On Tuesday we learned about Donald Trump’s plans to construct a moat along the US-Mexico border and fill it with snakes and alligators.
That was according to a report from the New York Times, which has now been confirmed by the Washington Post.
According to the Post, Trump also suggested arming US forces “with bayonets to block people from crossing into the United States across the Mexico border”.
The Times had reported that Trump additionally proposed shooting would-be migrants in the legs, so as to prevent them crossing into the US, and wanted his as-yet unbuilt border wall to be electrified, with spikes on top.
