      He says “I’ll be a dictator for A day”, that generally only means 1. But semantics, we all knew what he meant.

        No, he said he’d be a dictator on day one.

        Nothing about not being a dictator on day two.

          HANNITY: We almost have to go to a break. I want to go back to this one issue though, because the media has been focused on this and [are] attacking you. Under no circumstances, you are promising America tonight, you would never abuse power as retribution against anybody?

          TRUMP: Except for Day One.

          HANNITY: Except for …

          TRUMP: (smiling and pointing at Hannity) Look, he’s going crazy. Except for Day One.

          HANNITY: Meaning?

          TRUMP: I want to close the border and I want to drill, drill, drill.

          HANNITY: That’s not … that’s … that’s not … that’s not “retribution.”

          TRUMP: No no. I’m gonna be … I’m gonna be, you know he keeps, we love this guy.

          HANNITY: (laughing)

          TRUMP: He says, “You’re not gonna be a dictator, are you?” I said no, no, no … other than Day One. We’re closing the border and we’re drilling, drilling, drilling. After that, I’m not a dictator, OK?
