Donald Trump has called for the suspect who killed eight people and injured 12 others to “GET DEATH PENALTY!”
As you know, Sayfullo Saipov — the 29-year-old man from Uzbekistan who plowed down pedestrians and cyclists in lower Manhattan this week — faced terrorism charges in court on Wednesday. He allegedly claims to have been inspired by ISIS propaganda videos, and “feels good” about what he did. Authorities are looking into another possible suspect.
Now, Trump is asking for Saipov to receive the death penalty, and for the end of the diversity visa program that issues paperwork for 50,000 people per year from countries with low immigration rates to the US.

On Wednesday night and Thursday morning, POTUS tweeted:
NYC terrorist was happy as he asked to hang ISIS flag in his hospital room. He killed 8 people, badly injured 12. SHOULD GET DEATH PENALTY!

Would love to send the NYC terrorist to Guantanamo but statistically that process takes much longer than going through the Federal system…

…There is also something appropriate about keeping him in the home of the horrible crime he committed. Should move fast. DEATH PENALTY!

While we appreciate swift action, we’re wondering where this passion was after the attacks in Charlottesville and Vegas… when Trump was only offering his thoughts and prayers. We guess those attackers weren’t brown enough.
Ch-ch-check out the responses to Trump’s response (below):

Donald Trump never proposed the death penalty for the Vegas shooter. #StayWoke

You should take out an ad in the Times to make sure everyone knows he should get the death penalty too.

The president of the United States is demanding the death penalty for someone who hasn’t had a trial. MAGA! pic.twitter.com/UIPDfGNOVW

Advocating the death penalty before trial isn’t justice, it’s a lynching. I despise what this man did to our city, but Trump is wrong here. https://t.co/YM80cFj7B6

Trump: Terrorist! Death penalty!
[white man drives car into crowd]
Trump: Fine people on both sides.

The President of the United States screaming for the DEATH PENALTY is the modern-day equivalent of a monarch yelling “off with his head!”
