Former president Donald Trump recently said he’d have “no choice” but to lock up his political opponents if he wins the 2024 presidential race because his opponents are already doing the same to him and his allies.
Trump’s comments came during an interview with conservative radio host Glenn Beck on Tuesday.
Beck noted that Trump led chants of “lock her up” about Hillary Clinton in 2016. “And then when you became president, you said, ‘We don’t do that in America. That’s just not the right thing to do,’” Beck said. “That’s what they’re doing. Do you regret not locking her up? And if you’re president again, will you lock people up?”
“Well, I’ll give you an example,” Trump said. “The answer is you have no choice because they’re doing it to us.”
“I always had such great respect for the office of the president and the presidency,” he added. “And I never hit Biden as hard as I could have. And then I heard he was trying to indict me and it was him that was doing it.”
While Trump suggested Biden was the driving force behind “every one of” the four indictments he’s facing, he said: “I don’t think he’s sharp enough to think about much, but he was there, and he was probably the one giving the order.”
He accused Biden of colluding with the Manhattan DA’s office and Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis.
