President Trump on Wednesday demanded the North Carolina man accused of murdering a Ukrainian refugee on a Charlotte train be put to death after a "Quick" trial.
Why it matters: Trump has previously called for the death penalty for all murders in D.C. and Republicans have seized on the Charlotte attack as evidence the president's decision to send the National Guard and federal agents to fight crime in cities is justified.
What he's saying: "The ANIMAL who so violently killed the beautiful young lady from Ukraine, who came to America searching for peace and safety, should be given a 'Quick' (there is no doubt!) Trial, and only awarded THE DEATH PENALTY," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "There can be no other option!!!"
Catch up quick: The suspect, Decarlos Dejuan Brown Jr., 34, was charged
