President Joe Biden stirred controversy during a speech in New Hampshire by stating 'We’ve got to lock him up' in reference to former President Donald Trump.
Biden later clarified that he was speaking figuratively, suggesting that Trump should be 'politically locked out' rather than literally incarcerated. The comment quickly gained traction on social media, drawing both criticism and support. The remark echoes a phrase popularized by Trump during his 2016 campaign, adding fuel to the ongoing political rivalry between the two leaders.
Biden's statement has intensified the already heated political discourse ahead of the 2024 election cycle.

Trump's trying to consolidate power in favor of himself, hes threatening the existence of the longest standing democracy. He should be locked out of politics.
Honestly, it's about time someone called out Trump for the damage he's done. If Biden wants to lock him out politically, I’m all for it – we need leaders who stand for democracy, not tear it apart.
Here we go again with politicians using the justice system as a political weapon. It’s ridiculous how both sides keep playing these games instead of focusing on actual issues that affect regular people. The government shouldn't have the power to decide who gets "locked up" based on political differences, that’s a dangerous road to go down.
