Why is trump obsessed with hangings? [View all]

And not lethally injecting his detractors, electrocuting them or, god forbit, gassing them? Is he living out the fantasy of being John C Woods who executed (and managed to botch) the first Nuremberg criminals?

Maybe he watched 'Braveheart' too many times, or is stuck on the fate of the Rosenbergs. Clearly, his preference for an outdated method of execution is both blood-thirsty and bizarre.

Then there was the ricketty little mock-gallows at the Jan 6 riot. It seems to be a theme with magats. So glad that Mark Kelly has called him out but I doubt if it will make him stop.
