A panel of voters clashed over former President Donald Trump's claim that if he wins re-election, he wants to be a dictator on day one.

During the Sunday panel discussion on CBS, Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan asked the panel if Trump or President Joe Biden could say anything at Thursday's debate to change their minds.

"I would fall over if he said anything worth listening to," one voter said of Trump.

"Well, Trump already said he wanted to be a dictator," another voter pointed out. "That was enough for me."

"Exactly," a panelist agreed.

A Trump supporter from Wisconsin named Tony argued that Trump's words could not be taken literally.

"It's mostly political theater and comedy," he insisted. "So there's some entertainment value there."

"Donald Trump means it when he says he wants to be a dictator," the first voter observed. "He means it."

"I know he wants revenge as well," a second voter added.
