Not only Democrats, but all American Patriots. And sadly, it didn't come across as a joke to serious adults.

The joke appeared to be the idea that he would be a dictator for a day and then give it up…FOXs detachment from the reality of what is troubling half of America is incredible.

Lol...I love to say this here. Do you know what this means? Now Kevin is not a sitting congressman, he can be indicted in the Jan 6th trial with superseding indictments from Jack Smith, And I bet Jack Smith is thinking the same thing?🤔

“Dems freak out over a president making a dictator joke”

“Meanwhile Fox calls Biden the devil for wanting to put boots on a dog”

Lmaooo the contrast is ridiculous.

[uncleeric]

If Biden had "joked" the same way I guarantee Fox News wouldn't be downplaying it.

[heatherfossis]

Joke? There are people on both sides that wanted him to take that question seriously. So either he thinks it’s a joke when it’s not or he answered the question but thought it was funny that he could be honest about wanting to be a dictator knowing none of his supporters would care.

Rico trump said before the 2020 election that he would declare it stolen if he lost. There’s no misinterpreting that.

[coachhannah]

The fact that you think it is a joke tells much more about you than him...

[d.castillo]

When Rico trump says only guilty people use the Fifth Amendment and then he invokes the Fifth Amendment hundreds of times while under oath, it’s hard to misinterpret that.

[annesandstrommusic]

Looking at the ratio in the comments gives me hope that enough voters see Trump for what he is.

[williamwoody]

Name one time Trump has ever made an actual joke? He doesn't know how to joke, he speaks his truth and then the Right Wing media say oh, "he's just joking." No, no he wasn't.

[wanderlust]

Anyone who continues to be fooled by a con man after thorough evidence (through words and behavior) is beyond help.

[fire--effect]

This is not a joke that a presidential candidate should ever make. This is especially true when we are talking about a guy with 91 felony charges already. I am sure our allies are not laughing.

[jenniferkruse]

I'm an unaffiliated voter. Why is Trump running? It feels like this is about making 50% of Americans feel bad. I would absolutely vote for a Republican, but I won't vote for that.

[samsnanko]

Given Trump's record, that statement that he made about about becoming a dictator 1) is not funny 2) is likely his mens rea.

[michellejessup]

You all are acting like this first time. He said this thing about being a dictator it's not the 1st he said it several times Why would you vote for somebody who even Is supposably JOKINGLY wants to be a dictator Says a lot about your vote🤔🤔🤔🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🇺🇸

[xevqsue]

It is only one of a long list of ways he has acted and expressed his desire to be our "dear leader."

[josefinamasadao-haas]

It's not just a joke - it's confirmation of his very mindset, attitude AND actions all this time. Read the writing on the wall, stop being in denial.

[themousethatroared]

Trump doesn't have a sense of humor and he never jokes. This isnt a joke. He's telling us what he plans to do.

[katherineharvey]

Trump said he was going to start drilling again in his first day
