Donald Trump's recent proposal to reopen Alcatraz as a federal prison has drawn significant skepticism. The idea, initially humorously suggested by his son Trump Jr. on social media, was later pushed as a more serious policy statement by the former president. Critics, including Nancy Pelosi, dismissed it as impractical and not grounded in realistic policy-making. Trump's assertion that times of the past warranted stricter incarceration practices underlines a broader theme in his rhetoric, but the origins of the proposal raise questions about its seriousness and feasibility.
Trump Jr. responded to a post promoting his father’s controversial immigration proposal with: 'Now this is a great idea. Maybe we should also reopen Alcatraz?!?'. His jest was later echoed by Trump's serious proposal.
Trump suggested to 'rebuild and open Alcatraz', highlighting the 'seriousness' of locking up dangerous criminals and referencing past attempts to do so.
