That'd be a neat trick from jail.

I mean Hitler also went to jail for a failed coup. We saw how that turned out.

Say "Yes absolutely, you giving us those names grants you full immunity." Once he has given those names just send him to jail. He's okay with lying to the public why wouldn't it be fine to lie to him? He has ruined a country when the country needed him.

And brainwashing the elderly. Such a slimeball. He peddles fear based on his sponsors and his "books".

Fuck around and find out, asshole. By definition, I'm targeted. Let that cheese asshole come to my house and try to lock me up for my beliefs and my use of the 1st amendment.

Like Trump himself is gonna walk up to your house and try to arrest you, tough guy. He wouldn't even know your name. You'd just be another poor schmuck on a list getting their ass dragged off to jail by the cops or the feds. The truly scary part is that if it comes to that, no one would be able to help you. By that point, everyone will be too afraid of what is happening and/or completely powerless to do anything but quietly hope they're not next.

Of course it's horrible and fascistic to declare you're planning to use your power to lock up political opponents, as opposed to letting the justice system play out.

...but if appropriate decision makers can prove actual wrongdoing in a court of law, I have no inherent qualms with Donald Trumps political enemies being prosecuted.

He's a freak of nature.

Just like the Nazis did. Anymore questions about where Trump and the GOP are heading?
