Trump's Town Hall: The Five Biggest Takeaways From Hannity Interview

Former President Donald Trump sat down with Fox News' Sean Hannity Tuesday night for a one-hour interview.

The town hall event appeared on Hannity's show and was pre-taped in Davenport, Iowa.

Despite facing a total of 91 felony charges in four separate criminal cases, the former president remains the front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. Trump maintains his innocence in those cases and has accused prosecutors of a political "witch hunt," something that his supporters agree with.

Trump even told the Iowa crowd that he wanted to have his trials in their state, which will hold its caucus in six weeks.

"Let's have them in Iowa. I'll win big," he said.

During Tuesday's town hall, Trump talked about President Joe Biden, the southern border, nuclear weapons, Social Security and a host of other topics.

Here are five key takeaways from Tuesday night's Town Hall:

Trump Deflects Questions on Whether He'll Be a 'Dictator'

Trump deflected Hannity's questions about whether or not he'd be a "dictator" during a potential second term.

However, he did say he would be a dictator on the first days of his presidency, if elected.

"Except on Day 1. On Day 1, I'll close the border. On Day 2, it'll be 'drill baby, drill,'" Trump said.

Trump Reveals the Democrat He Believes Will Replace Biden for 2024

When asked about Biden ultimately being his opponent in the 2024 presidential election, Trump said he doesn't think Biden "makes it."

"I don't think he makes it, physically," said Trump, as Hannity pressed him about Biden's alleged "cognitive decline."

When asked who he thinks might be his potential Democratic opponent, if not Biden, Trump alluded to California Governor Gavin Newsom.

"I like him. He's slick, but he has no facts," he said.

He also mentioned Vice President Kamala Harris as a potential opponent. When mentioned, Harris' name was met with "boos" by the Iowa crowd.

These comments come on the heels of Biden's comments on Tuesday in which he said he might not be seeking another term in office if Trump wasn't also running, according to multiple media reports.

"If Trump wasn't running, I'm not sure I'd be running," Biden said at a campaign fundraiser in Massachusetts, Bloomberg reported.

Throughout the current presidential campaign, Biden, 81, has been dogged by questions about his fitness for office given his age, as has the 77-year-old Trump. Various polls have shown voters are concerned about Biden's age, and there have been calls from some members of his own party for him to step aside for a younger candidate.

Biden on Tuesday also expressed why he feels compelled to run with Trump being the most likely nominee for the Republican Party.

"We cannot let him win for the sake of our country."

Donald Trump Warns of Nuclear Bomb 500 Times Bigger Than Hiroshima

Trump continued to claim his relationships with world leaders like Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korea's Kim Jong-Un kept the country and the world safer than his Democratic rivals.

He said he talked Putin out of invading Ukraine.

"I told him, 'Don't do it. You don't want to do that,'" Trump said. "I think he only believed me 10 percent, but that's all I needed."

He also claimed there would have been a nuclear war with Kim if Hillary Clinton had won the 2016 presidential election.

"The level of power of nuclear weapons is incredible. Take Hiroshima or take Nagasaki and that was many, many decades ago and multiply that times 500 that's what a big bomb would be today," Trump said. "Whether it's Israel or major countries, nuclear weapons are the biggest problems we have."

"It used to be 10 years ago, 5 years ago, even 3 years ago, you couldn't mention the word 'nuclear.' Now it's being mentioned at every meeting, every time you talk, it's being mentioned," Trump said on Tuesday.

Donald Trump Caught Lying During Hannity Town Hall

Trump continued to make claims that no soldiers died during the war in Afghanistan during the last 18 months of his presidency.

This claim has been debunked by the Pentagon and a number of official sources.

Donald Trump Reveals Plans for Social Security

Trump said his energy-dependence policies will help pay for Social Security.

"We've got more money laying in the ground, under our feet, than any country in the world," Trump claimed. "If I'm elected, we'll be the most energy-dominant country on earth. That's how you pay for Social Security."

Donald Trump's Republican Rivals Debate Wednesday Night

Trump's town hall with Hannity comes one night before the fourth Republican primary debate, which will host the leading GOP candidates in the 2024 presidential election, with the exception of Trump.

Wednesday's debate in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, will be aired at 8 p.m. ET on NewsNation and The CW. It will also be streamed on Rumble and SiriusXM.

There are only three GOP candidates who have qualified for the debate and accepted the invitation—Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy.

Trump met the qualifications to attend the debate, but declined the invitation, which he has done for the previous three debates.
