I can’t believe Trump is talking about reopening Alcatraz in
2025, John.

The last time that prison was open, Robert Kennedy was in the cabinet. And
I’m not talking about RFK Jr. (I mean the good RFK, the original). And no,
I do not think we should be reopening Alcatraz as a federal prison — a new
idea posited by Donald Trump this week. Probably after watching Netflix.

[ [link removed] ]Trump on Fox News. Chyron reads: Trump: Alcatraz represents something
strong

“Look at it, it’s sort of amazing. It sort of represents something that’s
both horrible and beautiful and strong and miserable and weak, it’s got a
lot of qualities that are interesting…”

This isn’t a serious proposal.

Millions of tourists visit Alcatraz every year, bringing in $60 million
for the National Park Service. And hundreds of millions more in tourism.

But instead of keeping this popular tourist attraction open, Trump wants
to reopen it as a federal prison, even though it was incredibly expensive
to operate in the 1960s when it closed and would be incredibly expensive
to reopen today. Even then, it was three times as expensive as any other
prison. Because it lacks fresh water and is, well, AN ISLAND.

This fundamentally unserious idea is part of his tough guy
persona, John,
and his effort to distract from his abysmal handling of the economy.

And it does absolutely nothing to help address the country’s most pressing
concerns. Nothing to help families struggling to make ends meet. Nothing
to make violent crime go down. Nothing to help bank accounts or 401ks.

While Trump is focused on Alcatraz, [ [link removed] ]I’m focused on supporting families.
Chip in to help power this work.

P.S. If you’re interested in Alcatraz, I recommend The Rock, Escape from
Alcatraz, or Birdman of Alcatraz. They are fiction, but are far more real
than anything Trump is proposing.
