Donald Trump wants to cancel the live broadcast of the execution of military psychiatrist Nidal Hasan.

The reason is reports that the man convicted of the 2009 shooting at Fort Hood is paralyzed and uses a wheelchair.

According to CNN, Trump’s advisers warned him that footage of a person in a wheelchair being shot could be used by extremist groups for propaganda and to create a “martyr” image.

The Pentagon is also discussing changing the format: if the execution is broadcast, the signal will likely be cut off immediately before the shots are fired.

❗️Hasan was found guilty of killing 13 people and wounding more than 30 fellow service members. His execution is scheduled for December 3. If the sentence is carried out, it will be the first execution by firing squad of a service member by the U.S. military since World War II and the first execution in the U.S. armed forces in the past 65 years.
