"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.”
That’s going to follow him. For how long I can not say. But it will be about the whole Republican party. It’s not just Trump and his flying monkeys. We see evidence of what the Republicans want at every turn.
Yes, but the problem is a not-insignificant number of Americans are convinced they want this. They’re perfectly fine with a dictator, as long as it’s one oppressing people they don’t like.
It’s my flavour of fascism, I want it! No no no, not like that!..
