    Of course, all of those costs are related to giving people fair trials and weighing previous evidence and considering that previous trials might have gotten things wrong.

    In Trump’s America, you’re guilty until proven innocent, so none of that applies.

      In Trump’s America you’ll be guilty if he says so until executed. There will be no opportunity to prove innocence.
