No one gives a shit because those who don’t like him are already aware, and those who like him like him because of this.

On December 6, when asked if he’d abuse his power as retribution against his political foes, the former president told Fox News host Sean Hannity that, should he be re-elected in 2024, he’ll only be a dictator “on day one.”
