A man who confessed to murdering 70 people throughout his life issued a message to Donald Trump just moments before his execution.
Glen Rogers is the fifth person to be executed in Florida this year, after spending nearly 30 years of his life on death row.
The 62-year-old is known as the 'Casanova Killer', after becoming renowned for picking women up in bars and attacking them later in the night.
He was executed on 15 May for the murder of two mums on separate occasions, but Rogers claimed that he killed around 70 people across the US in his lifetime.

The first of the two murders occurred in 1995 - when he met mum-of-two, Tina Marie Cribbs, in a bar.
Rogers was later convicted of the 32-year-old's murder in Florida.
He also received a death sentence in California for the 1995 strangulation of another mum, Sandra Gallagher, who he also met in a bar.
During his final words, just moments before his execution via lethal injection, Rogers thanked his wife who had visited him earlier in the day.
But he also issued a message to an unexpected person - none other than Donald Trump.
"President Trump, keep making America great. I’m ready to go," he said, just moments before his lethal injection was administered.
He then followed it up with a cryptic message.
He added: "In the near future, your questions will be answered."
It took just 16 minutes for the injection to take full effect, and professionals were brought in to ensure the killer was no longer conscious.
The killer's final meal was also revealed. According to the prison, his choice was pizza, chocolate cake, and soda.
The murders of Cribbs and Gallagher happened just weeks apart, and Rogers has confessed to many more murders, some of which will ultimately never be known.
There are set to be multiple more executions in Florida this year than in recent years, as just six individuals were executed in Florida for the entirety of 2023.
The governor signed off on yet another execution just last week.
The next person to receive the death penalty in the state will be Anthony Wainwright, a 54-year-old man.
He was found guilty of the 1994 kidnap, rape and murder of Carmen Gayheart, after she was taken from a carpark.
