It’s not like he said it verbatim, on record, multiple times right ?
The only one I’m aware of is him saying “sometimes you need a dictator” when criticized by other world leaders who called him a dictator at some global politics event thing- are there others?

In July 2024 Donald Trump told a crowd, “Get out and vote! Just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore! Four more years, you know what? It’ll be fixed, it’ll be fine, you won’t have to vote anymore.”

Should have been thrown into solitary confinement the moment he said that shit.
His day one/one day dictator remark as well
