Trump: Admiration for Mangione, the health care company killer, is a disease

President-elect Donald Trump said admiration for the suspected killer of the CEO of United Healthcare is 'a disease.'

"This is really terrible how some people admire him. However, I was glad that this was not an isolated case, it is actually a disease. So this liking is related to a specific disease. Terrible, how cold-blooded, how he killed in such cold blood and people admire that guy. This is really a disease. I can't even believe that this admiration is real. It could be fake news. I don't understand it," Trump said.


Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old man, has been charged with the shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City.
