All that he said is that he's going to enforce existing border law and drill for oil. Two things that are within the scope of "dictatorial" executive power on any mundane day.

If you want to stop that type of dictatorship, you'll need a time machine to speak with George Washington.

The only thing that will haunt this nation for generations to come is this type of bs that seeks to reframe what you are referring to as sinister.

And it won't stand up to the long memory of the successful antidemocratic effort to completely hobble a democratically elected POTUS while in office, threaten the nation with nine months of murderous riots before an election, distract from that effort by mischaracterizing a three hour riot and imprison its particpants, and then attempt to imprison DT using unprecedented charges because he's again running. Utilizing lots of "dictatorial" open lies and evidence suppression in the attempt.

But go on.

The question that DT answered was filtered down from the Left wing MSM, who is apoplectic at the possibility that they and others will be wrapped up in conspiracy, and worse, charges due to their antidemocratic, and worse, actions since 2016.

They are attempting to insulate themselves from culpability by attempting to make DT deny that he will seek reprisal in exactly the same manner of hostility that he and others have experienced. Lest he be a "dictator". His answer well trolled the brazenly hypocritical attempt.
