Caught on camera: Trump calls Biden a 'son of a b*tch' during Alligator Alcatraz tour

US President Donald Trump berated his predecessor, Joe Biden, on Tuesday as he toured the notorious “Alligator Alcatraz”, the new migrant detention centre in Florida.

Talking to reporters at the high-security prison facility, Trump said, “Hey, Biden wanted me in here. It didn’t work out, but he wanted me in here. That son of a bitch.” He was accompanied by the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and the Florida Governor, Ron DeSantis.

This is the second time in less than a month that the US president has sworn live on camera . Last month, Trump dropped an F-bomb after Iran and Israel continued bombing each other following the president’s announcement of a ceasefire.

He said, “I didn’t like the fact that Israel unloaded right after we made the deal. They didn’t have to unload. We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f**k they’re doing."

Trump tours ‘Alligator Alcatraz’

Trump toured the new Florida migrant detention centre dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” on Tuesday, boasting about the harsh conditions and joking that the reptilian predators will serve as guards.

The $450 million camp has been built on a disused airfield deep in the Florida Everglades and is surrounded by swamps that are home to creatures including alligators and poisonous snakes.

“Very soon this facility will house some of the most menacing migrants, some of the most vicious people on the planet,” Trump told reporters.

“We’re surrounded by miles of treacherous swampland and the only way out is really deportation.”

The steaming hot, mosquito-infested site is a symbol of the Republican administration’s determination to look tough as it pursues its policy of mass deportations of undocumented migrants.

The name “Alligator Alcatraz” is a reference to Alcatraz Island, the former prison in San Francisco, that Trump recently said he wanted to reopen.
