PS: Trump telling Bukele he needs to build “about five more” CECOT-style prisons for homegrowns—meaning American-born citizens—implies something horrifying:
He already has the list.
Each CECOT mega-prison can hold up to 40,000 inmates. Multiply that by five—plus the original—and you’re talking about roughly 240,000 U.S. citizens Trump envisions exiling into authoritarian custody.
This isn’t offhand rhetoric.
It’s logistics.
