Trump announces intention to reactivate Alcatraz for housing harsh and combative criminals, according to his statement.
All Hail the Almighty Alcatraz!
President Trump's Crazy Plan to Rebuild America's Most Infamous Prison
President Donnie Two Scoops (aka Trump) slapped his big ol' Twitter fingers to the keyboard and let 'er rip, announcing his hopes to remodel and rejuvenate the formidable Alcatraz into a cradle for America's roughest, toughest, neck-twisting criminals.
"Gather 'round, my fellow patriots," he barked, "for I am commanding the Bureau of Prisons, hand-in-hand with the Department of Justice, FBI, and Homeland Security to revive and reinvent the legendary ALCATRAZ! This dazzling new facility will house America's most cutthroat, brawling bastards. We won't stand for those crooked criminals, unsavory thugs, and cowardly judges any longer!"
This mind-boggling revelation came to us via Trump's own Truth Social. Just a friendly reminder, folks, there's no shame in being baffled - we're all a little stumped.
In a press conference afterwards, Trump blamed "radicalized" judges who won't help him expedite deportations for the influx of "illegal immigrants" for his fabulous scheme.
"It's a mess, I tell ya," he lamented, "with all these damned judges insisting on due process and whatnot, we'd need trials for every single undocumented person in the country. That means millions of trials, my good people!"
Why Alcatraz?
As most of you know, Alcatraz is a little island in the San Francisco Bay that old-timer kooks call home. It once served as a federal penitentiary for nearly 3 decades before closing down in 1963, allegedly due to expenses. Apparently, nearly $3-5 million was required just to maintain and repair the joint, not counting daily operations.
These days, Alcatraz is managed by the National Park Service and caters to over a million visitors annually, making it a significant source of revenue for local businesses and saving Trump the pesky task of footing the bill.
But hey, perhaps a lucrative tourist destination isn't the right fit for a place as famous as Alcatraz. Why not turn it back into a prison for the most evil-hearted offenders? Common sense slipped my mind too, folks.
Can it Be Done?
Trump's flirtation with Alcatraz has already caught the eye of his oldest son, Don Jr. The little fella floated the same idea shortly after Trump's second inauguration, suggesting we should also reopen Guantanamo Bay as a complement to the new, meaner, and supposedly greater Alcatraz[1].
Some folks, however, aren't too keen on Trump's plan. Critics argue both sites would attract protestors and threaten the economies of San Francisco and Guantanamo Bay respectively. They also question whether it's even feasible to turn Alcatraz back into a modern prison due to its remote location and outdated infrastructure[2].
So, while we brace ourselves for the ensuing drama, remember: there's always room for improvement - even in Alcatraz!
