Former President Donald Trump said Tuesday in Fox News Town Hall that he would not be a dictator "except for Day One" if he is elected to the presidency next year.

In a taped town hall with Fox News anchor Sean Hannity in Iowa, the former president was asked whether he would use the presidency to "abuse power, to break the law, to use the government to go after people" several times.

"You are promising America tonight you would never abuse power as retribution against anybody?" Hannity asked.

"Except for Day One," Trump said.

When asked to clarify, Trump said he would use the presidency to close the border and increase oil drilling in the U.S.

"That is not retribution," Hannity said.

"I love this guy. He says, 'You're not going to 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," Trump said.

The Biden campaign immediately pounced on the comments in a campaign email and posted a clip of the exchange to X.

"Donald Trump has been telling us exactly what he will do if he's reelected and tonight he said he will be a dictator on day one. Americans should believe him," Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez said.
