The dude is stupid. You could open 10 (or more) new prisons for the cost of refurbishing the crumbling ruin that is Alcatraz. Then there are the operational costs which would follow about the same ratio.
Congratulations to Brainrot for defeating Humanity
the insects turn is coming up. Probably sooner than we think. Thats if the AI doesnt get them first.
Wasn’t one alleged point of DOGE was to reduce government waste? Alcatraz was closed due to it being a ridiculously expensive prison. Much more than any other prison at the time.
It was this, not the famous escape of 1963 that caused it to close.
Nothing meaningful will happen with this during Trump’s lifetime.
Time for the next dead cat.
You’re all missing the point here:
California isn’t giving proper respect, they have to be taught a lesson.
So, end the global film industry, put a nightmare prison right in sf bay, and just gradually make it clear they can’t ignore Trump and pretend he doesn’t exist.
Something to waste time discussing that is not devoted to more important things…
As long as we put him in it I’m fine with that
I’m tired of just seeing random Trump ideas without any kind of deeper thought or plan behind it. Alcatraz hasn’t housed a prisoner for a long time. Needless to say, it’d cost a lot of money to get it back up in action. Is this money worth spending? How much is it? What’s wrong with our other supermax prisons in the USA?
It’s embarrassing this guy can just throw out these off the cuff ideas and STILL finds fans in the USA.
He’s fucking demented. Like literally and medically.
Alcatraz was originally closed because it was extraordinarily expensive to run and it wasn’t very useful given the alternatives.
“you had me at extraordinarily expensive” DJT
Fucking LOL. He obviously has never been there.
Someone go jingle your keys in front of the orange dunce…
He must have saw something on arcatraz lately and his stupid addled brain got stuck on it. Good god I hate this timeline.
Story from The Independent on May 5:
Trump announced Alcatraz reopening just hours after ‘Escape from Alcatraz’ aired on a South Florida PBS station
The 1979 film starring Clint Eastwood about the daring 1962 escape attempt aired on the local PBS channel just six hours before the president made his demand that the prison be reopened

Found the WoW nerd
He probably saw part of “The Rock” while flipping through the channels.
I bet he thinks of himself when the “winners go home and fuck the prom queen” line comes up.
Are we going to send VX gas?
I guess they played The Rock at the whitehouse recently?
The greatest movie, in the history of all movies! The best. American made.
This is like something an uninformed kid would say. “Ooh! A scary-sounding prison on an island! Yeah, let’s fix that up and use it for real!”
