"Trump's Controversial Town Hall: Retribution, Law-Breaking, and Abuse of Power"

During a town hall on Fox News, former President Donald Trump was asked twice by moderator Sean Hannity if he would abuse presidential power and retaliate against his political opponents if re-elected. Trump declined to give a direct denial, instead deflecting and making jokes. His comments raised concerns about his intentions and were seized upon by the Biden campaign, who accused Trump of planning to be a dictator on Day 1 if re-elected. The exchanges highlighted the growing challenge for some on the Trump team who are aware that his comments are concerning to voters ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
