"I said I want to be a dictator for one day. You know why I wanted to be a dictator? Because I want a wall, and I want to drill, drill, drill,” the former president said

Donald Trump defended comments he made last week where he said he wanted to be a dictator if re-elected but only on “Day One” in office.

Trump began by complaining that Peter Baker of The New York Times wrote an article referencing his comments. “[Peter] Baker today in the New York Times said that I want to be a dictator,” the former president said Saturday night at the New York Young Republican Club’s 111th Annual Gala. “I didn’t say that. I said I want to be a dictator for one day. You know why I wanted to be a dictator? Because I want a wall, and I want to drill, drill, drill.”

I'm so exhausted from this brain dead shit. We're circling the drain and we have to watch these misanthropic fucks shit their pants every day.

Edited: changed philanthropic to misanthropic for u/ripcord.

    I use that word sarcastically. Anyone who could be described as philanthropic is definitely not benevolent, yet they happily use the word anyway. It now means rich asshole, who could help but doesnt.

    Even "sarcastically" this is just going to confuse any point you were trying to make.
