Trump's Dictator Remarks Haunt Him

Former President Donald Trump, during a televised town hall event, avoided directly answering questions about whether he would abuse his powers if he returned to office. When pressed by Fox News host Sean Hannity, Trump responded that he would not be a dictator "except for Day One," prompting cheers from the audience. He reiterated his promise to close the U.S.-Mexico border and expand oil drilling on his first day, but insisted that he would not be a dictator after that. The Biden campaign responded by posting a video of the exchange, stating that Trump had admitted he would be a dictator on day one if reelected. Trump is currently facing multiple federal and state criminal charges.
