Sure, why not.

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. 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. 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!

I can think of a repeat offender I really wouldn’t mind to be tossed into alcatraz. 34x and not a day in jail.

I always expect Trump to say the most absolutely brain-dead shit, but my initial instinct with this was still that it came from the Onion. He really is the most incredible moron, but I also wonder how much of this is an attempt to drive Americans away from having any knowledge or sympathy for the peoples of other countries. With Trump, the stupidity, performative (and usually self-destructive) “patriotism” and racism/xenophobia get all muddled together, it’s hard to tell what particular element is driving any particular decision.

someone’s been watching old Edward G. Robinson movies past his bedtime.

seriously, WTF? he has - proudly - compared himself to “the late, great Alphonse Capone” and seems to be living in those old “cops-n-robbers” flicks in glorious black and white, all the while projecting this stream-of-consciousness bullshit about cRiMiNaLs and his idea of law enforcement (hint: he means brownshirts and gestapo, i.e. “his” FBI).

besides, why rebuild Alcatraz, when we’re already paying to disappear people to El Salvador? always looking for ways to shirk his contractors.

He’s an oathbreaker. That alone is worthy of impeachment. And congressional Republicans are also oathbreakers for not impeaching him.

Yes on that, but the award does send a message out there and annoys Trump.

That alone makes it worthwhile

Meh, he only took a solemn vow to do so, doesn’t really mean anything. :frowning:

What’s the message? That a Republican who chooses not to overtly betray his country is somehow more heroic than the people who have been trying to save it? Because that’s what I get out of it.
