California lawmakers reacted to President Trump's suggestion to reopen Alcatraz with skepticism, mockery, and concern. Trump, advocating for the refurbishment of the historic prison to house "the dregs of society," aimed to portray it as a solution to his legal struggles. However, lawmakers, including Rep. Sam Liccardo and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, dismissed the idea, highlighting it as an unserious distraction from pressing issues like living costs and housing. Alcatraz, closed since 1963 due to high operational costs, now serves as a major tourist attraction generating significant revenue.
The president says so many stupid things. This is yet another one, trying to distract from the fact that he hasn't addressed the cost of living for everyday Americans.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stated online that the President's proposal is not a serious one, emphasizing the impracticality of reopening a historic landmark.
