Donald Trump says a man charged with the truck terror attack in New York should get the death penalty.
The US President has also tweeted that he would love to send the 29 year old Uzbekistan national to Guantanamo Bay, but that it would take too long.
Sayfullo Saipov has appeared in court shackled in a wheelchair, accused of killing eight people.
Kim Buckley has this report:
According to court papers, Saipov told officers that he felt good about what happened and had planned to continue his killing spree across the Brooklyn Bridge.
He revealed that he made a trial run the week before and carried out the attack on Halloween because there would be more people out on the streets.
He also requested if he can display an IS flag next to his hospital bed.
NYC terrorist was happy as he asked to hang ISIS flag in his hospital room. He killed 8 people, badly injured 12. SHOULD GET DEATH PENALTY!

Would love to send the NYC terrorist to Guantanamo but statistically that process takes much longer than going through the Federal system...
