Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump heavily criticized the U.S. instrument for justice that protects the rights of its citizens as part of a cynical effort to instill more fear and loathing than he already has.

During a rally in Florida today, Donald Trump told his supporters how unhappy he was that U.S citizens are allowed to be tried under the U.S. legal system, instead of a kangaroo Trump court, which houses a pristine guillotine to carry out his executions.

He said, "Today we have caught this evil thug who planted the bombs. Thank you, law enforcement. Thank you, police."

By the way, I'm glad he was happy with the police today. Aren't you, Corey?

He continued, "Great. But the bad part. Now we will give him amazing hospitalization. He will be taken care of by some of the best doctors in the world. He will be given a fully modern and updated hospital room. And he'll probably even have room service, knowing the way our country is. And on top of all of that, he will be represented by an outstanding lawyer..."

Trump is fashioning himself to rule like Mussolini's fascist Italy.

No, the amazing part, Donald Trump, is that America has a justice system which does its best to protect the rights of its citizens against authoritarian dictators.

The influence that Trump has had on conservative minds around the country is horrifying.

Curt Schilling wrote on his Facebook page that if someone is charged with terrorism, they should be stripped of their rights and and be subjected to execution:

And that's only the tip of the iceberg under President Trump.
