The news – plus barbs from social media trolls and other critics -- may be too much for CNN’s Don Lemon to bear much longer.

The host of “CNN Tonight” told an audience in New York City on Thursday that the current “level of toxicity” in society – which he attributed to the Trump presidency – has him questioning whether he’ll still be on the air when the 2020 presidential election rolls around, according to reports.

“I don’t know if it’s worth this level of toxicity,” the 53-year-old Lemon said about continuing in his current position, the Daily Beast reported.

“I’m 10 years older than when he rode down the escalator in July 2015,” Lemon added, referring to Donald Trump's campaign announcement four years ago.

Lemon made the remarks at the Financial Times’ “Future of News” conference.

The anchor also spoke about the negative, unsolicited feedback he sometimes receives.

“I was doing a shoot in the park the other day and someone shouted at me, ‘I’m sick of watching you. We built this country. I can’t wait for CNN to fire your black a--, you f----t,'” he recalled, according to Deadline.

“So, all of those sorts of people call you on the phone and say those things, or they write you. I don’t go on social media anymore, it’s so toxic,” he added.

Lemon went on to blame the Trump era, and even the president himself.

“I’m black and gay on cable television in prime time — a unicorn — and I’m a target of the right, a target of white extremists, neo-Nazis and of the president,” Lemon said, according to Deadline.

He added later, “I wonder how long I will continue to do this particular job,” the Daily Beast reported.

Lemon speculated he might be happier as a celebrity chef, or perhaps doing journalism “in a different way.”

Oh, that's rich, coming from a hack who pukes out poison onto the American public day after day after day.

Jussie? 'dat you?

Something happened to this dude between the mid-late 90's and now because he was a local Philly news reporter and genuinely seemed like a normal, nice guy not this woke asshole we see now.

Promises have been made before, there are still too many of those who promised to leave if Trump won who are still in country.....I'll believe it (and rejoice) when I see it.

That little bit about getting cursed at while attempting to do a shoot in the park sounds about as credible as Jussie Smallets beat down.

I thought Aunt Esther said to confront and harass your political enemies wherever you find them?

He's not talking about leaving the country. He's talking about leaving TV "journalism".

This is great to see. He knows what's going to happen in November of next year and he can't handle the shame of sitting there and watching Donald Trump win once again. He does not possess the courage of his fucked up convictions, so he's talking about taking his football and going home. Pissy little bitch. Fight to win or GTFO.

Here you go Donny...

Maybe he could go into journalism.

So it's Trump, it's the toxicity, it's what he can imagine people would like to scream at him when he's doing a shoot in the park, it's, it's, it's....GODAMMIT ANDERSON COOPER SHOWS NO SIGNS OF RETIRING ANY TIME SOON AND THERE'S NO WAY I'LL GET THE TOP SLOT AT CNN ANY OTHER WAYYYYY!!!!!!

Donny you can’t leave quick enough for me. Bye Bye!

And Lemon did nothing to contribute to the high level of toxicity? Projecting is what the left does best. I say most of these advocacy journalists on the left haven't experienced near the appropriate level vitriol that they deserve. They love to dish it out but can't take it in return.

MAGA.

"Lemon speculated he might be happier as a celebrity chef"

You want fries with that?

Perhaps a cooking show specializing in charcuterie.

"Don Lemon: My Favorite Sausages"

Episode one: Between the buns. Best Sandwiches

He helps to create the problem, goes straight (no pun intended) to the race card, homophobia claims, etc. then continues to do anything he can to bring more attention the most divisive issues he can think of to raise his poor ratings.
Keep it up CNN hacks.

When Life gives you Lemon(s)...

It really interests me that during 8 years of a Black President, the racists and "White Nationalists" were nowhere to be seen. Now that Trump is president they're everywhere? Oo and toxicity etc etc blah blah blah?

It's blatantly evident that the left is in a self induced deluded panic.

They'll spend the months leading up to the election tearing eachother apart, leading to a weak dem candidate who will self destruct under the weight of "social justice."

It will be a glorious slow motion trainwreck.

If Greg Gutfield doesn't take this nugget and run with it...he is missing a golden opportunity

Just really sick and tired of these Libtard ass-hats making promises they'll NEVER keep. "I'll move to Canada". "I'll kill myself". "I'll quit journalism". Sure...whatever...blah, blah, blah. Wah, wah, wah...
