Instead, Trump all but confirmed the story when he told the Spanish-language network that he would use the courts against his political rivals. \u201cIf I happen to be President and I see somebody who\u2019s doing well and beating me very badly, I say, \u2018Go down and indict them,\u2019 \u201d Trump told Univision. \u201cThey\u2019d be out of business. They\u2019d be out of the election.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There should be no surprise in this, of course. When Trump ran in 2016, he promised to jail his opponent, Hillary Clinton, and laughed and cheered and egged on his crowds when they chanted, \u201cLock her up! Lock her up!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In an appearance this week on \u201cThe View,\u201d Clinton compared Trump to Adolf Hitler, who was, she noted, \u201cduly elected\u201d before he dismantled Germany\u2019s democracy and turned himself into a dictator. Her main point\u2014and it bears endless repetition between now and whatever awaits us next November\u2014is that Trump has clearly spelled out exactly how he plans to go after core tenets of American democracy. There is no mystery here. \u201cTrump is telling us what he intends to do,\u201d Clinton said. \u201cTake him at his word. The man means to throw people in jail who disagree with him, shut down legitimate press outlets, do what he can to literally undermine the rule of law and our country\u2019s values.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that Clinton made those comments before Trump\u2019s incendiary interview. He\u2019s said it all before; he\u2019ll say it all again.
