Poll: About 20% of Democrats Want Donald Trump Executed, Exiled, Jailed for Life
Some Democrats wish the worst for former President Donald Trump, even though his presidency successfully created prosperity for the nation’s citizens.
Before the Chinese coronavirus came to the U.S., the Trump administration built the world’s most prosperous economy, according to White House archives:
- America gained 7 million new jobs – more than three times government experts’ projections.
- Incomes rose in every single metro area in the United States for the first time in nearly three decades.
- Unemployment for women hit its lowest rate in nearly 70 years.
- The DOW closed above 20,000 for the first time in 2017 and topped 30,000 in 2020.
- Jobless claims hit a nearly 50-year low.
- Lifted nearly seven million people off of food stamps.
Despite the accomplishments, many Democrats hold Trump in contempt.

According to a Rasmussen poll on Wednesday, about 20 percent of Democrats want Donald Trump in prison for life, executed, or exiled if he is convicted for allegedly overturning the 2020 election:
- 72 percent of Democrats believe Trump is guilty of crimes in the case
- 12 percent of Democrats say he should get life in prison if found guilty
- 4 percent of Democrats want him to be exiled
- 2 percent of Democrats are in favor of the death penalty
The poll sampled 1,085 voters from November 30-December 6 with a 3 point margin of error.
“If we needed any more evidence of the political left’s troubling descent into authoritarianism, this poll provides it in spades,” Jack McPherrin the Heartland Institute told Rasmussen.
“The number of Americans – especially Democrats – who already presume Trump’s guilt is already highly concerning,” he said. “And, if he’s found guilty, more than three-quarters of Democrats believe he should be banned from public office, with approximately one-fifth opting to jail him for life, put him permanently in exile, or execute him.”

Trump Slams Biden as ‘Low-IQ’ in Iowa: Joe ‘Most Corrupt’ President in ‘History’
Former President Donald Trump slammed President Joe Biden as “low IQ” and the “most corrupt” president in history, making the remarks on Wednesday during a speech in Iowa, where he is leading the Republican primary field in poll after poll.
Trump’s speech, which took place 33 days ahead of the January 15 Iowa caucuses, largely focused on the failure of the Biden presidency, according to excerpts of his speech.
“During this holiday season, families all across America are struggling under the brutal weight of Bidenomics. This year alone, the typical American family is $7,500 dollars poorer because of Crooked Joe’s globalist blunders and greedy betrayals,” Trump said, blasting Biden as a “low-IQ individual” — a criticism he has made before.
“And he is truly the worst, most incompetent, and most corrupt president in the history of our country,” Trump’s remarks read, asserting that the Biden administration is “running on the fumes of the great success of the Trump administration—without us, this thing would have crashed to levels never seen before, and if we are not elected, we’ll have a Depression very much like the Depression of 1929.”
Trump makes the argument that nothing has improved in America under Biden’s leadership.
“Under the Trump administration, you were better off, your family was better off, your neighbors were better off, and our country was better off—America was stronger, richer, safer, and more confident than ever before when you had me behind that desk in the Oval Office,” Trump’s remarks read, asking Iowans to honestly examine if they are better off today than they were four years ago.
Excerpts of the speech also show Trump slamming Bidenomics while making the declaration that the American Dream is “dead” under Biden’s leadership.

“But all of that will change the minute the polls close on Election Night 2024,” Trump’s remarks read. “The next economic boom will begin the instant the world knows that Crooked Joe Biden is gone, and Donald J. Trump has won four more years as President of the United States.”
It should be noted that Trump’s speech focuses on Biden — not Trump’s various primary challengers, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, anti-woke businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson.
Wednesday’s RealClearPolitics (RCP) average shows Trump leading in Iowa with 50 percent support, 30.3 points head of DeSantis.
