In a candid conversation with conservative pundit Glenn Beck, President Trump made a bold promise that if he secures a second term, he will not hesitate to “lock up” those who are actively working to dismantle him, despite their own rampant corruption.

Recalling Trump’s 2016 rallying cry of “lock her up” in reference to Hillary Clinton, Beck pressed, “Do you regret not locking her up? And if you’re president again, will you lock people up?”
With conviction, Trump affirmed, “Well, I’ll give you an example. The answer is you have no choice because they’re doing it to us.”
Reflecting on his respect for the presidency, Trump shared, “I always had such great respect for the office of the president and the presidency… 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.”
Questioning Biden’s mental acuity, Trump speculated, “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.”
Drawing connections, Trump explained, “But he was, you know, hard to believe that he even thinks about that because he’s gone. But then I said, well, they’re actually trying to indict me because every one of these indictments is him, including Bragg.”
Trump delved into the Democratic strategy, alleging, “He put his top person into the office of the Manhattan district attorney. They’ve been in total coordination with Fani Willis. The woman that I never met, that they accused me of rape, that’s being run by a Democrat, a Democrat operative, and paid for by the Democrat party.”
Addressing the adversarial landscape, Trump concluded, “You know, so many these days, I have a couple of other lawsuits all funded against me by the Democrats. But these are sick people. These are evil people.”
These remarks from Trump followed his recent ultimatum to Congressional Republicans, urging them to either impeach Joe Biden or risk fading into obscurity.
