Trump's Cruelty

As Trump left the White House for the new detention facility his administration has dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz,” he told Fox News reporter Peter Doocy what Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt meant last Friday when she said the facility was in the Florida Everglades surrounded by dangerous animals.

Doocy: “With Alligator Alcatraz, is the idea that if some illegal immigrant escapes, they just get eaten by an alligator?”

Trump: “I guess that’s the concept. Snakes are fast but alligators — we’re going to teach them how to run away from an alligator. Don’t run in a straight line,” Trump said as he waved his hands, “like this.”

“We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time…many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that’ll be the next job.”

Cruel and crazy. The man is seriously disturbed.
