        This is true. However, some context:

        • When Dubya opened Gitmo, it contained around 800 prisoners.

        • When Obama left office, that number was down to 40.

        • Trump deleted the government office that works to release Gitmo prisoners and ignored it for his entire first term.

        • On Biden’s entry, he re-opened that office and by the end of his term, the total number of Gitmo prisoners has been reduced down to 15.

        • Trump has now ordered Gitmo to reopen for an additional 30,000 prisoners and will likely again kill the organization responsible for appropriately dealing with those prisoners.

        I agree with you that this place should never have existed. I agree that we should destroy it. I only ask,as with most things today, that people pay attention to who has been trying to destroy it and who has been celebrating it.
