https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-us-criminals-other-countries-incarceration-2021789"I don't want these violent repeat offenders in our country anymore. If they've been arrested many, many times, I want them out of our country," Trump said. "Let them be brought to a foreign land and maintained by others for a very small fee as opposed to be maintained in our jails for massive amounts of money including the private prison companies that charge us a fortune. Let them be brought out of our country and let them live there for a while and see how they like it. You'll see crime all over the country dry up."
Newsweek has emailed the White House and Department of Justice Monday night for additional remarks.

Gee, what country wouldnt jump at the chance to accept American repeat criminals?
Does he even realize HE is a repeat criminal???
