While plenty of Trump supporters say that his comments about wanting to be a dictator "for one day" are totally fine, there are still many who see it as a stark warning of how bad a second term of Trump would be. According to a new report from The Guardian, plenty of Republican voters are now saying that the comments are going to cause them to vote for someone else, with some even saying that they are switching to Biden. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Well, folks, it seems like Donald Trump's promise to be a dictator. As he says, for just one day, if he were to win reelection, uh, a lot of conservatives, a lot of Trump supporters really seemed to like that statement, but a new report from the Guardian that went out there and actually talked to Republicans across the country, turns out a lot of Republicans definitely don't like it, and those comments are causing them to sour on Donald Trump. One of those people that spoke to the Guardian was a conservative by the name of Bob Capal, 74 years old, who said that, uh, if, uh, uh, when asked about Trump's dictator comments, he said he would be absolutely, you'd never get him out of office. Never. Now, Bob here says that he would prefer Chris Christie. He would prefer Nikki Haley. But you heard his concern there, right?

Trump absolutely would be a dictator. And he says, like, not just for a day. He would never leave office. Now, recently, Liz Cheney also came out and made the same kind of statement saying that if Trump goes back to the White House, he'll never leave, ever. That's also what I've been saying for about two years. Now, if Trump goes back to Washington DC in the White House as President, he will never leave. That is part of the reason we have this project 2025 right now, the Heritage Foundation's pushing it to replace pretty much all career civil servants with loyal Trump supporters. Everything from the lawyers at the DOJ down to the people who push paper at these, you know, government agencies. Everybody would be a Trump supporter. So there would be nobody to push back when Trump says, Hey, I know I'm term limited. I know the Constitution says I have to leave, but I don't want to.

Any objections. And of course, not a single member of his cabinet, not a single member of his staff, nobody over at his handpicked DOJ, nobody would tell him no. So when you hear all these people both on the left and right tell you that Donald Trump would never leave, believe us, because the number of people saying that including on the right seems to be getting larger. Another former Trump voter by the name of, uh, Bob Buckman, 72 years old, said he voted for Trump in 2016 because he believed his baloney, but then he voted for Biden in 2020. And what he says now is, I'd take 10 Joe Bidens before I'd take one. Donald Trump, he just lies and lies and lies, I'm afraid. If he gets in now, he'll just have four years of getting even. And Mr. Buckman is a hundred percent right as well. That's what a second Trump termed beat. That is what Trump has literally told us he would do. He's gonna prosecute Hillary Clinton. He's gonna prosecute Barack Obama for murder. He says he's gonna go after Biden, the entire Biden family tree. He's gonna go after the media.

He's gonna go after every single person. The judges, his lawyers have already suggested that a quote, real DOJ would criminally prosecute the Colorado State Supreme Court for kicking Trump off the ballot. It would be revenge, it would be a full blown dictatorship, and it would be a dictatorship that we would never get rid of. But this isn't a story of warning.
