http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/10/donald-trump-obsessed-with-revengeAt the second presidential debate, GOP nominee Donald Trump went where no major candidate has gone: he vowed that if elected he would prosecute and imprison his opponent. This promise was a pure act of vengeance and drew much scorn. But Trump's supporters, who have long rallied around the lock-her-up meme, embraced his declaration. Days later Trump expanded on his pledge: he said he would also throw Clinton's lawyers into the hoosegow. And after the New York Times and other media published the accounts of women who said they had been groped, grabbed, and kissed against their will by Trump, the former reality television star threatened payback against his accusers and the press. Next he attacked GOP House Speaker Paul Ryan after the top Republican dared to suggest that the US electoral system worked fine while Trump was claiming it was rigged against him.

This isn't anything we don't already know, but if you're looking for another way for Trump to make you physically ill, read this article.

(37,428 posts)...but it might be more accurate to see it as just more epic-level Trump projection that happens to pander to his lock-her-up base. It plays to his narrative that his opponent is so corrupt and powerful that he never had a chance. The meme is the biggest, lamest excuse ever for nonperformance by this big, lame purveyor of excuses.
Besides, when he made the "threat," he already knew he wasn't going to be elected.

(1,907 posts)He still attacks people from 10-20 years ago. After this he will be attacking all the repubs blaming them. He can't stand disloyalty from "underlings". And that is all he considers them. (And really the rest of the U.S.)
