President Trump spoke to reporters at the White House on Tuesday morning as he departed for Florida to tour the new alien detention facility at Florida’s Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport, informally known as “Alligator Alcatraz.”
Like the original Alcatraz Island in the San Francisco Bay, Florida’s Alligator Alcatraz will be surrounded by deadly conditions, including alligators, pythons, and dense swampland in the Florida Everglades.
“It’s an East Coast version,” the President said.
President Trump confirmed to reporters this morning that the concept of the facility is for alligators and pythons to eat any potential escapees. “I guess that’s the concept,” he said.
“Snakes are fast, but alligators are big. We’re going to teach them how to run away from an alligator, okay? If they escape prison, how to run away. ”
“Don’t run in a straight line. Run like this,” he said waving his hands in a zig-zag motion.
“Your chances go up about 1%, okay? Not a good thing.”

Trump: I guess that’s the concept. This is not a nice business. I guess that’s the concept. If you, you know, snakes are fast, but alligators are big. We’re going to teach them how to run away from an alligator, okay? If they escape prison, how to run away. Don’t run in a straight line. Run like this, and you know what? Your chances go up about 1%, okay? Not a good thing.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Monday “there is only one road leading in,” and “the only way out is a one way flight.”
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump is touring the new facility today and will participate in a roundtable discussion with his team and Florida officials.
