Trump Doubles-Down On Sending American Citizens To El Salvador’s Gulag: “I Would Love To Do That” [VIDEO]

TRUMP: “He’s [Bukele] made it a very safe place. People go and they feel very secure and safe. He’s also built one, but other also prisons, very big ones; and we’re using his system because we’re getting rid of our criminals from out of the United States who were allowed to come in by Biden. We’re getting them out, and the president is helping us with that, President Bukele. So I was very impressed with him, very, very impressed. Great guys.”

RACHEL CAMPOS-DUFFY: “Could we use it for violent criminals, our own violent criminals?”

TRUMP: “I call them homegrown criminals.”

CAMPOS-DUFFY: “Yes, the homegrowns.”

TRUMP: “The ones that grew up and something went wrong and they hit people over the head with a baseball bat and push people into subways just before the train gets there like you see happening sometimes. We are looking into it and we want to do it. I would love to do that.”
