The Cleveland convention crowd did their 'Lock her up!" chant a week ago. Trump just endorsed that, 'I'm starting to agree'
This is par for the course with his use of language that pushes the spiral of violence. He doesn't say he wants to rebut what the Democratic speakers are saying, he says he wants to be physically violent with them. He doesn't say he wants to defeat his opponent in an election, he says he wants to imprison opposing politicians.
Now, I'm not quite one to say Trump is Hitler's long lost clone. Trump does show a persistent liking for Agricultural Age tyrannic government, with his endorsement of great leaders like Saddam Hussain. He might be as close to a Cynic Hero style restoree politician as we are apt to find within America. Still, not all tyrants or wannabe tyrants are equally bad. At this point Trump is reality connected enough to state his mind but not to try to act on it. He hasn't actually punched anybody. He didn't find any Republican Philadelphia cops and send them into the convention to arrest Hillary.
But I wouldn't want to tempt him by granting him the power to actually do what he says he wants to do.

That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
