Former President Donald Trump had been widely discussing with “close associates” ahead of his 2024 presidential campaign bringing back the death penalty, expanding the execution methods used by the federal government, and even broadcasting executions as a means to deter violent crime and drug dealers, Rolling Stone reported on Tuesday, citing multiple sources close to Trump.
Rolling Stone’s Asawin Suebsaeng and Patrick Reis write that Trump has been regularly asking those around him, “What do you think of firing squads?”
The article adds that “Trump has talked about bringing back death by firing squad, by hanging, and, according to two of the sources, possibly even by guillotine. He has also, sources say, discussed group executions. Trump has floated these ideas while discussing planned campaign rhetoric and policy desires, as well as his disdain for President Biden’s approach to crime.”
“He has even, one of the sources recounts, mused about televising footage of executions, including showing condemned prisoners in the final moments of their lives,” noted the article.

Would be quite beneficial in sone ways. And hiding justice away misleads sone people into thinking there isn’t any
Start with Fauci.
The backlog would last 10 years. I’d like to do a show called ‘Real Survivor’ and throw groups of 100 on an island. Last person alive gets a pardon and a new identity in Venezuela.
We could also Pinochet election thieves including Zuckerberg and most of Twitter.
You are fired!
I fully support public executions.
Mediaite?? It’s getting to the point where if Mediaite reports that bears are pooping in the woods, I would begin to doubt it.
Let’s see, another possible headline... Mediaite Reports That Drive-By Media Are No Longer Performing Drive-By Journalism.
I read the headline and immediately pictured someone being thrown out at altitude. I thought they only did that secretly. LOL.
“Sources say”, lol. I’ll wait until I hear him say it himself.
LOL....I prolly would too. But I’d be into a lie detector..and when she/he lied,..they would scream and moan.
Absolutley and make it mandatory viewing for all grade school children.
