Donald Trump Fires Back At Robert De Niro For Calling Him A ‘Dictator’

During a town hall event hosted by Fox News host Sean Hannity in December, Hannity asked Trump point blank to pledge that he would never “abuse power as retribution against anybody.”

In response, Trump suggested that he would only rule as a dictator on the first day of his second second term, if elected.

“Except for day one,” the former president 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.” His drilling comment was a reference to his vow to expand oil drilling in the United States.

He later followed up his comments claiming they were in a “joking manner,” telling Fox News at town hall in Iowa he’s ‘not going to have time for retribution.”
