Trump Remarks On 'Power' Of Presidency At DC Event: 'You Can Do Everything'

Donald Trump emphasized the power of the presidency Friday when asked, in a discussion about transgender children, what he could do if he gets back into the Oval Office.

Well, you can do everything, said the GOP nominee at an event in Washington, D.C., for the far-right Moms for Liberty group.

[The] president has such power, it does. It has such power.

His response was prompted by Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice, who sought Trumps reaction to what she described as an explosion in the number of trans children.

His remarks come after the Supreme Court  ruled last month that presidents have broad immunity  from criminal prosecution for official acts.

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris campaign shared a clip of his comments to social media. Trump fantasizes about his Project 2025 plan to take total control over Americans lives, her campaign wrote, referencing the Heritage Foundation-led policy blueprint for a new Republican administration.

The GOP candidate has pushed dictatorial talk on the campaign trail over the past year.

Trump, who has boasted of his relationship  with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and whose rhetoric has been compared to that of Adolf Hitler , told Fox News Sean Hannity in 2023 that he planned to act like a dictator only on day one of a second White House term.

The former president, in an interview  released earlier this week, defended  his dictator remark as he criticized the dishonest media.

At various points in the past, he has also attempted a coup  to remain in the White House, appeared to float a three-term presidency , called for the termination  of articles of the Constitution and told a crowd of Christians that they wont have to vote anymore after November.
