I don’t ever recall hearing Trump say he would be a dictator and I think if he had said it- dens would have made a million political ads using him saying it.

No one can argue that Trump isn’t a megalomaniac but most politicians have a bit of that- that’s why they seek office. But no mention that Trump has been royally screwed by “the rule of law”. He has had more than his fair share of witch hunts- most notably the woman who accused him of rape but didn’t know when… and he definitely wasn’t tried by a jury of his peers. The interviewer could have at least questioned Sullivan about his take on that. Overall- the interview fell short of the mark

It's more rule by law than rule of law.

While I won't say I have a lot of trust in Trump when it comes to upholding the rule of law, it's ridiculous to cast him as the sole threat when his opponents are:

-Spending tens of billions without Congressional approval, in a clear vote-buying scheme

-Twisting and stretching the law to jail or bankrupt him or keep him off the ballot

-Engaging in coerced suppression if not outright censorship of opposing views

-Acting like the 2nd Amendment doesn't exist and defying court decisions clarifying that it in fact does

-Siccing federal law enforcement on regular citizens who speak out in disfavored ways

-Threatening to unilaterally remove the ability of one of the 3 branches of government to effectively check the other 2

The only time I recall Trump saying he would be a dictator is when he said he would be a dictator on day 1 and issue a number of Executive Orders to close the border. That is no different than Obama saying he has a pen and a phone and can run the country without Congress. The Dems have made hay on that statement knowing their supporters (like Sullivan) won't bother to fact check it.

In fact, that’s exactly what Biden did on his first day in office! I can’t stand the fact that dems say that republicans are deplorable for doing the exact same things that they do themselves!

I agree . I was hoping for more . I was hoping for an apology. I know it’s too much to ask. If Biden took an acuity exam and was found fit I would apologize . I’ve told everyone that I would take the man’s car keys if he were my grandpa .
