As Donald Trump faces growing scrutiny over his increasingly authoritarian and violent rhetoric, Fox News host Sean Hannity gave his longtime friend a chance to assure the American people that he wouldn’t abuse power or seek retribution if he wins a second term.
But instead of offering a perfunctory answer brushing off the warnings, Trump stoked the fire.
“Except for day one,” the GOP front-runner said Tuesday night before a live audience in Davenport, Iowa. “I want to close the border, and I want to drill, drill, drill.”
And in case anyone missed it, he reenacted the exchange.
“We love this guy,” Trump said of Hannity. “He says, ‘You’re not going to be a dictator, are you?’ I said: ‘No, no, no, other than day one. We’re closing the border, and we’re drilling, drilling, drilling. After that, I’m not a dictator.’”
What would you rather: a mastermind like Obama who slowly manipulates democracy in the shadows, or Trump who you know doesn't have a nefarious master plan. The problem with the left is that they understand Trumpbin their own terms instead of just seeing him for the guy he is.
ReplyDeleteAnd what did Biden do on day 1? Oh yeah, sign a whole bunch of executive orders to ensure his agenda would go through. But when he did it, he was restoring democracy!
