In a recent episode of "The Tonight Show," host Jimmy Fallon expressed his alarm over President Donald Trump's remarks during his town hall with Fox News' Sean Hannity. Fallon highlighted a particular moment in which Hannity asked Trump to assure Americans that he would never abuse his power as retribution against anyone.

To the surprise of many, Trump deadpanned, "Except for day one." The reaction from Hannity was evident as he questioned Trump, "You're not gonna be a dictator, are you?" Trump responded with a resolute, "No, no, no, other than day one."

Fallon, taken aback by the exchange, humorously commented on the situation, stating, "It's not great when a presidential candidate has big dictator energy, you know what I'm sayin'? I have a feeling on day two, Trump will be like, 'Sorry folks, it's just like Pringles: Once you pop, you can't stop.'"

While Fallon's reference to a popular potato chips catchphrase drew laughter, Trump's reported plans to exact revenge against perceived political enemies and implement radical policies are far more serious than a mere punchline. His alleged intentions to dismantle the "deep state," gut environmental protections, and formalize a stringent immigration strategy have raised concerns among many.

Expanding on his statement, Trump explained to Hannity that he aims to close the border and pursue an aggressive drilling policy. However, it remains unclear if he would utilize his authority to target individuals if elected again in 2024, as he failed to provide clarification during the town hall, according to HuffPost.
