Donald Trump Down With Waterboarding Boston Bombing Suspect

From the archive: published Apr 21, 2013, 13 years ago. Details may have changed since.

We can’t tell if he’s joking, serious or just being himself, but business mogul Donald Trump took to Twitter to float his suggestion for what to do with Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. As soon as he wakes up, let’s waterboard him!

Trump has been offering his expert commentary on the Boston Marathon bombing pretty much since the story hit the news Monday afternoon, and boy, does he have things to say about Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

Ever since the latter’s capture Friday evening, the most talked-about question in the news is what to do with him.

Do we read him his Miranda Rights? Do we abandon due process owed to an American citizen and treat him as an enemy combatant? Do we decide on the death penalty now, or after his trial? Wait, should he even get a trial?

And while those questions are being battled out on the talk shows by the likes of Senator Lindsey Graham, Representative Peter King, and Senator Dianne Feinstein, Trump is having his own debate with himself on Twitter.

I’m not sure where I’m getting this from, but it seems to me that Trump sure thinks he’s clever.

Oh, that’s cute Donald.

But what if we want to skip that whole habeas corpus nonsense, Donald?

That’s more like it. Oh, don’t forget to plug your show!

The Real Donald Trump, everybody.
