The president-elect talked about alleged gunman Mangione, who has been charged with killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
What's NewPresident-elect Donald Trump has said he does not understand the public's 'appetite' for gunman Luigi Mangione, who has been charged with killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, calling it a 'sickness.'Why It MattersA journalist asked Trump about his thoughts on the shooting. Mangione, 26, was arrested in Pennsylvania last week, following a manhunt for a gunman believed to have shot dead Thompson, 50, on December 4 in Manhattan.
Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a news conference last week that the shell casings recovered at the site matched the 3D-printed gun that Mangione possessed when he was detained in Altoona, Pennsylvania.A manifesto found with Mangione suggested his actions were fueled by anger toward the health insurance industry, describing executives as 'parasites.'In an interview with NBC New York,
Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said Mangione may have singled out Thompson due to the size of UnitedHealthcare. The suspect has never been a client of UnitedHealthcare.'I was happy to see that it was not specific to this gentleman that was killed, it's just an overall sickness as opposed to a specific sickness,' Trump said.
