For Trump, the spectacle was crucial. “He had a particular affinity for the firing squad,” says one of the former White House officials. He'd say, “They need to be eradicated, not jailed.” Administration officials privately referred to this demand as Trump’s “American death-squads idea,” comparing it to the drug-war bloodbath carried out by Filipino strongman Rodrigo Duterte. (The sources, some still very much within Trump’s circle, requested anonymity in order to speak candidly about sensitive conversations.)

What If Trump Wins?

The chaos and lawlessness of the first term could pale in comparison to what comes next.
