Would a President Trump Try to Jail Obama, Too?

You listen to Trump's threats and Attacks on Hillary, which include references to actions taken after she left, and you have to wonder whether he would stop at going after Hillary?

After all, look at how he is reacting to Paul Ryan. President Obama perhaps even more so than Hillary represents everything Trump despises. Plus, his base may be even more anti-Obama then anti Hillary.

Indeed, once a President Trump goes down this road, how does he stop? Do we rely on Trump being able to exercise restraint?

Then he'd round all us leftist liberals into internment camps for sheltering Muslims and Mexicans in our homes.

...and Issa plays to the same vindictive, conspiracy mongering crowd as Trump.

...but he sees Hillary as his biggest threat. If elected, Trump's main job would be to "erase" any indication President Obama was ever there - he's stated so, in different words.

maybe the same PIs he used to out Obama' birth issue. They did a crack up job.

But seriously - I think he would try.

I think the woman who possessed the last pussy Trump grabbed is in the best position to answer this question ... rhetorically.
