Listen Up.
If you accept facts, can you acknowledge that trump has said on 100's of occasions, that he wants 'political opponents' Locked Up.
What's the Big Deal?
Trump shows Loyalty, and Attacks the Not-Loyal.
This is pretty obvious.
WHY is this such a big problem for you to admit?
He has said on multiple occasions that they should be locked up, that they should be in jail. But EVERY SINGLE TIME he has been pressed on that he has consistently said he will not push that or ask for that.
Again at issue is the integrity of the political opposition acknowledging the difference between a personal opinion and a stated policy or intention. So far not a single TDS infected leftist on this board has had the integrity to distinguish between those two things much less post any evidence that Trump has EVER said he will push for, ask for, or prosecute his political opponents. He has said numerous times that he will not.
The latest time I am aware of was his recent hour long interview on "Meet the Press":

I want to pause here, because what you’re saying is significant. Because you wrote on Truth Social in 2023 that you’re going to appoint a real special prosecutor to go after Joe Biden. Now you’re saying you’re not going to do that.
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP:
I will say this, no, I’m not doing that unless I find something that I think is reasonable, but that’s not going to be my decision. That’s going to be Pam Bondi’s decision, and, to a different extent, Kash Patel, assuming they’re both there, and I think they’re both going to get approved. But I — I — you know, while you ask me that, what they’ve done to me with weaponization is a disgrace.
KRISTEN WELKER:
We’ll get to some of that, sir --
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP:
No, no, wait, wait, wait, you can’t do one without the other. In the history of our country, nothing like this has ever happened. And I’ve won these cases. I’ve won every one and the rest are in the process of being won. Deranged Jack Smith is on his way back to The Hague where he can execute people. This is where he should have stayed. I don’t — I think he’s dangerous even being there. But I’ll tell you what, what they’ve done to me in terms of weaponization, indictments, impeachments and everything else. And in the end, it probably helped, because I got the biggest vote, the most votes any Republican’s ever gotten in history.
KRISTEN WELKER:
Do — Pam Bondi talks about investigating the investigators. Do you want her to investigate Jack Smith based --
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP:
I want her to do what she wants to do.
KRISTEN WELKER:
-- do you want to see Jack Smith investigated?
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP:
Well, I think he’s very corrupt, but I want her to do whatever she —
KRISTEN WELKER:
Are you going to direct her --
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP:
No, I’m not, I’m not . . ."
Trump spoke with NBC News for more than an hour in an interview that covered a range of topics.

And further that Truth Social post was in response to the weaponization of the Biden government appointing a political lackey to go after Trump and he retorted that he would appoint a REAL special prosecutor to go after Biden. But that would be to investigate the accusations of malfeasance re Hunter et al and possible bribery/payoffs to Joe himself and not in retaliation for what Biden has done to him (Trump).
Subsequently he has said he wants the weaponization of government against political opposition to stop. He does not want revenge for what has been done to him, but he won't stop his DOJ for going after people who have committed actual crimes. ACTUAL crimes and not made up crimes or maybe crimes. ACTUAL crimes.
