At a press conference today, Trump said the following:
"If you notice, every country that has the death penalty has no drug problem. They execute drug dealers. And when you think about it, it's very humane, because every drug dealer on average they say kills at least 500 people [...] I don't know if our country is ready for it. I am ready for it."
In the United States, the death penalty CAN be applied to a drug dealing penalty (barring any intervening Supreme Court decision saying otherwise), but it has never been applied; No one has been executed for drug dealing yet. Will someone be executed for distribution, possession with intent to distribute, or any similar (non-murder) charges in the US before the end of Trump's term?
