Trump Jokes About Escaping Alligators at Detention Site, Slams Musk, Teases Netanyahu Talks

On his way to the newly built migrant detention center in Florida’s Everglades—dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz”—U.S. President Donald Trump delivered a string of headline-grabbing comments. He joked about how detainees should escape alligators—“Don’t run straight, zig-zag!”—and then shifted gears to upcoming talks with Israeli PM Netanyahu on Iran and Gaza. Trump called a recent strike on Iran “obliteration,” praising it as “brilliant.” He also reignited his feud with Elon Musk, suggesting his government efficiency unit—nicknamed “DOGE”—might “eat Elon” over subsidy reviews. Trump doubled down on killing EV mandates, mocking hydrogen cars and saying “they blow up.” Watch the full video for Trump’s wild soundbites, what “Alligator Alcatraz” really is, and how this plays into 2025 election optics.
