Donald J. Trumpās declaration Tuesday night that he would be a ādictatorā only on āDay Oneā of his presidency wasnāt to be taken seriously, Fox News host Jesse Watters insisted Wednesday.
āItās only a dictatorship for one day, guys,ā Watters began, chuckling. āHeāll just sit and sign executive orders like Biden did.ā
Trump, Watters claimed, āknows exactly what he is doing.ā
āHeās teasing the press and they just took the bait,ā he claimed, before playing clips of two MSNBC contributors whoāunlike Wattersāwere not taking Trump lightly.
āLook how unhappy these people look. MSNBC needs to relax. And donāt you dare laugh at Trumpās jokes. They arenāt funny,ā the Fox host said, before going to another round of clips, this time from the rival networkās Morning Joe show.
Joking about becoming a dictator would make you unelectable 20 years ago. Remember when Howard Dean got excited at a rally and screamed a bit too loud? That was 20 years ago and it completely sank his campaign. Though he didnāt stand much of a chance against John Kerry for the nomination, his campaign was doomed after that.
It wasnāt the scream, it was the media gas lighting the electorate into thinking the scream was disqualifying. If he hadnāt screamed, they would have used something else.
No, that canāt be right. Wasnāt 20 years ago when Bill Clinton was running?
Nah dude, he was president like two weeks ago. I downloaded all of his songs about Monica Lewinsky from Napster just the other day, right?
Is that the guy that went āHAAAA!ā
Yep
For anyone else that wants to relive it
