So as documented by Netflix in When They See Us, it follows a true story of a rape and innocent teens being imprisoned it also briefly shows Donald Trump in it.

So I have read up on his involvement and he campaigned for all 5 innocent teens to be given the death penalty despite there being no evidence and the police forcing them to confess by depriving them of sleep, food and water for 30 hours and even when the true culprit cam forward and the boys (After serving their whole terms) were acquitted of the crime he said that because they were acquitted it didnt mean they were innocent and has refused to apologise for the comments and campaigns he made against the boys.

Is this really someone who should be in charge of over 300 millions people?

That was a famous case, it illustrates his racism perfectly

It also illustrates why the Death penalty should never be an option because it's always in danger of being a mistake

...the death penalty makes absolutely no sense to me...people are on death row for so many years, it’s essentially a life imprisonment sentence and then a death sentence at the end of it.../..the most crazy thing and serving no purpose at all because both will be a huge cost for the state...

Not possible with death penalty

I would actually rather have the death penalty than life in prison. I see it as the easier option and am a bit confused that most try to avoid it by accepting long sentences tbh! I would much rather be killed than locked up for life. I know thats not what the threads about but..yeah

No of course not, life in prison can be appealed, death cannot

it's not another reason tbh. There is only one reason, he is as sociopath. All of his behaviour stems from that.

Narcissistic sociopath to be exact

but he is the pres, doing pretty well and will be again by the looks of things

I think people need to reset what they think the job is and what it does

Why?

He's not the first unsuitable ruler in the history of the world.
Doesn't change the fact that this stable genius is unsuitable, as were many before him
Luckily theres a vast apparatus of the state around him and it wont let him do anything truly crazy
