    “If I happen to be president and I see somebody who’s doing well and beating me very badly, I say, ‘Go down and indict them.’ They’d be out of business,” Trump said. “They’d be out of the election.”

          ‘When this amendment was written, it was written specifically about FDR who was, as we all know, a democrat. No reasonable person could possibly interpret it to apply to a republican president.’
