Donald Trump REFUSES to rule out being 'a DICTATOR': Tells Sean Hannity he may get revenge on his enemies on 'Day One' - after dodging question about abusing the law to 'go after people'

Former President Donald Trump refused in a prime time town hall to rule out abusing power to go after his critics – saying he he wouldn't do it 'except for Day One' – when given multiple opportunities to forswear plans for vengeance or a power grab.

'To be clear, do you in any way have any plans whatsoever if reelected president to abuse power, to break the law to use the government to go after people,' Hannity asked him.

'You mean like they’re using right now?' Trump responded, without answering the question directly. (other subjects) You are promising America tonight you would never abuse power as retribution?' Hannity asked the former president, who is leading President Joe Biden in a series of polls.

'Except for Day One,' Trump answered.

'Meaning?' Hannity asked him.

'I want to close the border and I want to drill, drill, drill.'

An organized crime gang stole the election and illegally prosecuted him, and as part of the coup has suppressed free speech, and locked up over a thousand political prisoners.

It is not revenge or getting even to unleash hell fire on them, arrest them with whatever legal and physical force it takes.

That is called “Justice”. I want to see him send a company of Marines out to seize FBI and CIA Headquarters and arrest the coup leaders and conspirators.

A cop is not getting “revenge” when he arrests a robber. Trump would merely be executing the oath of office.

My tagline says it all. Until then he needs to deflect, or outright lie about it. It’s the ONLY way we save the country. The problem is he WILL NOT GET REELECTED. And the second problem is that he would not have competent people around him to carefully act out the plan if he did manage to get 99.7% of the country to vote for him, overcoming massive fraud and manipulation.

They are really pushing the “dictator” narrative.

So obvious.

Projection.

You want a Pinochet. Hard to find a benevolent dictator. It’s possible. But usually that’s not the case.

So Biden and the DOJ are not acting like dictators in numerous ways, but if Trump follows the same path he’s a dictator?

Its time to start reading between the lines folks. Trump can only throw out so many comms.

Why would upholding the law take circumventing it?

With all due respect, your tagline is oxymoronic.

The POTUS has all the authority he has under the Constitution to administer justice and does not need to subvert it; merely implement it.

That should read, “The POTUS has all the authority he requires under the Constitution,” etc. He is the highest law enforcer in the land and the commander in chief of all the military.

Trump doesn’t need to abuse the law to get rid of the vermin democrats and evil bureaucrats that violate the law constantly. He simply needs to enforce it.

Trump set Hannity up, played him big time:

“Except for Day One,’ Trump answered.

‘Meaning?’ Hannity asked him.

‘I want to close the border and I want to drill, drill, drill’

《》《》《》

Neither one of those actions are dictator actions.

They are Patriotic.

Closing the border is following the laws and will cut down on crime big time.

Drilling (and pumping, refining and using and selling) will make us Energy Independant and RICH again.

MARA!

Make America Rich Again!

Of course, we soon will be seeing hundreds of Terror Cells doing Hamas type things here.

It’s going to get very hinky for a while.

You’re 13thunable to uphold the law if you’re yanking illegals out of the clutches of the leftist Dems.
