Like clockwork, whenever Trump is suffering from some sort of emotional breakdown, he scurries off to cuddle in the comforting embrace of his adoring sycophants at Fox News. So no one will be surprised that, as his legal perils mount, Trump sat down for yet another fluffing session with his BFF Sean Hannity.<\/p>\n

Facing 91 felony counts that include financial fraud, sexual abuse, and efforts to undermine democracy, is clearly weighing on Trump. The rage-posting that he engages in on his failing Truth Social website<\/a><\/strong> are becoming more unhinged by the hour. The rhetoric he disgorges at his cult rallies descends into a frothy and unbridled fury. And his malicious attacks on his perceived enemies grows ever more distant from reality.<\/p>\n

A particularly disturbing portion of Trump’s “interview”<\/em> with Hannity came when Hannity asked a question that ought to have been easy for him to answer without submerging himself in controversy and shame. Hannity wound up a nerf ball pitch to counter recent and accurate criticisms of Trump as an aspiring authoritarian. Trump’s response was pure Trump…<\/p>\n

Hannity:<\/strong> They want to call you a dictator. You used the words “I am your retribution.” Now, before that you said if you’ve been wronged, and you used other words as well. But I want to be very, very clear on this. To be clear, do you in any way have any plans whatsoever, if reelected president, to abuse power, to break the law, to use the government to go after people?
\nTrump:<\/strong> You mean like they\u2019re using right now. So, in the history of our country, what’s happened to us, again, has never happened before. Over nonsense. Over nothing. Made-up charges. I often say Al Capone – he was one of the greatest of all time, if you like criminals. He was a mob boss the likes of which — “Scarface,” they called him – and he got indicted once. I got indicted four times. […]<\/p>\n

Hannity:<\/strong> The media has been focused on this and attacking you. Under no circumstances, you are promising America tonight, you would never abuse power as retribution against anybody?
\nTrump:<\/strong> Except for day one. I want to close the border and I want to drill, drill, drill. […] He says, “you\u2019re not going to be a dictator are you?” I said “no, no, no.” Other than day one. We\u2019re closing the border and we\u2019re drilling, drilling, drilling. After that, I\u2019m not a dictator.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
