Okay, DJT didn’t say those exact words however… (Quotes from the Messenger)
At a Fox News townhall with Sean Hannity, the former president said he'd be a dictator for just one day so he could finish the border wall and drill for oil.
After strong condemnation from the White House as well as a few Republicans, Trump backtracked today saying he was joking.
In a Monday message, he targeted New York Times reporter Peter Baker and said he made his "dictator" comments in a "joking manner." "Fake News writer Peter 'Obama' Baker of the Failing New York Times... whose claim to fame is that, 'he will never write anything good about the GREAT job President Trump did,' just wrote, in a major, front page story, that I want to be a Dictator, but doesn’t mention it was said in a joking manner, and completed with 'but only for a day, because I'm going to close the Border, and DRILL, DRILL, DRILL,' a much different attitude and meaning!" Trump wrote Monday on Truth Social.
In other words, “I was joking about that dictator stuff, but not anything else. Why would you take that part seriously? Just fooling around!”
