Donald J. Trumpā€™s declaration Tuesday night that he would be a ā€œdictatorā€ only on ā€œDay Oneā€ of his presidency wasnā€™t to be taken seriously, Fox News host Jesse Watters insisted Wednesday.

ā€œItā€™s only a dictatorship for one day, guys,ā€ Watters began, chuckling. ā€œHeā€™ll just sit and sign executive orders like Biden did.ā€

Trump, Watters claimed, ā€œknows exactly what he is doing.ā€

ā€œHeā€™s teasing the press and they just took the bait,ā€ he claimed, before playing clips of two MSNBC contributors whoā€”unlike Wattersā€”were not taking Trump lightly.

ā€œLook how unhappy these people look. MSNBC needs to relax. And donā€™t you dare laugh at Trumpā€™s jokes. They arenā€™t funny,ā€ the Fox host said, before going to another round of clips, this time from the rival networkā€™s Morning Joe show.

      Very fitting quote. I canā€™t believe theyā€™re trying to call it a ā€œhoaxā€.

      ā€œBut Trump will have so much fun with this dictatorship hoax. Watch him start wearing a crown.ā€

      Oh isnā€™t that so funny how he wants to restructure the government with only people loyal to him? Isnā€™t that hilarious how he wants to throw out the election results and override the will of the people? Isnā€™t that just an absolute gas how he wants to ignore term limits and appoint himself ruler for life?

      No. That shit isnā€™t a hoax and it isnā€™t funny. Wtf is wrong with Fox News to even try to make a joke out of this?
