Today was an especially alarming day at the White House. El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele visited Donald Trump to discuss the relationship between the two countries, specifically relating to U.S. deportations to El Salvadorian prisons. Bukele says he will not be returning the wrongly deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and spoke with Trump about the next phase of U.S. "homegrown" deportations. What does this mean?

This morning, Don is joined by the brilliant Reecie Colbert to break down the mess—what’s happening, who’s getting hurt, and whether there’s a way out before it all gets worse.

The market’s been swinging like it’s had three espressos and no breakfast—and Trump’s tariff rollercoaster is to blame. After tanking the economy with massive trade threats, he’s now backing down on some of them, trying to calm the storm he created. Spoiler: it’s not working. But while the market melts down, Trump’s doing something even more alarming: weaponizing the DOJ to investigate former officials who dared to speak out against him—Miles Taylor and Chris Krebs among them. We’re diving into the economic mess and the creeping authoritarianism. Because tariffs are bad—but turning federal law enforcement into a revenge squad? That’s much, much worse. Buckle up, Lemon Nation. This one’s serious. The Don Lemon Show is up for a Webby!
