"I said I want to be a dictator for one day. You know why I wanted to be a dictator? Because I want a wall, and I want to drill, drill, drill,” the former president said
Donald Trump defended comments he made last week where he said he wanted to be a dictator if re-elected but only on “Day One” in office.
Trump began by complaining that Peter Baker of The New York Times wrote an article referencing his comments. “[Peter] Baker today in the New York Times said that I want to be a dictator,” the former president said Saturday night at the New York Young Republican Club’s 111th Annual Gala. “I didn’t say that. I said I want to be a dictator for one day. You know why I wanted to be a dictator? Because I want a wall, and I want to drill, drill, drill.”
It’s his way of dodging the question. Throws a bone to his loser fans, ‘the wall! immigrants!’ and ‘drill for oil!’ while not seriously answering the question. It was a loaded, stupid question anyway - of course Hannity knew that - nobody in US politics is going to straight up answer "yes, I will abuse power and violate the law and be a dictator, and cancel all future elections’
