> The U.S. president describing with barely restrained delight his anticipation that escapees from the new facility in Florida would be eaten by alligators

Do you have a specific quote you can share? I haven't seen what you're referring to.

And I guess I think back to facilities like Alcatraz. It was created such that anyone trying to escape would likely drown. Is that the same thing you're talking about?

You can find this by googling "trump allegator escape".

I don’t see “barely contained glee at immigrants being eaten by alligators”, I see an attempt at making a funny comment about escaping alligators by not running in a straight line.

That seems like a paraphrase of the same thing? He’s joking about prisoners trying to escape the camp and being eaten by alligators.
