    He’s ordered the re-opening of Alcatraz. Really.

    Donald Trump says he is directing his government to reopen and expand Alcatraz, the former prison on an island off the coast of California.
    In a message on his Truth Social site on Sunday, President Trump said that "for too long America has been plagued by vicious, violent, and repeat criminal offenders".
    The reopening of Alcatraz would serve as a "symbol of law, order, and justice," he said.
    The prison was closed in 1963, and Alcatraz Island is currently operating as a tourist site. It lies near San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge.
    "Today, I am directing the Bureau of Prisons, together with the Department of Justice, FBI, and Homeland Security, to reopen a substantially enlarged and rebuilt ALCATRAZ," Trump wrote.
    The prison would "house America's most ruthless and violent Offenders"..

      Can’t the government he’s “directing” just laugh at him?

      These executive orders have become just stream of consciousness musings.

              We have security measures far beyond the geographical features of Alcatraz, and it's not big enough anyway.

                I think this is part of his new reality show called The Potemkin Presidency.

                But he's still directing people to look at it, which is a waste of time and resources.
