LEMON DROP | Trump's Expansionist Dreams - A Global Land Grab
Let's take a deep dive into one of Trump’s lesser-discussed obsessions: expansionism—his fascination with adding territory to the U.S. and taking over other countries. From floating the idea of buying Greenland to making eyebrow-raising comments about Canada and the Panama Canal, it’s not just bluster—it’s rooted in something deeper.
Don explores how this imperial fantasy traces back to Trump’s admiration for President William McKinley, a leader best known for overseas expansion and empire-building. What does this say about Trump’s worldview—and the kind of power he’s really after?
It’s more than nostalgia—it’s a warning.

Lemon LIVE at 5 | National Security Failure! Will They Accept Accountability? - March 25th, 2025
Lemon Nation, this is beyond reckless—it's dangerous. As we’ve been covering since the story first broke, The Atlantic reports that Trump’s national security team accidentally texted a reporter their war plans through a group chat. Yes, they actually included a journalist in a live thread about upcoming U.S. military strikes in Yemen.
This isn’t just incompetence—it’s a full-blown national security failure. And according to the law, some of the people involved could legitimately face jail time. Naturally, Trump is already trying to deflect blame, because accountability is never part of the plan.
Tonight, Don is joined by activist and The Bulwark writer Cameron Kasky to break it all down—the incompetence, the legal stakes, and how we got to a point where texting war plans is somehow not the biggest scandal of a presidential term. Join us live!
