The Guantanamo Bay Reboot, Part of the Vicious “America First” Fascism of the Trump/Pence regime.
In his first State of The Union message, Donald Trump announced the signing of a new executive order to keep Guantánamo Bay open to the sound of applause. He said those who didn’t applaud his speech are traitors.. His remarks are a harbinger of new waves of prisoners, staying true to his campaign promise to fill Guantanamo up with “some bad dudes.” He pledged to, “have all necessary power to detain terrorists wherever we chase them down, wherever we find them. And in many cases for them it will now be Guantánamo bay.” He further stated that “Terrorists who do things like place bombs in civilian hospitals are evil. When possible, we have no choice but to annihilate them,” disregarding due process. This is an expression of painful hypocrisy as Trump is a blood-thirsty fascist who bombs whole villages, mosques and schools. The budget proposed by the Trump/Pence regime reflects these vows with a $69 million investment in a Guantanamo reboot.
