"On Wednesday night, President Donald Trump tweeted that the man suspected of killing eight people on a crowded Manhattan bike lane should receive the death penalty — a move that some worried could complicate future legal proceedings".
“NYC terrorist was happy as he asked to hang ISIS flag in his hospital room,” Trump wrote in a rare late-night tweet. “He killed eight people, badly injured 12. SHOULD GET DEATH PENALTY!”

"But the damage might already be done — and Trump of all people should know that, because he’s gotten in trouble for this kind of thing before.
It’s a widely known but unofficial rule that presidents shouldn’t weigh in on the guilt or innocence of a defendant, because of the influence their high seat holds. A declaration of guilt, for example, could sway the public’s inherent bias, making jury selection far more difficult down the road".
The clown just can't help it I guess.
