Trump's plan for a 2nd term reportedly includes firing squads,
hangings, and group executions

As Donald Trump's second re-election bid begins to pick up steam in the
new year, details about the former president's plans for his return to
the White House have begun to emerge — including a new report from
Rolling Stone, which alleges Trump has begun polling his advisers on
whether he should bring back firing squads, hangings, and even the
guillotine should he win in 2024.

According to two sources, the former president has even begun exploring
the possibility of group executions, with a third person claiming Trump
has expressed interest in a government ad campaign to highlight the administration's lethality and, per Rolling Stone's source, "help put
the fear of God into violent criminals." A Trump campaign spokesperson
denied the former president had plans for an execution ad campaign in a statement to Rolling Stone.

Trump's fascination with the death penalty has long been on public
display, stretching back to his call to execute the "Central Park Five,"
five young Black and Latino men accused of rape and assault in the late
1980s (all were later exonerated). As Rolling Stone had previously
reported, Trump had ended his first term by executing more than four
times as many convicted persons in his final six months in office as
the federal government had killed in total over the prior half-century.
He also signed an executive order in those last weeks in office that
expanded the federal government's ability to conduct hangings and
firing squads as methods of execution. And during his campaign launch
in November, Trump made a special point to highlight a call to execute "everyone who sells drugs [or] gets caught selling drugs" if given a
second term.

This latest report has earned harsh rebukes from some, including
journalist Oliver Willis, who called it the "kind of fascist s--t
Republican primary voters love." Citing a 2016 campaign event in which
Trump enthusiastically lauded the disproven myth that U.S. General John Pershing summarily executed dozens of Muslim prisoners in the
Philippines with ammunition "dipped [...] in pig's blood," Semafor
Washington Bureau Chief Benjy Sarlin wryly noted that now Trump was
"moderating his stance ahead of 2024, before he just favored summary
executions while defiling the bodies."
