Trump Bemoans Bombing Suspect Getting Hospital Care, Lawyer

[DonViejo]

Source: Talking Points Memo

The “bad part” about bombing suspect Ahmad Khan Rahami being captured alive is that now he’ll be treated to “amazing” medical care and an “outstanding” lawyer, Donald Trump said Monday.

After praising the efforts of law enforcement, Trump bemoaned how this “evil thug who planted the bombs” in New York and New Jersey over the weekend is now receiving medical attention after being wounded in a shootout with police earlier in the day. “But the bad part, now we will give him amazing hospitalization. He will be taken care of by some of the best doctors in the world,” the GOP nominee told the crowd at a rally in Estero, Florida. “He will be given a fully modern and updated hospital room. And he'll probably even have room service knowing the way our country is.”

Trump added that “on top of all of that, he will be represented by an outstanding lawyer,” saying Rahami’s case would take years to work its way through the criminal justice system until his eventual punishment is diluted. The Sixth Amendment ensures the right to a fair and speedy public trial and the right to a lawyer for all criminal defendants.

“What a sad situation. We must have speedy but fair trials and we must deliver a just and very harsh punishment to these people,” Trump said, to big cheers from the crowd.

1. Please tell me that is satire

[Ruby the Liberal]

11. It will play well with his audience

Remember this rally cry?

[Skittles]

34. no

it's the way repukes think

[saltpoint]

2. Note to Trump: There's that 'liberty and

justice for all' thing the Founders had goin', and -- as long as we're in town -- the innocent until proven guilty thing as well.

They are kind of important.

Trump fans resentment in his supporters. It's deliberate and subversive.

[LuckyLib]

3. Donald, this is who we are as a people. But you wouldn't know anything about that.

You're all about the hate and selfishness.

[saltpoint]

4. Indeed. Bingo. eom

[maxsolomon]

5. "Updated"? Is he pitching a condo?

Let me answer myself: yes, he is pitching a condo. that's what he knows how to do. Sell Real Estate.

[William Seger]

6. "No, no!" said the Queen. "Sentence first -- verdict afterwards." (nt)

[jmowreader]

7. "He'll probably have room service"

Well yeah, that's how hospitals normally work.

[George II]

8. Sure let him bleed to death so we can't get any information out of him.

[bucolic_frolic]

9. What about Chris Christie

He's had lawyers, his underlings have lawyers, all the money this Bridgegate
investigation and prosecution has cost taxpayers.

Why don't we make these public officials pay for their own misdeeds?

Why don't we punish these miscreants quickly and severely?

Putting the public at danger by closing bridges for political feuds that only
they create and know about.

Really bad folks. Awful. Worst slime. Lock. Them. Up.

[canetoad]

10. In his zeal

he forgot to say 'allegedly'. Maybe he plans to abolish trials, along with food regulations.

[chelsea0011]

12. Want's to eliminate the Constitutional right to an attorney? That's interesting.

[GWC58]

21. tRump's new Miranda:

"You have no rights, you have no right to an attorney, if you can afford one he/she will be barred. Anything you say will be used against you." This fucker is horrifyingly scary!

[dflprincess]

30. Somewhere today I read

(and I'm sorry I don't have a link) that since Saturday's events he thinks perhaps the press should be limited. So there goes the First Amendment as well.

And there are people who don't think Supreme Court appointments are a big enough to vote for Hillary.

Go figure.

[Third Doctor]

13. We are a lawful and advanced society.

Trump needs to found his own colony on the moon.

[Siwsan]

26. Not the Moon! I look forward to seeing the Moon. My suggestions is a colony on Uranus

You can't see Uranus with the naked eye so I'm pretty sure you can't hear him, either.

[mysuzuki2]

28. NO! Keep government out of my anus ...

[Siwsan]

29. You are totally cracking me up!!!

[wysi]

14. That pesky bill of rights

I'm sure DJT and his supporters would be happy to see it disappear.

[nightwalker]

15. Vigilante justice

It seems as if Trump supports vigilante justice, that we should have just gotten some rope and performed a community service. I find it ironic, that they were able to shoot this suspect without killing him, like every other cop in America.

[nolabear]

16. "Room service?" The man's barking mad.

He's just freaking barking mad.

[Kingofalldems]

17. We should let him die so he won't give up any info.

[MyNameGoesHere]

18. It's a counting problem.

Republicans count 2, 10, der yep that's it.

[0rganism]

19. i guess he has a problem with that whole due process thing

and maybe the constitutional ban on "cruel and unusual" treatment of prisoners.

Mr. Khan had it dead-on at the DNC when he wondered if DJT had even read the constitution of the country he desires to rule.

[Hugin]

37. The Mango Mussolini has sure been taking advantage of enough 'due process' lately.

He should be a big fan. But, as usual, only when it concerns Numero Uno. (disclaimer: Spanish used for irony.)

[Rex]

20. A true plutocratic response.

Trump is a rich moron.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

22. Trump thinks he is running to be Judge, Jury, & Executioner. . . . nt

[olddad56]

23. where would trump be without "outstadning lawyers"? probably in prison where he belongs.

not to mention "amazing plastic surgeons and hair transplant doctors".

[TomCADem]

24. Sounds Like Something Duarte Would Say

Maybe President Trump would sponsor an annual purge.

[hamsterjill]

25. He wants to be king, not President.

The sonofabitch doesn't understand the difference, and neither do his idiot followers.

[liberal N proud]

27. Trump's America would be a very dark and scary place.

[The_Casual_Observer]

31. This is pure AM radio bullshit.

[Rocknrule]

32. If the bomber was white

Trump would be saying "Poor guy, he was just mentally ill"

[SwankyXomb]

33. A fair trial, followed by a decent hanging

Just like his deplorables used to do it.

[Odin2005]

35. This is the kind of mentality that the Right's "law and order" rhetoric leads to.

[daleo]

36. l imagine he will get a public defender

who is overworked and underpaid, like most accused get.
