Trump Vows to Broaden Laws on Torture

HeadlineMar 07, 2016

Speaking in Florida over the weekend, Trump said he would broaden laws on torture.

Donald Trump: “We’re going to rebuild our military. We’re going to knock out ISIS so violently and so fast. They chop off heads. They do things that we haven’t seen since medieval times, and we’re worried about waterboarding. So here, very—wait, wait, wait. Sit down. Sit down. Let me just tell you. OK? Excuse me. So I want to stay within the laws, and right now we have the laws, but I want to make those laws stronger so that we can better compete with a vicious group of animals, OK?”
