks like just the beginning. Grab your coffee. We’ve got a lot to unpack. This episode is sponsored by the Freedom from Religion Foundation.
