“Do dictators even play golf?” Watters cracked, while suggesting that Trump isn’t “organized” enough to abuse power.

Donald J. Trump’s declaration Tuesday night that he would be a “dictator” only on “Day One” of his presidency wasn’t to be taken seriously, Fox News host Jesse Watters insisted Wednesday.

“It’s only a dictatorship for one day, guys,” Watters began, chuckling. “He’ll just sit and sign executive orders like Biden did.”

Trump, Watters claimed, “knows exactly what he is doing.”

“He’s teasing the press and they just took the bait,” he claimed, before playing clips of two MSNBC contributors who—unlike Watters—were not taking Trump lightly.

“Look how unhappy these people look. MSNBC needs to relax. And don’t you dare laugh at Trump’s jokes. They aren’t funny,” the Fox host said, before going to another round of clips, this time from the rival network’s Morning Joe show.

      Very fitting quote. I can’t believe they’re trying to call it a “hoax”.

      “But Trump will have so much fun with this dictatorship hoax. Watch him start wearing a crown.”

      Oh isn’t that so funny how he wants to restructure the government with only people loyal to him? Isn’t that hilarious how he wants to throw out the election results and override the will of the people? Isn’t that just an absolute gas how he wants to ignore term limits and appoint himself ruler for life?

      No. That shit isn’t a hoax and it isn’t funny. Wtf is wrong with Fox News to even try to make a joke out of this?
