Read our privacy policy Gushing over Donald Trump’s “shock and awe” flood of executive orders upon returning to the White House, Newsmax host Rob Finnerty excitedly declared on Wednesday that the president was indeed a “dictator on day one,” but one “that the American people voted for.” During his presidential campaign, Trump repeatedly said that if he were once again elected president, he would “be a dictator for one day” and use his executive powers to enact sweeping changes to “take care of the border” and roll back actions taken during the Biden administration. Newsmax host Rob Finnerty says “Donald Trump was dictator on day one, but a dictator that the American people voted for." “Yes, Donald Trump was dictator on day one, but a dictator that the American people voted for!” Adding that the American public “asked for this and voted for this,” Finnerty continued to heap praise on the early decisions and moves made by the president’s new administration. “Donald Trump took the oath of office just about 55 hours ago, and so far, it has been a complete show of force,” the conservative anchor stated.
