'Except for Day One,' Trump says when asked about abusing power. 'After that, I'm not a dictator'

During a campaign event, Trump stated he would use his presidential powers to close the southern border with Mexico and expand oil drilling, but denied being a dictator.
When asked if he would abuse power if re-elected, Trump replied, "You mean like they're using right now?" This sparked concern from some, questioning his ability to handle nuclear power.
Democrats viewed Trump's comment as evidence that if re-elected, he would seek to consolidate power and target those who disagreed with him or wronged him.
