Trump's "dictator" remarks: Supporters dismiss concerns, Clinton takes him seriously

Supporters of former President Donald Trump at a recent campaign rally in New Hampshire dismissed his comment about being a dictator for one day as a joke meant to provoke his rivals. They expressed confidence that Trump would use the powers of the presidency to accomplish their priorities, such as strengthening the economy and securing the border, without becoming a dictator. However, authoritarianism experts have raised concerns about Trump's statements and his allies' plans to bypass checks and balances. Polls show that Republicans and Democrats have different views on which candidate poses a threat to democracy in the 2024 presidential election.
