"SNIP..........

Former President Trump told conservative media personality Glenn Beck he would prosecute his political enemies if elected president again.

“You said in 2016, you know, ‘Lock her up,'” Beck reminded Trump of his statements about Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016 during an appearance on his BlazeTV show Tuesday. “And then when you became president, you said, ‘We don’t do that in America. That’s just not the right thing to do.'”

“That’s what they’re doing,” Beck continued, asking the former president, “Do you regret not locking her up? And if you’re president again, will you lock people up?”

Trump, who dismissed the various charges he faces in Georgia, New York, Florida and Washington, D.C., said there is “no choice.”

1. His worst enemies are John Barron, John Miller, and David Dennison

Lots of us would like to see all of them locked up

2. Beck is disgusting too

Goading Trump into saying something controversial. Not that he needs much goading, but still.

6. UGGGH.

I can't believe I used to like and listen to Glenn Beck. Although, back then in the early 2000s, he talked about more than politics. He would delve into pop culture, human interest stories, etc. Then his show became all politics and had no humor. At the same time...I grew up. I'd never listen to him now, unless it was under duress.

5. Isn't that what the defendant is accusing everyone else of doing?

Odd.

7. Incredibly dangerous lie

It’s a lie that the president has the power to imprison anyone. They don’t, not do they even have the power to investigate anyone.

Trump and his cabal claiming Joe Biden has anything to do with these prosecutions right now is a low that cannot ever go unchallenged. If that lie goes unchallenged, we’ll end up with fascism.

8. Glenn nearly went BK

After he didn’t originally support Trump for president. Trump went after him. He gave his employees big pay cuts. His employees are still furious.

9. If TFG is re-elected in 2024, there will be no further POTUS elections

TFG is running to stay out of prison and if TFG wins he will not allow any future elections. TFG has announced a plan to remake the federal govt and to fire and replace all government employees who not loyal to TFG.
