I'm really pissed off about this whole Alcatraz thing. It appears that Trump is actually moving forward with his plans to turn it back into a prison. This is going to cost taxpayers billions of dollars which should be spent on other things. What a horrible waste of money this will be if it actually happens. I would think that Republicans would be just as pissed off about it as Democrats. Alcatraz has not been a prison since long before I was even born. It's a museum, and a popular tourist attraction...and now, for the first time in my lifetime, a president wants to take all of that away and spend billions of taxpayer dollars to turn it back into a prison, which NOBODY asked for. Apparently one of the reasons they stopped using it as a prison was because it was so costly to keep it running. As a museum and tourist attraction, it's a huge benefit to society and also a huge source of revenue. But if they spend billions of taxpayer dollars to turn it back into a prison, that won't benefit anyone, and it will take away something that people really appreciate.
If you are actually in favor of spending all that taxpayer money to turn it back into a prison, PLEASE explain why. I really, truly want to understand why anyone thinks it's okay to spend taxpayer money on something like this which is totally unnecessary and unwanted. Has anyone actually been sitting around for the last 60 years wishing Alcatraz would turn back into a prison and stop being a museum and tourist attraction? Please explain how this would benefit anyone.
“I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, Trump?”
Escape from Alcatraz...
The 1979 film starring Clint Eastwood about the daring 1962 escape attempt aired on the local PBS channel just six hours before the president made his demand that the prison be reopened...

Multiple reports suggest that former President Trump's recent suggestion to reopen Alcatraz as a prison may have been inspired by the Clint Eastwood film "Escape From Alcatraz," which aired on a South Florida PBS station shortly before his announcement.
PBS had reportedly aired the movie on the Saturday night before Trump's announcement, and again on Sunday morning. While there's no direct confirmation that the film was the sole reason behind his proposal, it was aired just hours before he suggested reopening the prison and expanding it to house the nation's "most ruthless and violent offenders".
When asked about the Alcatraz proposal, Trump mentioned movies, stating, "I guess I was supposed to be a moviemaker. I mean, it represents something very strong, very powerful, in terms of law and order". He also referenced the escape attempt in the film, saying that "nobody ever escaped," but "one person almost got there".
