Trump Town Hall Highlights Including What He Says About the Dems 'Dictator' Smear

The town hall held by Sean Hannity with former President Donald Trump in Davenport, Iowa was a striking contrast to the incoherence of Joe Biden, with Trump being clear and direct about what he wanted to do.

Trump said he didn't think Biden was going to make it for the election.

"I think he's in bad shape physically," he added before joking about a previous instance in which Biden said he'd like to take Trump to the "back of the barn."
Trump joked that Biden would "fall over" if he simply blew on him.
"I personally don't think he makes it physically. I watched him at the beach. He wasn't able to lift a beach chair, which is meant for children to lift. And mentally I would say he is possibly equally as bad, and maybe even worse," Trump added.

Trump speculated that Gavin Newsom might be their replacement, but he was "slick and he's got no facts" as he showed during the debate with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. But then they would have to figure out what to do about Kamala Harris. He said if the number of the movement of the black vote toward him was truly 22 percent as a recent poll indicated, then "we can call the election over."

Hannity asked him about the Democratic (and Liz Cheney) efforts to paint him as a "dictator," asking if he would "never abuse power as retribution against anybody."

Hannity: Now, just to be clear, you would never abuse power as retribution against anybody, right?

"Except for day one," Trump said. "I want to close the border and I want to drill, drill, drill."
Hannity said "that's not retribution," with Trump quipping back, "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," Trump said.
"We're closing the border and we're drilling, drilling, drilling," Trump said. "After that, I'm not a dictator."
Hannity said that it sounded like what Trump was saying was that he would go back to his first-term policies, to which the former president agreed.

Translation: the Democrats' talking points are nonsense. It's truly that other part of what he said that they fear, securing the border and drilling, because that would ensure greater security and success for America. But all the Democrats have to pitch against that is fear-mongering about Republicans.

Hannity asked him a great question: How does he deal with it all when they are targeting him with so many things, including all kinds of charges? He said he was able to do it because he loved what he did, and he laid out some of the things that he wanted to do and outlined how it would empower America.

Trump: People ask how do you do it?..."I love what I do because we are going to make our country greater than ever before...Day one, the border gets closed. Day one-and-a-half, we drill. And probably, on day two, we will get rid of this ridiculous electric car mandate." pic.twitter.com/Au7SEeDOqL

Trump explained how our resources were our strength if we employed them right. But we have folks like Biden's climate czar, John Kerry with horrible leftist policies that are impairing our abilities as a country.

Trump said Kerry was "destroying the country" and had to be stopped.

"I see John Kerry all over the place talking about [how] we have to get rid of our coal plants," Trump told Hannity.

"And yet China is building one coal plant a week, massive coal plants, and they're doing it just automatically. And John Kerry wants us to stop doing anything we can. We have a country, we have to fire up our factories. Wind is not going to fire up our factories."

That would likely cause Americans to lose all kinds of jobs. While Kerry wants all our coal plants to be eliminated, he gave China a pass in the Paris Agreement he helped to negotiate, so Trump is right on the money with that.
