Former President Donald Trump, a candidate for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, addressed claims that he would be a “dictator” if reelected during a televised town hall event.
He dismissed the claim but humorously suggested that on his first day, he would act like a dictator by closing the border and promoting drilling. However, he clarified that this wouldn’t be an ongoing behavior.

“Except for day one,” Trump said.
“Except for –” Hannity began.
“[John Kerry] is going to prison. Except for day one,” Trump pressed.
“Meaning?” Hannity asked.
“I want to close the border and I want to drill, drill, drill,” Trump said.
“That is not retribution,” Hannity responded.
“I’m going to be — I love this guy. You are not going to be a dictator, are you? I said no, no other than day one. We’re closing the border and we’re drilling, drilling, drilling. After that, I’m not a dictator,” Trump said.
“That sounds like you’re going back to the policies when you were president,” Hannity said.
