President Trump on Friday repeated the phrase "lock 'em up" about opponents minutes after calling for unity following the arrest of a suspect in a string of suspicious packages sent to prominent Democrats.
Speaking to a group of young black leaders at the White House, Trump attacked after "globalists" he accused of helping foreign countries who are "cheating our workers."
"They're called globalists. I like the globe too, but we have to take care of our people," he said. Several audience members shouted out "George Soros" and "lock 'em up."
Trump chuckled, pointed to the crowd and repeated the phrase "lock 'em up."

Crowd chants 'fake news,' 'CNN sucks' amid Trump calls for unity

President Trump's attacks on "fake polls" were met with shouts of "fake news" and "CNN sucks" during his remarks at the Young Black Leadership Summit.
Trump started his remarks by making a call for national unity in light of explosive devices being sent to Democrats and former intelligence officials.
"The bottom line is that Americans must unify. We must show the world that we are united together in peace and love and harmony as fellow American citizens. There is no country like our country and every day we are showing the world just how truly great we are," the president said.
However, after attacking what he called "fake polls," members of the crowd responded by shouting "fake news" and one yelled "CNN sucks."
The comments come after Florida resident Cesar Sayoc was arrested in connection with the mailing of 12 explosive devices that were addressed to various Democrats and former intelligence officials, including two that were sent to CNN's offices in New York.
