Trump tweeted out why this morning his administration is not sending the Manhattan truck terrorist to GITMO:
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!

Well there’s one thing I definitely agree with and that’s the death penalty. I think that’s exactly what prosecutors should push for. As I suggested yesterday, anything less than that would be a slap in the face to those who died at the hands of this animal.
Besides, we don’t need him getting a life sentence so he can spread Islam in the prisons and radicalize more people.
