A Portrait of the Con Artist
"I play to people’s fantasies. People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do . . . People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular. I call it truthful hyperbole."
Donald Trump
Donald Trump the GOP nominee, firing up a large crowd of loyal supporters during a swing through Florida last summer said that Hillary Clinton "has to go to jail."
At a morning rally in Ocala, Trump said that he was "embarrassed" Congress had not done more to probe Clinton after the FBI decided not to seek charges against her over the private email server she used as secretary of state.
"Do they make deals like this?" Trump asked.
"This is the most heinous, the most serious thing that I've ever seen involving justice in the United States — in the history of the United States."
"We have a person that has committed crimes that is now running for the presidency."
Later on, after moving on to Lakeland, Florida, Trump again renewed his vow to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Clinton if he is elected.
Clinton "has to go to jail," adding that the lawyers working for her over the email issue should also be incarcerated.
After being elected President:
"She did some bad things, I mean she did some bad things," Trump said, to which Stahl responded, "I know, but a special prosecutor?"
"I don't want to hurt them, I don't want to hurt them," Trump said. "They’re, they’re good people."
Trump's contempt for the American public and his huge ego have led him to believe all will be forgotten next election and he'll be able to con the voters with his bs all over again.
