According to the book Nightmare Scenario: Inside the Trump Administration’s Response to the Pandemic That Changed History, authored by Washington Post reporters, Trump inquired about sending coronavirus-infected Americans to Guantanamo Bay.
“Don’t we have an island that we own? What about Guantanamo?” Trump reportedly asked in February 2020.
Guantanamo, aside from not being an island, is a military prison commonly used to house suspects of terrorism.
Trump publicly and repeatedly dismissed concerns about coronavirus throughout the pandemic.
