Trump's 'Day One' Remark to 'Dictator' Question Referenced the Southern Border and Oil Drilling
Yes, he was talking about drilling and the border. He never said "I wanna be a dictator" as in for good as it was reported by the media.
Part of the context has to include all his other rhetoric and actions. He can walk back comments or claims he meant this or that was sarcastic, but eventually one has to conclude he either a horrible public speaker whose words can't be trusted or he has fascist ideals. Add into that:
-What other people who have worked with him have said,
-Past actions such as his election denialism and attempts to change the results,
-His relationships and praise of other leaders with fascist tendancies,
and it becomes easy to believe the man is a fascist.
