Bring Back The Death Penalty.........

This ad was posted by Donald Trump in New York City in 1989. It was published in four newspapers. Since then these young men have been cleared after having been incarcerated for years! There has never been an apology from Trump or anything that remotely resembles remorse. But Americas favorite idiot always manages to do what he does best, add insult to injury!

The "Central Park five" are getting a $40 million settlement after they were wrongfully convicted of raping a jogger 25 years ago.

The five black and Latino men, who were then teens, were convicted in 1989 of raping a 28-year-old woman in Central Park. But DNA evidence and a confession by a serial rapist later cleared Antron McCray, Korey Wise, Kevin Richardson, Yusuf Salaam and Raymond Santana in 2002, after the five had spent as long as 13 years in prison.

In an piece published in the New York Daily News on Saturday, Trump calls the settlement a "disgrace."

My opinion on the settlement of the Central Park Jogger case is that it’s a disgrace. A detective close to the case, and who has followed it since 1989, calls it “the heist of the century.”

Settling doesn’t mean innocence, but it indicates incompetence on several levels. This case has not been dormant, and many people have asked why it took so long to settle? It is politics at its lowest and worst form.

Trump NEVER says he thinks the men are actually guilty of the crime they were wrongfully convicted of, but he does say, "These young men do not exactly have the pasts of angels." 

And neither does he.

The five men initially confessed to the crime, but they recanted their confession at trial and said it was brought about after they were coerced by police officers who did not allow their parents to be present during their lengthy and exhausting interrogation.

On May 1, 1989, while the case was in the media spotlight, Trump took out the full-page advertisement in four New York newspapers calling for the return of the death penalty and saying that "criminals of every age'' who raped the woman in Central park should "be afraid".

Trump is the most unreasonable, insane human being in the world, and anyone who considers supporting his presidential campaign should have themselves committed. He can be president of the klan maybe but of the United States. Not so much!
