The greatest catch phrase of 2016

The way I remember it, it was mostly the audience shouting it, but he never really discouraged it and sometimes echoed the calls.

Also, when he had the power to go after Clinton, he didn't use it.


He basically treated it as a cheerleading call without any meaning behind it (which I think is correct).

For reference:

“For what she’s done, they should lock her up,” Trump said after the crowd chanted “lock her up” at an October 2016 rally in North Carolina.

“‘Lock her up’ is right,” he said at an October 2016 rally in Pennsylvania.

Trump also explicitly called for Clinton’s imprisonment using different phrasing.

“Hillary Clinton has to go to jail, OK? She has to go to jail,” he said in a June 2016 speech in California. “She has to go to jail,” he repeated in an October 2016 speech in Florida. And at a presidential debate in October 2016, after Clinton said, “It’s just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country,” Trump responded, “Because you’d be in jail.”

...needs a new origin story.

Apparently Trump never said that Hillary Clinton should be blocked up.

We all remember it. It's pretty clear he said it...and said it many many times.

So...anyone have any suggestions for new origin stories? Trump isn't a liar in the face of recorded evidence to the contrary so whatever you see is just stuff your eyes are lying to you about.


I'm going to say that Trump was actually talking about Sia because he was soooo displeased with her This Is Acting album release.
