Sounds like hold my beer and pass the shotgun moment to me.

We can only hope.

Given what he's doing to the US economy, chances are he'd hold the shottie backwards...

Donald Trump orders reopening of notorious Alcatraz prison and reveals who will be sent there

 

Donald Trump took to Truth Social to announce why he wanted to reopen the famous prison.

 

Donald Trump has repeatedly insisted that he wants to be tough on crime and criminals, and on May 4, he announced the next step in this plan.

 

He insisted that he was going to be reopening the infamous San Francisco prison Alcatraz.

 

Writing on Truth Social, he said: “REBUILD, AND OPEN ALCATRAZ! For too long, America has been plagued by vicious, violent, and repeat Criminal Offenders, the dregs of society, who will never contribute anything other than Misery and Suffering.”

 

Trump also explained what types of prisoners he would send to Alcatraz if the prison was to reopen.

 

He continued: “When we were a more serious Nation, in times past, we did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals, and keep them far away from anyone they could harm. That’s the way it’s supposed to be.

 

“No longer will we tolerate these Serial Offenders who spread filth, bloodshed, and mayhem on our streets.”

 

It is not clear how long it would take to reopen Alcatraz prison, or how much of a priority this remains to Trump, but he did explain the steps he is taking to get this plan underway.

 

He added: “That is why, today, I am directing the Bureau of Prisons, together with the Department of Justice, FBI, and Homeland Security, to reopen a substantially enlarged and rebuilt ALCATRAZ, to house America’s most ruthless and violent Offenders.

 

“We will no longer be held hostage to criminals, thugs, and Judges that are afraid to do their job and allow us to remove criminals, who came into our Country illegally. The reopening of ALCATRAZ will serve as a symbol of Law, Order, and JUSTICE. We will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

"...vicious, violent, and repeat Criminal Offenders, the dregs of society, who will never contribute anything other than Misery and Suffering."

 

Sounds like he's describing himself.  Is he going to be the first prisoner?

Orange is the new Orange.

More significantly, he listed "and judges".

 

After all, a supreme leader must be above the law.

It was closed years ago because it was uneconomic to keep it open. Everything needed to run it has to be transported across the bay. Not that Trump would have considered that. All he’s thinking is “I’m the famous guy who reopened Alcatraz!”
