So trump is going to build "housing" for 30.000 people, plus possibly hundreds of guards, who all need food, guards will need actual housing with maybefamilies who will need recreation too..

Just saying, this sounds like a VERY expensive distraction from the fact that they're working hard on robbing the US coffers blind...

Now make this for the 20 million or so, and you get to understand why the US will be bankrupt and over 4 years from now if this idiots continues this

Are they just reviewing all the accusations they made about Democrats over the past few years and just using that as a template for what they want to do.

Americans. You have a second amendment and a right to utilize that amendment against tyranny.

Exercise your right. In 4 years you won’t have a country that even remotely resembles what is supposed to be America and the land of the free.

Take down the nazis, destroy facism. Fight the power!

Can they even hold that many?

Theoretically? Well Manhattan has a population density of about 73,000 people per square mile so it's certainly possible to safely provide for 30,000 people in the space of Guantanamo Bay.

In practice? There's no way they'll be doing anything like that, and the cruelty is the point.

No, they can't. Guantanamo is a very harsh environment with very small capacity

Edit: well, I guess if the plan is to starve them and put them in unliveable conditions where disease is rampant and they begin to die in droves..yes it would make sense then.

And only $13 million per year in 2019, https://archive.ph/oOiK4 , per inmate that's $390,000,000,000 per year. Sounds like a great use of tax payer money.
