The former president’s remarks came on the eve of what may be the final GOP primary debate of the 2024 campaign.
Sean Hannity was trying to throw Donald Trump a life vest, and Trump was waving it off.
At a town hall in Davenport, Iowa, on the eve of what may be the final Republican primary debate of the campaign, the Fox News host asked the likely GOP nominee whether he had “any plans whatsoever, if reelected president, to abuse power? To break the law? To use the government to go after people?”
Trump parried. Hannity probed. He again asked Trump whether he was indeed “promising America tonight you would never abuse power as retribution against anybody?”
“Except for Day One,” Trump said.
Were Trump’s initial remarks a Trumpian jest? A threat? A promise?
