Tuesday, during his “Hannity” televised town hall event on Fox News Channel, former President Donald Trump, a candidate for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, reacted to claims he would be a “dictator” if reelected to the presidency.
Trump dismissed the claim overall but, in a tongue-in-cheek manner, suggested that on his first day, he would be a dictator.
Partial transcript as follows:
HANNITY: I want to go back to this one issue, though, because the media has been focused on this and attacking you —
TRUMP: Yeah.
HANNITY: — under no circumstances. You are promising America tonight. You would never abuse power as retribution against anybody?
TRUMP: Except for day one.
