The death penalty is the punishment of execution. There are 31 states that use and support the death penalty under certain circumstances. As of now 144 wrongly convicted people on the death row have been executed. We don't know for sure how many people have been falsely convicted of a crime and have been executed. The death penalty is also very expensive.
I refute the death penalty, not for sympathetic reasons towards those convicted, but because it has no effect on crime rates, and even after that person had been executed, the family still has to pay for the funeral, and family members may become anguished from this situation, if the convicted person is given life, that is less likely to happen. It is an appropriate alternative. This punishment isn't even reserved for the worst crime, it is mainly based on race,or the people with the worst lawyers, and doesn't apply to people with money.
To conclude my response, I refute the death penalty, because it doesn't change anything, and it's a waste of money. Why let that person take the easy way out, rather than making them sit in a prison cell all day, miserable, and depressed, because they chose to go down the wrong path and make the wrong decisions?

Donald Trump is an actor/ TV personality, who is currently running for President. He is mainly known for his offensive, belittling, and racist statements towards the Mexican and African American community. Most adults, that I myself have conversed with, and A-lister celebrities do not support him, and don't plan on voting for him when the time comes around.
These A-listers specifically, expressed that they would move out of the country if he does win the election, knowing these comments are being made, Trump feels this is only helping advertising his campaign. "All publicity is good publicity". I personally don't think running away from the problem is going to make it go away.
Instead of people helping him by using their big names or even normal citizens using social media to refute him, we should be using it to help advertise someone who is fit to run our country.
