Is Donald Trump planning to make public executions part of his official Presidential platform as he makes a second run for a second term in the White House?

According to a new report in Rolling Stone, Trump has been gathering opinions from his advisers about a number of different past methods of enforcing the death penalty on criminals sentenced to capital punishment.

The widespread returns of firing squads, hangings and even death by guillotine are all allegedly on the President’s wishlist.

The publication also cited two separate sources who claim that the idea of “group executions” has been floated by Trump.

A third source said Trump is interested in an ad campaign, funded by the federal government, that would “help put the fear of God into violent criminals.”

The report was denied by a spokesperson for the Trump campaign.
