Under President Donald Trump people will still be sentenced to
die for capital offenses. In the America We Deserve, Trump had a lot to
say about “criminals who pray on innocent people,” whom he also compared
to Hitler, according to Thinkprogress:
"Would it have been civilized to put Hitler in prison? No-it
would have been an affront to civilization. The same is true of criminals who
prey on innocent people. They have declared war on civilization. I don’t care
if the victim is a CEO or a floor sweeper. A life is a life, and if you
criminally take an innocent life you’d better be prepared to forfeit your own. My
only complaint is that lethal injection is too comfortable a way to go," Trump ranted.
While support for capital punishment has plummeted in recent
years, Trump is still a staunch
proponent of it. Back in December, he announced that anyone who kills
a police officer will be sentenced to die. His statement earned an endorsement
from the New England Police Benevolent Association, an officer union that
boasts 5,000 members.
