Trump touched on topics ranging from President Biden to dictatorships
Former President Trump joined Fox News' "Hannity" on Tuesday night for a town hall discussion on the GOP presidential primary, President Biden, dictatorships, and more.
Trump joined Hannity in Davenport, Iowa, for the town hall, one day before the fourth GOP presidential primary debate in Alabama on Wednesday.
Here are the top moments from Trump's "Hannity" town hall on Tuesday night.
HANNITY KICKS OFF TRUMP TOWN HALL WITH TOPICS INCLUDING RUSSIA, BIDEN, ‘DICTATORSHIP' AND MORE
TRUMP SAYS BIDEN WON'T BE THE NOMINEE
Trump predicted President Biden ultimately wouldn't be the Democrats' nominee for president in 2024.
The topic arose when Sean Hannity asked Trump about the criticism facing Biden from his fellow Democrats, as well as noted that he seemed to be "struggling cognitively."
"I personally don't think he makes it, okay? I haven't said that. I'm saving it for this big town hall. I've never really said that. I personally don't think he makes it," Trump answered, to cheers from the audience.
"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.
‘DICTATOR' FOR 'DAY ONE’
The former president turned some heads with some of his comments during the town hall, most notably with his comments to Hannity's question asking Trump to pledge to "never abuse power as retribution against anybody."
"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.
Trump's comments come after multiple media outlets claimed a second term for the former president would result in a "dictatorship."
Biden's campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez blasted Trump over the comments, saying in a release, "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," she said.
