NEW YORK, NY - SEPTEMBER 26, 2018: President Donald Trump gestures to emphasize an issue as he delivers a speech at the Lotte Palace Hotel in the Villard Room (Shutterstock).
President Donald Trump on Friday briefly tried to strike a conciliatory tone when it came to condemning political violence -- but he quickly reverted back to attacking his political foes, including musing about having billionaire Democratic donor George Soros arrested.
While addressing the Young Black Leadership Summit at the White House on Friday, Trump went on the attack against "globalists" whom he accused of undermining American sovereignty.
"I like the globe too, but we have to take care of our people," the president said.
While Trump talked about "globalists," many audience members started yelling, "Soros!" while another member yelled, "Lock him up!"
The president smiled and pointed to the audience member and laughingly repeated, "Ha, lock him up!"
Trump's laughter about the prospect of locking up Soros comes after Trump supporter Cesar Sayoc was arrested on Friday on suspicion of sending explosive devices to Soros and several top Democrats. Sayoc's Facebook and Twitter feed are loaded with attacks on Soros and other liberals.
