No, I feel comfortable dismissing that because it's the sort of thing he would say to a crowd of adoring supporters in order to get an applause line, but never actually do when he's in office. It's why he never did "lock her up," why he never did "build the wall." He's a bully, but a cowardly bully who dares little. He doesn't pick risky fights. He doesn't stick his neck out. He'll engage in petty vindictive torments against weak folks that have no real way to strike back at him, but not against bigger targets who can genuinely lawyer up and push back on him.

Thank you. Because in this and in the paragraph above it you neatly obliterated the canard that Trump is some kind of American Mussolini, which is a tired trope that gets repeated endlessly around here.
