Now he knows how Hillary felt.
The 45th president landed in Derry, New Hampshire, to be greeted by supporters and offended protesters, one chanting into a megaphone: "Lock him up! Lock him up!... Donald Trump!"
On Monday, Donald Trump, who according to FiveThirtyEight is the frontrunner in the GOP presidential contest, commanding a 57% lead in the polls, walked out of a black SUV with tinted windows flanked by several Secret Service agents as he shook hands with a gaggle of red MAGA-capped supporters pinned behind metal barricades.
A man's voice could be heard booming the phrase "Lock him up! Donald Trump!” for a few seconds in a video clip recorded by Right Side Broadcasting and tweeted by Brian Tyler Cohen.
The man once known as the "Teflon Don" didn't seem to flinch by chants.
Trump launched his first successful bid for the White House by campaigning on prosecuting former first lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The three-beat refrain, "Lock her up! Lock her up! Lock her up!" became a crowd favorite on the whirlwind rally tour he led around the country.
Trump is a defendant in four criminal cases spanning New York, Florida, Georgia, and D.C. involving catch-and-kill hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels, refusing to turn over classified documents, overturning and also running interference to undermine the 2020 presidential election results.
The president would go on stage to deliver a speech to his supporters, at one point painting himself as a persecuted man.
"We have a Capitol that if you go there, you get shot," he opined. "With this in mind, there's no way I can get a fair trial. You know, I'm supposed to be getting — because Donald Trump challenged the election, so let's put him in jail for the rest of his life.
"They don't go after the people that cheated. Those people are free," the former president said. "If you want to challenge the result of an election, they hound you.
"Look what happened this weekend with two good people," referring to his former attorneys Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro, who were offered and accepted no jail deals from Georgia prosecutors in return for testifying about Donald Trump's and close associates' attempt to steal the 2020 election in the Peach State.
He continued: "They hound them, and they scare them, and they — but we don't get scared."
Trump then likened his struggle in the legal system to the late anti-apartheid freedom fighter Nelson Mandela, who was imprisoned for nearly three decades and then, upon release, became South Africa's president.
Trump said: "I don't mind being Nelson Mandela because I'm doing it for a reason."
