Washington Post reports...

In the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, as White House officials debated whether to bring infected Americans home for care, President Donald Trump suggested his own plan for where to send them, eager to suppress the numbers on U.S. soil.

"Don't we have an island that we own?" the president reportedly asked those assembled in the Situation Room in February 2020, before the U.S. outbreak would explode. "What about Guantanamo?"

"We import goods," Trump specified, lecturing his staff. "We are not going to import a virus."

Aides were stunned, and when Trump brought it up a second time, they quickly scuttled the idea, worried about a backlash over quarantining American tourists on the same Caribbean base where the United States holds terrorism suspects.

"I'm going to lose the election because of testing! What idiot had the federal government do testing?"

"Uh, do you mean Jared?" Azar responded, citing the president's senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner.
