Can anyone contextualise this for outsiders? I know trump used to talk about draining the swamp, but who is she hinting at throwing to the gators?

I assume it is a reference to the idea of holding immigrants in swamp based concentration camps and pretending that the local wildlife will eat anyone who tries to escape. It is even dumber and more malicious than it sounds.

Thank you. Just what I was looking for. I should have known "immigrants" would be involved, I think i just got thrown off by memories of "Drain the swamp" and thought this was about rival politicians.

Good luck with everything. Let me know if there's any way we can help 🫠
