Former US President Donald Trump said that he will not become a dictator if elected president again in 2024, except "on day one". On "day one", Trump said he would use presidential powers to close the southern border with Mexico and expand oil drilling. Trump has frequently promised "retribution" on political opponents like Biden and prosecutors if elected, calling them targets. Critics like former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney have said a Trump dictatorship is a "very real threat" if he wins in 2024. Trump has refused to concede defeat in 2020 and spread false claims of election fraud, fueling the January 6th Capitol attack by his supporters.
