President Donald Trump said in a social media post Sunday that he is directing the Bureau of Prisons to rebuild and reopen Alcatraz, the infamous former prison, as a place to “house America’s most ruthless and violent Offenders.”

It's very known, fascists loves prisons, they'll build more prisons than hospitals and schools, they'll re open some antiquities and they'll send many people there without regarding if they had a honest trial because the imbecile in chief said that it will be... waste of time.

Our Ministry of Truth will consider calling Alcatraz as the "Reporters' Resort". Any reporter who reports that my buddy Dingleberry's approval is less than that of Putin (83%) could be sent on a free "Vacation" to this resort.

Once again, you have failed at the headline. If you give this story, attention at all, it should be pointing out how stupid, ludicrous and unworkable the idea is. Mentioned that it was posted late at night on a Sunday when most humans should be asleep, not dreaming of weird schemes.
