President Trump is planning to keep the detention center at Guantanamo Bay open with an executive order that will reverse his predecessor's directive, according to a report.
Trump is expected to make an announcement about his plans sometime next week, according to Politico.
Trump, who campaigned as the “law and order candidate,” has repeatedly attacked the legacy of former President Barack Obama, who signed an executive order to shutter the facility in 2009.

I love it. Like the border wall it’s unnecessary if the Government does its job. Never happen. Symbolic.

Gitmo is one of the most strategic bases in the world. It guards the Windward Passage.
Good. Fill it back up. No reason to let all those facilities go to waste.
Excellent. Hope they tidy up a few cells for some rogue FBI agents and DOJ lawyers.
Even after all of the crimes the Clinton’s committed, the impeachment, the disbarment, the bombing of Serbia to take Lewinsky off the front page, the influence peddling and bribery at the Clinton Foundation, etc., they won a majority of the votes last election day.
The KLINTOONS would be in the WH and in CHARGE of this corrupt banana republic, only one man could stop them, a man named Trump.
Obama committed treason at the highest levels actively working to dismantle the US military and give our enemies nuclear weapons.
They are still obstructing justice with the full weight of the executive branch agencies and media supporting them. This fantasy that the criminals in government will be taken down is childish.
History clearly shows that only a military supported purge which includes mass arrests, imprisonments, seizing of assets, and executions will put a dent in these still currently untouchable bastards.
I sincerely think Trump doesn’t have the stones to take the next step.
A hopelessly corrupt government cannot be reformed using the electoral or judicial process, especially when the corrupt government, judiciary, oligarchy and press are allied against reform and have a vested interest in keeping the corruption ongoing.
Time is wasting away, less that 300 days until the GOP loses the House, and then Trump is impeached.
Based on the treasonous actions by the FBI and other intelligence agencies that have been uncovered, Trump is well within his rights to declare a State of Emergency and go all Erdogan on the domestic enemy and the press.
The type of PURGE Trump needs to intiate is described below from Wiki:
“The 2016–17 purges in Turkey are an ongoing series of purges by the government of Turkey enabled by a state of emergency in reaction to the 15 July failed coup d’état.
After the immediate arrest of military personnel accused of making the coup attempt, arrests were expanded to include further elements of the Turkish military service, as well as various civil servants and private businesses.
These later actions, reflecting a power struggle between secularist and Islamist political elites in Turkey, which began to be known as a purge, affected people who were not active in nor aware of the coup as it happened, but who were alleged to be connected with the Gülen movement, a group which the government blames for the coup. Even the mere possession of books authored by Gülen may be considered evidence of such a connection and cause for arrest.
Tens of thousands of public servants and soldiers were purged in the first week following the coup.
For example, on 16 July 2016, just one day after the coup was foiled, 2,745 judges were dismissed and detained.
This was followed by the dismissal, detention or suspension of over 100,000 officials, a figure that had increased to over 110,000 by early November 2016, over 125,000 after the 22 November decree, reaching at least 135,000 with the 7 January’s decrees, and about 160,000 after 29 April’s suspensions and arrests.
In the business sector, the government forcefully seized assets of over 1000 companies worth $11 billion, on the charge of being related to Gulen and the coup.
By late 2017 over a thousand companies and their assets owned by individuals allegedly affiliated with the movement had been seized and generally such things as goods produced by such companies had become boycotted by the public.
The purges also extend to the media with television channels, newspapers and other media outlets that were seen as critical of the government being shut down, critical journalists being arrested and Wikipedia being blocked since April 2017.
Since early September 2016, the post-coup emergency state allowed a turn against Kurdish groups, most notably with the dismissal of about 12,000 Kurdish teachers and 24 elected mayors and arrest of the co-chairs of the Peoples’ Democratic Party and Kurdish culture for alleged links with the Kurdistan Workers Party.”
THAT is what “Draining the Swamp” looks like.”
All I see is all talk and no action.
Congressmen writing letters ain’t gonna get it.
It was a stupid move on the part of the Kenyanesian Usurper, but then again he wanted to show his muslim brothers he meant well.
We need a place to keep jihadis.
Yes, do Pete and Lisa get to share a cell?
It may be a gesture, but it’s a good gesture.
The fabulous TRUMP GITMO
“they won a majority of the votes last election day.”
You don’t seriously believe Clinton “won” a majority of votes, do you? Results might show a majority, but they certainly weren’t legitimate.
Open the Barack Hussein Obama Cellblock, umm ummm ummm.
Delightful. Then the guy that escapes and gets the Bud Light can place it just out of reach from both of them.
Even discounting all of the illegitimate votes, its doubtful that unless a purge takes place, the GOP will never take the WH again with the majority of the popular vote.
Take a look at the counties in CA and TX that border Mexico.
Too many third worlders voting.
Trump will have a real problem winning Florida in 2020, over 200,000 Puerto Ricans have come over in the last 4 months, and he only won the State by 105,000.
Yeah, I’m not in favor of that in America. That would officially turn us into South America. Maybe if Trump fails. If he is in office for 8 years, and especially if his success can lead to another Republican (who is not a Bush-type traitor) succeeding him, America should be saved. If Trump gets booted, if Democrats get back to running things, then the military has to decide if to protect the Constitution and their oath, they have to violate the Constitution and take over for a time. It would be a dangerous time; the only military leader who ever controlled a country and returned it to civilian control was George Washington.
That’s why Obama left it open!
So Trump could fill it with Muslim terrorists!
