Earlier this week, Democrats and the mainstream media started disseminating claims that Trump plans to change into a dictator upon successful a second time period, the identical baseless accusations the left leveled towards Trump for years all through his presidency.
The company press echo chamber started posting headlines claiming Trump would reign in authoritarian rule following a city corridor in Davenport, Iowa with Fox Information host Sean Hannity.
“I wish to be very, very clear on this — do you in any means have any plans by any means if reelected president to abuse energy, to interrupt the regulation, to make use of the federal government to go after individuals?” Hannity requested Trump.
“You imply like they’re utilizing proper now?” Trump shot again.
