Trump Tells Supreme Court It Gave Him 'Unrestricted Power' to Fire People
The Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity is now being used by the Trump administration.
You're viewing part of a thread.
Okay so you haven't seen it.
The thing where he says he'd be a dictator on day one? Yes, I have.
He says "I'll be a dictator for A day", that generally only means 1. But semantics, we all knew what he meant.
No, he said he'd be a dictator on day one.
Nothing about not being a dictator on day two.
Or maybe he's taken a page from Bezos's book and is claiming that it's always "day one."
HANNITY: We almost have to go to a break. I want to go back to this one issue though, because the media has been focused on this and [are] attacking you. Under no circumstances, you are promising America tonight, you would never abuse power as retribution against anybody?
TRUMP: Except for Day One.
HANNITY: Except for …
TRUMP: (smiling and pointing at Hannity) Look, he's going crazy. Except for Day One.
HANNITY: Meaning?
TRUMP: I want to close the border and I want to drill, drill, drill.
HANNITY: That's not … that's … that's not … that's not "retribution."
TRUMP: No no. I'm gonna be … I'm gonna be, you know he keeps, we love this guy.
HANNITY: (laughing)
TRUMP: He says, "You're not gonna be a dictator, are you?" I said no, no, no … other than Day One. We're closing the border and we're drilling, drilling, drilling. After that, I'm not a dictator, OK?
In context, it's clear that not even Trump is sure exactly what he's saying.
