During a townhall event on Fox News Wednesday, Donald Trump slammed Joe Biden and the media for claiming he wants to be a dictator.
“This is just a political ploy. 'Trump is a dictator. He wants to be a dictator',” Trump said.
“You know, it's interesting. I did a show, Sean Hannity, did you ever hear of him? He's a very nice man. And he said, essentially, 'you're not going to be a dictator, are you? Tell me.' I think he was trying to give me a nicer question that maybe you guys would. He meant it very well.
I said, I'm going to be a dictator for one day. We're going to do two things. The border. We're going to make it so tight you can't get in unless you come in legally. And the other is energy. We're going to drill, baby, drill after that, I'm not going to be a dictator after that. I'm not going to be a dictator,” Trump said.
“And the press picks it up. So I said, I'm going to be a dictator for one day. They cut it. They go, ‘I'm going to be a dictator’ but they cut the rest of the sentence.
No, no, I am not going to be a dictator. I'm going to manage like we did. We were so successful that the country was coming together. It was actually coming together. Well, it was a beautiful thing to see. And we're going to do that again,” Trump added.
