Donald Trump said Friday that after watching Hillary Clinton's Democratic National Convention speech, he will no longer be 'nice' to her when his raucous audiences chant 'Lock her up!' at the mention of her name. The slogan, which first appeared at the Republican National Convention last week, has become a battle cry among Trump supporters who believe Clinton should have been charged with a federal crime for mishandling classified documents on her now-infamous private email server. At rallies this week, Trump has resisted the temptation to join the 'Lock her up!' shouting, telling his crowds instead to help him 'beat her in November.' That seemed to end Friday at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, shortly after he called Clinton 'crooked as a three dollar bill.' 'NO MORE MR. NICE GUY': Donald Trump said Friday he's 'taking the gloves off' and will no longer resist the temptation to join Republicans who yell 'Lock her up!' whenever Hillary Clinton's name is mentioned 'LIES': Clinton mentioned Trump 22 times during her Democratic National Convention speech Thursday night, bashing repeatedly – in ways that Trump described as 'lies' CAMPAIGN WAIL: Trump posed for pictures after his speech, including a photo-op with two babies – one of whom burst into tears as camera shutters clicked 'We're running against a person that was just accused of being negligent and being other things, and lying. Lying!' Trump said during a rally at the Gallogly Events Center on the school's campus. 'How do you lie to the FBI, and, I mean, the answer is she lied. How do you lie to the FBI and now you're running for president? Seriously! How do you lie to the FBI and now you're running for president? How does that happen?' That was the cue for a few thousand people to trumpet their slogan. 'You know what?' the Republican presidential nominee asked in reply. 'I've been saying "Let's just beat her on November 8," but you know what? I'm starting to agree with you, I'll tell you!' 'Every time I mention her, everyone screams "Lock her up!" – "Lock her up! Lock her up!" they keep screaming,' he said. 'And you know what I do? I've been nice. But after watching that performance last night – such lies! – I don't have to be so nice anymore. I'm taking the gloves off, right?' 'Just remember this: Trump is going to be no more Mr. Nice Guy,' he added. 'Tell Hillary I'm not going to be nice anymore!' 'YOU'RE FIRED': Trump spoke to a half-empty basketball arena because the local fire marshal refused to let more people inside YUUUGE: While crowds were shunted into an overflow room to watch Trump on a big screen, thousands more waited outside and never got in – despite empty space aplenty where he spoke Trump spoke to a half-empty basketball gym Friday in Colorado while thousands of people clamored to get in. The fire marshal in Colorado Spring, Colorado had shut the doors, citing occupancy limits. Many unlucky Coloradans made their way into an overflow room, but Trump blasted the decision-maker anyway – saying he was 'probably a Democrat' and a Hillary Clinton supporter. 'This is why our country doesn't work,' Trump said as he took the stage, calling it 'a disgraceful situation.' 'We have thousands of people in a room next door. We have plenty of space here. We have thousands of people outside trying to get in, and we have a fire marshal that said, "Oh, we can't let more people".' 'It really is so unfair to the people. I'm so sorry, and I have to apologize, and it's not my fault!' The reason they won't let them is is because they don't know what the hell they're doing. That's why, okay?' 'Hey, maybe they're a Hillary person? Could that be possible? Probably. I don't think there are too many of them.' Trump ended his rally as he usually does – shaking hands and signing autographs – and then visited the overflow room to greet the crowd who could only watch him on a video screen. Before he left the main room, two women thrust newborn babies into his arms for a photo-op. As Trump mugged for cameras with one child in each arm, one of them burst into tears.

Personally, considering the deaths in Benghazi and the selling of US national security and lieing to the FBI, etc, etc, etc, I would propose one change. Instead of " Lock her up! ", we should adopt: " STRING HER UP "
