    Do it. Call it an official presidential act and it’s legal.

    Send him to Gitmo or put him in a federal supermax. Legal.

    I love the double standard. Trump can say “arrest all the radical left” and “LOCK HER UP” but if a democrat grows a backbone and says it back it’s “THEY’RE BEING MEAN!!! YOU CAN’T SAY THAT!”

      It is controversial for two reasons:

      1. As far as I can tell, it goes against normal Democrat rhetoric.
      2. He directed the statement against the loudmouth snowflakes.

      There is a point to 1, but when you consider how political discourse has changed in the last decade or so, the change of tone should be expected.

      As for 2, don’t dish it out if you can’t take it.

    I hope the controversy is he didn’t say it earlier.
