What Just Happened?
“Donald Trump declined to rule out abusing power if he returns to the White House after Fox News Channel host Sean Hannity asked him Tuesday to respond to growing Democratic criticism of his rhetoric,” the AP reports.
Said Hannity: “Under no circumstances, you are promising America tonight, you would never abuse power as retribution against anybody?”
Responded Trump: “Except for day one. I want to close the border and I want to drill, drill, drill.”
