Trump's big day: A feud, a Senate win and "Alligator Alcatraz"

President Trump started Tuesday by feuding with Elon Musk and joking about alligators chasing immigrant detainees. He later celebrated the Senate's passage of his tax and spending bill, which he views as a major win. Trump visited a new immigration detention center in Florida, dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz," where thousands of detainees will be held in air-conditioned tents. Critics argue that this could lead to an environmental and humanitarian disaster. The bill is projected to add $3.3 trillion to the national debt and could result in 11.8 million Medicaid recipients losing coverage. Trump also made several threats, including arresting a New York City mayoral candidate, deporting US citizens who commit violent crimes, and prosecuting CNN for reporting on immigration raids. Despite criticism, Trump's team views this as his best day as president, with a series of "wins" in DC and Florida. Trump's White House has been buoyed by recent events, including a historic $1.4 billion war chest for the 2026 primaries and a Supreme Court ruling limiting nationwide injunctions on presidential policies. Trump's chipper vibe was evident throughout the day, as he stopped to chat with reporters and made several jokes. The president ended the day by announcing a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
