As we approach November’s US presidential election, the stakes have never been higher. At least, that’s true for MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, who has expressed concern that a Donald Trump victory will result in her being interned in a prison camp. During an interview with CNN, she said: “I’m worried about the country broadly if we put someone in power who is openly avowing that he plans to build camps to hold millions of people,” adding that “he’s not joking when he says this stuff, and we’ve seen what happens when people take power proclaiming that kind of agenda.”

Maddow isn’t the only prominent figure who could get locked up when Trump violently seizes power. Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has this week revealed her own worry that she might also be heading for the cells. “It sounds nuts, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this guy threw me in jail,” she told New York magazine. “He did his whole first campaign around lock her [Hillary Clinton] up’. This is his motto.” Fair enough — Trump has always been known for his sincerity.
