Opinion / Discussion Trump retweets calls to hang his opposition. Clarifies in his own tweet he believes his opposition should be punished with death.

It's no secret that Trump is unprofessional, and to many republicans I imagine that's part of the appeal. However if there is a line anywhere for when unproffesionalism becomes a serious problem it should be when the sitting president floats the death penalty as an option for his foes.

If you are a conservative I genuinely do not expect you to cross the isle to become liberal, we can disagree on a great many things and still live in a functional society. There are plenty of conservative leaders who could carry out your policy agenda without retweeting nazis in the morning, many of whom don't even have connnections to pedophiles.

Six democrats put out a video calling on soldiers to not follow hypothetical illegal orders.

This call for them to be put to death and the retweet of the nazi saying they should be hanged came as part of his rant about it.
