Trump again vows to be a day-one ‘dictator’ in Iowa town hall
As Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley argued it out on CNN in an apparent race for second place, the former president took part in a town hall on Fox News

Listen to him. He is not lying on this one. Make sure you vote or there will be no more democracy, even this extremely flawed one is better than a dictatorship.
The lie is usually accompanied by a truth.
In this case the lie is that he'll give up the power.
Star Wars moment.
Don't get played like Jar Jar!
The people who support him sure as hell are listening. They absolutely want a Sulla figure to take full control and purge who they consider as undesirable.
Little do they realize that as soon as they cease to be useful to Trump and his ilk, they too will suddenly be considered "undesirable."
Because that worked out so well....
Less than 10 years after Sulla was dead the republic was run by bleeding Crassus and Pompey.
They're not a particularly smart bunch, that's for sure. Especially considering who ended up being targeted in the prescriptions.
There’s no downside for Republicans. If he succeeds they get to be close to the throne. If he fails they won’t be held accountable. It’s a win win for them because we don’t hold politicians accountable.
He's also pretty much guaranteed to be dead in less than ten years, so all those narcissistic Republican assholes assume it will be them personally that takes the throne when it happens. So of course they support him.
He’ll be replaced by one of his idiot children. It’ll be the dumbest monarchy in history, and that’s saying something.
Can we agree that's when we all do the guillotine bullshit everyone loves to talk about but would never really do?
The phrase "Trump monarchy" should be followed immediately by "executed by the citizens."
Evil somehow lives until their hundreds
It's the hate that keeps them going 😔
There are many downsides for Republicans, they just aren't thinking they will be effected like everyone else. All states rights are void on day 1. He doesn't give a shit about constituents.
Those idiots are no students of history and it won't be a win-win for them, either. If he succeeds, it is as likely as not they end up on the short end of the stick, too. These kinds of things always tend to end up that way.
The lying bit is where he claims that he'll only be a dictator for one day. How many dictators have given themselves ultimate power and then gave it up willingly after a single day?
If Trump regains office, he'll assert dictatorial powers. Maybe we can survive this via a mass uprising, but it's unlikely. It would be like needing to survive open heart surgery, chemotherapy, and five organ transplants all at once. Could a patient survive this? Maybe, but the prognosis wouldn't be good and even if they did, they'd be in horrible shape for quite a long time.
The best way of surviving Trump is to make sure he never gets close to the White House (or any other position of power) ever again. And, while we're at it, vote against any Republican who kisses up to Trump. (So, basically, all of them.)
He'll only be a dictator for one day because he'll declare himself emperor and disband the rest of the government.
No, we should actually put millions of vulnerable people at risk to preserve our very important ideological purity and my ego-driven stance that the US is irredeemably wicked ok? Also, I am definitely not a troll trying to get Donald Trump elected by pretending to be a leftist, so don't at me or whatever.
