The former U.S. ** insisted that if elected, he would focus on border security rather than retaliating against his adversary.
Donald Trump, the former US **, insisted that if he returned to the White House next year, he would not be a "**" "except for the first day". The former leader explained that he would use the ** order to close the U.S.-Mexico border and expand oil drilling.
On Tuesday, Trump was asked if he would "abuse his power to retaliate against anyone" while attending a live-televised town hall event in Iowa with Fox News' Sean Hannity.
Except for the first day," Trump replied. "I want to close borders, I want to drill, drill, drill. ”
Hannity pressured Trump, explaining that he was talking about retaliation. "We love this guy," the former chime chimed in. "He said, 'You're not going to be a ****, are you?'I said, 'No, no, no.' Except for the first day. We're closing the border, we're drilling, drilling, drilling. Since then, I've stopped being a **. ”
The United States typically signs a series of executive orders in its first few days in office, using these orders to overturn the policies of its predecessors and impose as much of its own agenda as possible without congressional approval. By the end of his second day in the White House, Joe Biden had issued more executive orders than in Trump's first two months in office, using that power to end almost all of his predecessor's immigration restrictions and restrict the oil and gas industry.
By the end of his first week in office, Biden had issued 37 executive orders, more than any other modern ** in the same period. The editorial board of The New York Times supported Biden's campaign three months ago, urging him to "ease up on executive action," calling the ordinances "a flawed substitute for legislation."
Trump officially announced his candidacity last November and is now considered the presumptive Republican candidate. The elections themselves are scheduled for November next year.
With Trump ahead of Biden in recent polls, Democrats and liberal pundits have been clamoring to portray the former ** as a threat to democracy itself. Three New York Times contributors, including Trump biographer Maggie Haberman, claimed Monday that "re-election could unleash an even darker Trump" and that he would allegedly retaliate against his political opponents and deploy the military to crack down on those who were repressed.
On the same day, Washington Post editor Robert Kagan – a neoconservative academic and husband of *** Victoria Nuland – warned that "Trump's ** is increasingly inevitable" and that the 77-year-old Republican would try to stand on his own "**if elected next year."
Republicans, on the other hand, point out that Biden has taken many of the actions that the New York Times and The Washington Post fear Trump will take. Trump and his allies have condemned Biden's Justice Department for searching his predecessor's estate, launching what they call a politically motivated investigation against him and bringing excessively harsh charges against Trump supporters at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021**.
Earlier, in an interview with Trump City Hall, Hannity asked the former ** if he intended to "abuse power, break the law, use ** to hunt down people."
You mean they're using it now?Trump replied.
