    Lol... the Dems will start a thread on every silly stream of consciousness that Trump utters out loud. Maybe he was just trying to troll the Dems... Lol.

    He speaks of the “late, great” Al Capone. And he probably thinks Hannibal Lecter was housed there also.

    Not sure your attempted insult works here. Al Capone DID IN FACT stay in Alcatraz.

    He's the president. People in our government are wasting our tax dollars right now to see if they can make this idiotic idea a reality.

    And Capone was “great”??? Surprised Trump hasn’t issued him a pardon.

    In his later years Al Capone was a mentally ill Florida man too

    Uttering silly, stupidities out loud is dementia unless you're in Congress.

    Why do you people bitch about everything? Trump is, without any semblance of a doubt,delivering exactly what he promised, and what we all expected — pure entertainment.

    Every day, all day. Entertainment of the most unexpected, unanticipated variety. More than we could ever imagine.

    Who could have anticipated Greenland becoming our number 1 enemy? Who would have thought he’d declare trade war on our allies, on our biggest trading partners, or AGAINST PENGUINS?!?!

    And who could have ever imagined, on the same day he declared he’d “tariff the movies,” he decides to open one of Hollywood’s biggest “stars,” Alcatraz, because … THIS IS ENTERTAINMENT.

    Enjoy this, my follow Americans. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

    How would we know?!?!?! Seriously, what is the baseline to know when he utters something which is actionable, and what is trolling?

    I admit it, I am not intellectual enough to be functionally literate in Trumpese. Can you help us translate?

    Should we start taking this seriously now, Rick? Does it bother you that you can't even tell the difference between a troll attempt by the president and a serious order?

    Wasn't there a Dirty Harry movie that had it's ending scene on Alcatraz? Maybe Tyne Daly in it?

    And a big chunk of it is a bird sanctuary and some of the buildings are returning to nature and tourists aren't allowed during nesting season.
    It would be beyond expensive not only to fix up the facilities but supplying the island requires a boat which is much more expensive than deliveries with a truck.
