Donald Trump says he will resume federal executions as president and go after cop killers and child rapists
Donald Trump says he will end the Justice Department moratorium on executions on his first day in office, and use the full force of the law to go after major drug dealers and cop killers.
The Trump campaign sees crime, in general, and Kamala Harris’s record as a prosecutor in California, in particular, as areas where they can inflict damage on her presidential bid.
And in an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Trump laid out more details of his crime-fighting agenda starting with whether he would reverse the Biden-Harris administration’s freeze on federal executions.
‘Of course I would. I would have executions on major drug dealers,’ he said when asked if it would be a day-one priority.
‘I would have, perhaps, the raping of a child, the killing of a police officer.
Trump’s administration restored the use of the federal death penalty in 2019. And 13 federal death row inmates were executed, before Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland announced a halt in July 2021.
Some 27 states have the death penalty on their books, although seven have also suspended executions.
Trump has brought up the theme of tougher penalties for a range of crimes on the campaign trail to portray himself as the candidate of law and order.
Last week he was at the border with Mexico where he highlighted the damage done by cartels and smugglers, and met with grieving mothers..
‘We have people coming into this country. I just left a number of them last week, as you saw. at the border, where their daughters were killed, their sons were killed’ he said.
‘Their sons were killed by thugs and migrants coming into our country, and they viciously … they were viciously and violently killed and stuffed into garbage cans.’
Drug dealers responsible for hundreds of deaths should also face the ultimate sanction, he said.
‘The average drug dealer kills 500 people during that person’s lifetime. I would have no problem with that. If you’re going to stop the drug epidemic, you’re going to have to have a death penalty,’ he added.
Trump has used rallies and speeches to attack his election opponent, who rose from the San Francisco district attorney’s office to become California attorney general, as soft on crime.
Last week, at a Michigan sheriff’s office, he called her a police ‘defunder’ and a pro-crime ‘Marxist prosecutor.’
‘We’re here today to talk about how we are going to stop the Kamala crime wave that is going on at levels that nobody’s ever seen before,’ he said last Tuesday.
‘She is, as you know, the most radical left person ever even thought of for a high office.’
For its part, the Harris campaign has shrugged off his attacks, painting the contest as a former prosecutor against a ’34-time convicted felon,’ in a reference to the New York hush money case in which Trump was found guilty on all counts.
And it accused him of lying ‘about crime, which skyrocketed on his watch, about policing, which he tried to defund, and about the January 6 insurrectionists who attacked police officers defending our Capitol at his behest.
‘Donald Trump can’t bring us together so he tries to drive us apart. The American people will reject his failed leadership and divisive agenda this November.’
Harris has enjoyed a bump in her poll and fundraising numbers since she became the Democratic nominee for president.
But Trump said he had won a string of key endorsements and felt his campaign had gone from strength to strength.
During the interview, in the gilded splendor living room of Mar-a-Lago—the club’s most lavish reception room—also slammed Harris for waiting so long to give an interview, and laid out his unease with Florida’s strict abortion law.
This issue is a tricky one for Trump as he tried to keep his evangelical supporters on board without alienating women voters.
He has tried to keep all sides happy by saying abortion is an issue for states to decide. But he will Florida, where he lives, is holding a referendum on expanding access to abortion from its newly enacted six-week limit. He said he had made up his mind on the issue.
‘Well, I do know, but I do want more than six weeks,’ he said. ‘I want more than six weeks.
‘I think six weeks is a mistake. And I’ll be expressing that soon, but I want more than six weeks.
And in Florida, we have a six-week program, and that’s what I believe that you’re voting on, and I think it should be more than six weeks.’

The Matrix Star Keanu Reeves rejects record breaking $1 Billion Role offer with Robert De Niro, Prioritizes Peace Over Profit, citing De-Niro’s On set behavior as ‘Too Much’
Keanu Reeves shocked the film industry yesterday when he turned down a $1 billion movie role alongside Robert De Niro. Sources close to the actor revealed that Reeves was hesitant to work with De Niro due to his “woke” rants and shouting fits on set.
“Keanu values his peace and calm, and didn’t want to compromise that for any amount of money,” an insider explained. “He’s had experiences with difficult actors before, and didn’t want to repeat that with De Niro.”
The film, a highly anticipated action-thriller, was set to begin production next month. De Niro was reportedly “furious” when he heard the news, but Reeves remains unfazed.
“Keanu is a true professional and doesn’t let drama get in the way of his work,” the insider added. “He wishes the film all the best, but knows this decision is for the best.”
Reeves’ decision has sparked a heated debate in Hollywood, with some praising his commitment to his values and others criticizing his choice.
“Keanu is missing out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” a film critic argued. “De Niro is a legend, and working with him would have elevated Keanu’s career.”
However, others have expressed support for Reeves’ stance.
“Keanu’s prioritizing his well-being and that’s something to be admired,” a fan tweeted. “He’s a true role model for standing up for what he believes in.”
As the news continues to make waves in the film industry, one thing is certain – Keanu Reeves is a man of principle, and won’t compromise his values for any price.

CBS host Gayle King corrected on air after floating Travis Kelce DNC appearance despite Chiefs’ preseason game
The names of several A-listers were mentioned as possible surprise guests on the final night of the Democratic National Convention (DNC), including celebrities like Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, but one NFL star linked to Swift was also floated as a potential attendee.
The only problem? He was on the sidelines somewhere else.

CBS host Gayle King said Thursday that Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had “reached out” to Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign with interest in attending day four of the convention.

However, the Chiefs were slated to play in their final preseason game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium with an 8:20 p.m. kickoff time.
“The Taylor Swift rumor is interesting to me because I was told a couple of days ago that Travis Kelce also had reached out to the Harris campaign when it was first announced and said that he wanted to be here on the night that she was speaking. We’ll see if that is true,” said King.
I know he has a game, but that doesn’t mean he’s playing,” she said.
King did, however, admit that the rumor could be “part of the ‘keep hope alive’ plan.”

While Kelce did not appear at the United Center in Chicago on Thursday night, he also did not play in the final preseason game. Additionally, while the NFL schedule may have thrown a wrench in Kelce’s reported intentions to appear, the DNC also threw a wrench into Chiefs fans’ TV viewing plans.
The Kansas City Star reported Thursday that the broadcast in the area was set to air on KMCI instead of the usual KSHB. However, the DNC would be airing on TV instead of football. NFL Network was also airing the game, but due to blackout restrictions, fans in Kansas City would not be able to stream the game there.
