'Kill them all': Trump reportedly pushed for firing squads and hangings of gang members

Raw Story  

Former President Donald Trump reportedly wanted to kill drug dealers and gang members in mass executions that would be a spectacle aimed at demonstrating his power. Sources tell Rolling Stone that Trump would regularly make angry demands about using either firing squads or gallows to mass-execute gang members in a way that would see "bodies pile up in the streets." “An eye for an eye.” The former president also referenced the way authoritarian regimes dealt with drug dealers by saying, "Other countries do it all the time." "A second administration will not feature advisers in the mold of former Chief of Staff John Kelly, or Defense Secretary Mark Esper — establishment Republicans with a stake in keeping Trump constitutionally in bounds," the report notes.
