Trump Says He Will Have ‘Lots of Options’ for Locking Up Clinton Once in Office

When Barack Obama spoke the Republican nominee’s name at the Democratic National Convention, the room erupted in a cacophony of jeers.

“Don’t boo — vote,” the president replied.

On Friday, Donald Trump debuted his own, idiosyncratic version of this sentiment. At a rally in North Carolina, the GOP standard-bearer branded Hillary Clinton “the most corrupt politician ever to seek the office of the presidency.” His supporters affirmed this charge with a vigorous “lock her up” chant.

“Well, let’s do this. Let’s do this … November 8, let’s win. ” Trump proposed. “We win, we have lots of options. But we gotta win.”

In other words: Don’t shout “lock her up” — elect me so that I can abuse my executive powers to actually imprison our political enemy........................................

Whatever political points might be scored, it would only come at the cost of tearing the country apart. Trump's vindictive, retaliatory anger is childish and petty, and unworthy of the office of presidency.

Trump's obviously hell bent on using his office for nothing other than revenge and grudges against enemies.
