Don't forget that back in 1990 in the Central Park Jogger rape case, Trump took out a full page add in the NYTimes calling for the death penalty against the 5 kids that were suspected of raping and viciously attacking the young lady, leaving her for dead at the north end of the park.
Trump's action was radical, not only because it was so conspicuous, but because no trial had yet occurred and because the DP was outlawed in NY.
Nevermind, that the kids were absolutely innocent of the charges. Innocent. They were railroaded because of their age and race and Trump's actions only added fuel to an atomic pile of race and class tension in NYC at the end of the Dinkins administration when tensions were already super high thanks to "Rev Al" and the Tawana Brawley case.
Trump is a blow-hard, egomanic, narcissist. He used to represent aspects of what makes NYC the best city in the world, but that was a long time ago (i.e. 1980s Trump).
But, Trump is hard on crime. I can't imagine what "advice" he would give JA other than to take the punishment that is meted out by the jury. (notwithstanding hairstyle tips).
