An Unfiltered President at “Alligator Alcatraz”
While touring the new “Alligator Alcatraz” immigration detention facility in the Florida Everglades on Tuesday, President Donald Trump let fly with a blunt assessment of his predecessor. In a hot mic moment captured on video, Trump referred to former President Joe Biden as a “son of a bitch” for what he claims were politically motivated attempts to imprison him.
The comment came as Trump, flanked by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, toured the newly opened facility for criminal illegal aliens.
“Biden Wanted Me In Here”
The president’s unfiltered remark was a direct response to his own recent legal battles. While standing inside the facility, which features chain-link enclosures and bunk beds, Trump joked about the irony of the situation. “Hey, Biden wanted me in here, OK?” he said to reporters, according to the New York Post. “It didn’t work out, but he wanted me in here.” He then added under his breath, “That son of a bitch.”

A Response to a “Witch Hunt”
Trump’s comment is the latest salvo in his ongoing war against what he and his supporters have labeled a “weaponized” justice system. He has consistently argued that his May 2024 conviction in New York on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records was a politically motivated “witch hunt” orchestrated by his enemies to interfere with the 2024 election.
His visit to the detention center, a symbol of his own administration’s tough enforcement policies, provided a dramatic backdrop for him to reiterate his claim that the justice system was turned against him. The tour was intended to showcase the administration’s aggressive new approach to immigration, including the use of remote facilities like “Alligator Alcatraz” to house and deport criminal aliens.
