    Criminals don’t care about the rule of law. Does that mean we civilians should just execute shoplifters in the streets without trial or due process?

      That’s not what I said, though, and I’m pretty sure that’s some kind of logical fallacy being used. I’m talking about tRump, not all people. That’s why I said what I said.
