[quote=Anonymous]Looks like this topic was covered in a recent interview with Hugh Hewitt:

[quote]Hewitt begins by asking Trump if he will peacefully surrender power at the end of his next term, something he failed to do the previous time. Naturally, he cited his friend Hannity:

[i]Hugh Hewitt: Now, President Trump, you have been accused by all sorts of people in the Beltway of planning on being a tyrant and a dictator. I saw you on with our friend Sean, and you made a joke. I thought it was a joke that you wanted to be a dictator for a day. But a bunch of them said, “Oh, see, he’s serious — one day.” So I want to put it to you bluntly. [b]If you are reelected, will you peacefully surrender power at the end of your second term, as required by the Constitution?[/b]

Donald Trump: Of course. And I did that this time. And I’ll tell you what: The election was rigged, and we have plenty of evidence of it. But I did it anyway. The other question you should ask is you should ask the other side, “Will you cheat on the elections?” Because the only way we’re going to lose is if they cheat on the elections.[/i]

Trump begins by saying “of course.” But then he insists he also peacefully transferred power after losing in 2020, which is obviously not true — he attempted to steal a second term and incited a violent riot in an attempt to hold power. So basically he is promising that if you liked the way he handled the postelection transfer of power in 2020, you’ll approve of how he does it at the end of his next term. He is promising the same pattern of behavior.[/quote][/quote]
