Donald Trump says he will lock up his political enemies if he is president again.
In an interview on Tuesday, the rightwing broadcaster Glenn Beck raised Trump’s famous campaign-trail vow to “lock up” Hillary Clinton, his opponent in 2016, a promise Trump did not fulfill in office.Beck said: “Do you regret not locking [Clinton] up? And if you’re president again, will you lock people up?”
Trump said: “The answer is you have no choice, because they’re doing it to us.”
Trump has encouraged the “lock her up” chant against other opponents but he remains in considerable danger of being locked up himself.

Now that's gangster. They got him before he was able to get them. Make it work, Mr. Trump. If we can't see legitimate justice done going back to the Clintons, we don't have a country that works. Take all prisoners and no mercy.

There are times when it's moral to lock up opposition party members. If they have been misusing the power of government to enrich themselves, attack their political opponents and reward toadies, it's past time.
Lock 'em up!!!

Trump won't be locking up political enemies-these are criminals and traitors to America and our Constitution.

When Trump keeps this promise, and despite the blatant corruption of the Democrats, the media will run stories -- for the first time ever -- that the party in power is weaponizing the power of government against the opposing party.

Trump actually stated that he will lock-up those who are guilty of crimes. Crimes like turning our Justice department into the enemy of America.

Fainting couches probably in use all across the GOPe landscape. "Oh no, how can he say that? We must be KIND to our political enemies, reach across the aisle, compromise. Otherwise they might not like us."

Who knows what to believe when a journalist apparently can't spell the name of the newspaper that hired him?

During the Cold War, this strategy was known as Mutually Assured Destruction. Thugs understand force. Time to meet thuggery as practice by the Democrats with an equal response. Lock em all up if they have committed crimes. Of course the DC courts and Chief Just-Us Roberts and his minions on the Supreme Joke don't consider bribery, selling state secrets, altering policy, or committing treason to be crimes if the accused is a Democrat. So in reality, Trump is blowing off steam cause we know without a rule of law, there is no law.

Why waste the prison space? If a body develops cancer, you don’t just isolate the cancer to one particular area. It will only grow again. It must be destroyed.

President Trump’s failure to prosecute Hillary, Comey, McCabe and dozens of other Dems for their election interference in 2016 and throughout his presidency is why he is now former President Trump now. Just 10 days after Trump was elected, he described the Clintons as “good people” despite the $9 million Hillary spent on the fake Dossier and the millions Bill and Hill received from Russia for approving the sale of our uranium assets to Russia.
While I will still vote for Trump if he is nominated, I will never forget his weakness on prosecuting the Clinton gangsters and the Fauci led Covid Gestapo.

Trump needs to take some advice from Abraham Lincoln.

How about just lock up the criminals. They may also be political enemies, but that is not why they should be locked up...I have a feeling that's what Trump was saying. The headlines always seem to get him wrong.
