Republican presidential candidate Trump had to be asked twice during a televised town hall event in Iowa to deny that he would abuse power to seek revenge on political opponents if re-elected to the White House.
“No. No. Other than day one,” Trump said when asked to deny he would become a “dictator” if he wins the November election.
Trump said on the “day one” he referred to, he would use his presidential powers to close the southern border with Mexico and expand oil drilling.
Trump, seeking a second White House term in a likely election re-match with Democratic President Joe Biden, has frequently promised “retribution” on political opponents if he gains power again.

It’s kind of insane that a US Presidential candidate would even need to defend themselves from an accusation like that in the first place. Usually that’s just a given, that’s like a basic qualification for the job.
Trump’s not a real big fan of “givens” that apply to everyone else. He eats damn pizza with a knife+fork like an ackshual monster?!
THAT is the issue you take with trump.
Where did I say that was my big issue with Trump? Enlighten me :/
Edit: also sick username but that’s not gonna redeem you here, mister. Explain urself or no treats+dinner
Edit: also no sex. Just realized I didn’t cover the entire gamut of
eatingIt was a joke! Lol I knew you were kidding
Thanks for recognizing the username haha
Lol thats why I threw in the scolding at the end. AES-256 or whatever will be cracked and the heat death of the universe will occur well before I run out of shit Trump says/does that infuriates me
Haha fair
So do the Italians…
For real? Damn. Well, they need to keep their hands busy to talk so Imma give 'em a pass on that one. Trump has no excuse
Edit: just cuz he’s orange doesn’t mean he’s Italian 🍝
Itzza dye…
🥸🤌
Give him a Snickers on a plate…
Hey now that just depends on the kind of pizza
If it’s too floppy/greasy to easily hold without getting my fingers all dirty I would rather use a knife and fork. I hate having my hands messy. That’s also why I (unpopular opinion) prefer boneless chicken wings so I can use a fork.
I just wrap it in tinfoil
Well you see, his supporters want him to be a dictator. They support him because he’s against everything the system stands for, the same system they feel cheats them and doesn’t work for them. No thought to the alternative mind you, just an anti status quo vote
They also like him because he hates the same people they hate.
What they don’t realize is that he hates them too.
“Except on day one”… ಠ_ಠ
Pretty chilling words really.
Luckily he doesn’t understand what he’s saying.
And even that is a lie.
Republican Mouth-Breathers: See? He’s only going to become a dictator and abuse power on his first day!! Why is everyone so worried??!
goes back to sniffing glue and dying of preventable diseases
They know he wants to become a dictator. They’re lying. They don’t care or actively want him to become a dictator.
“Nah it’s going to be fine you’ll see, oh shit I have the measles.”
“Other than day one”
What he should have said, was nothing. What he did say is, “you’d be surprised”
THE DEAL IS OFF
No deal for you! You’ve ruined it!
The only safe Trump is a dead Trump, and we need a safe Trump.
I want to see him carted off to prison first. One can only hope.

Or have him do the Cersei Lannister Walk of Shame…but your idea has much merit. All legal and stuff.
"We will go out and find the conspirators, not just in government but in the media… We’re going to come after you—whether it’s criminal or civilly, we’ll figure that out. But yeah, we’re putting you all on notice and Steve, this is why they hate us. This is why we’re tyrannical.”
— Trump adviser Kash Patel, in an interview with Steve Bannon, saying Donald Trump is serious about revenge.
Uhh the headline leaves out the most important part of the quote - “except on day one.” So, yes, he did confirm he’d be a dictator!
Why the fuck is this traitor not in a fucking supermax?
deleted by creator
That’s not true. I believe Supermax is his preferred brand of adult diapers and he’s in them quite frequently.
He literally says he will be a dictator on day one, so how the fuck does the media come up with this title?
I swear the fucking incompetent and dishonest media is 100% why he won in 2016, and it’s why he will win in 2024.
Pinky promise.
He would still call himself a president like his pals, Vlad and the Rocket Man.
Because he’s such an honorable man, and true to his word… Not!
He did say “Only on day 1.” He’ll only become a dictator that once, then never again.
Ahh… nice loophole
He will stop being dictator right after he releases his tax returns.
Wait, I thought this was an onion article
Stfu u fkin Darth MacDonalds
Fine, but you’re on thin ice, mister!
At his size, isn’t all ice thin ice?
It’s not the weight that’s dangerous for him on the ice. It’s his tiny feet. All that weight pressed on a tiny little area of ice. Everyone knows when you’re on thin ice you have to distribute your weight. Trump cannot do that because his feet and even his hands are so weirdly small and little-kid like that he will poke right through like an obese orange ice pick. Probably a product of inbreeding. You don’t get tiny deformed little feet like that without some cousin fucking and crossed branches in your family tree.
