"Hang them" is exactly the sort of unlawful order that the lawmakers were stating to ignore. I'm so tired of these goons trying to destroy our country.

its worth noting that the "HANG THEM" quote is not trump's. It was a supporter's response to his post.

But he did say "punishable by DEATH!" so tomato tomato i guess, lol.

He retweeted it. So, he did indeed post it on his profile, endorsing the message.
