Trump warns he will lock 'em up

Donald Trump, potential jailbird, potentially the next president of the United States, has bizarrely united his two possible futures by warning he will lock up his political opponents if he gets back into the White House. I don't know whether Trump likes a joke or indeed has a sense of humour but I will give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he must have been having a laugh when he made the comment during an interview on Glenn Beck's BlazeTV show. But you never know with Trump. He still seems to hold a grudge against Hillary Clinton who wasn't prosecuted after being found to have used her personal mobile phone for sending sensitive government-business emails. He said at the time, in 2016, that she should be locked up, and all his supporters used to cry "Lock her up". But he told Beck if he was reelected in November 2024 he'd lock up his political opponents. What he really meant I'm sure was that he would take revenge against politicians who are now trying lock HIM up and that he would be in the right to lock THEM up. A joke? Well, sort of. But it certainly doesn't sound too good for a presidential candidate to reveal he has the instincts of a dictator. If he doesn't like 'em, lock 'em up. Hillary Clinton better beware. He might get her retrospectively after all!
