they showed one of the hidden videos the guy who was in charge of part of the scam made with tRump's campaign officials in England. One tape showed how they came up with "the wall" idea while in England and they decided to try the idea out at a rally and it was a hit. The same with "Lock her up".

It get their racist base all excited and gives their base another reason to hate us. It’s more of a simpletons game and it works. Plays off the fear of those who are irrational, hate filled and ignorant.
