Only on the condition that it's only used to imprison him, the members of his administrations, and the architects at organizations like the heritage foundation, and then I'll even chip in some of my own money.

And that it continue to be used as a tourist site, so people can go there and look at him and the other prisoners there like zoo animals.
Look at? You get to piss on them from above.
One more condition.
The tourists have access to a button that injects Trump with a tiny, survivable dose of the nerve gas from The Rock.

It could be his own Elba. I would be willing to chip in for that while we eradicate Trumpists from government.
Can the gift shop do souvenirs to order? Like if I wanted one of his tiny fingers from his tiny hands?

Alcatraz was closed because it was a scam not worth operating like Trump's casinos and his marriages.
I thought it was because maintaining an island is a bitch and it's easier to build a prison in the middle of a desert with the same effect IE Fulton.
Yeah so the boat company made money the supply companies. The city and government of San Francisco. Everyone was on the take.
likely he wants to use Alcatraz as a laundering scheme, like his casino with russian money via deustche bank.
What a fucking moron.
Buddy, $152m won’t even bring it up to code. Not that he cares.
Been a minute since I’ve been there—is there even a source of potable water on the island, or was that shipped in as well?
It’s still all shipped in and out to my knowledge.
Nope. All shipped in.

$152 million won’t even bring it up to code. The answer is no. Quit distracting us with this nonsense and just go to Hell. Satan’s waiting.
We’re fighting wars. We can’t take care of daycare.
He's spending money like crazy on useless stuff we dont need.
As intended. They're trying to crash the dollar/currency system to replace it with some crypto backed nonsense. Well that and to make sure the technofascists can own everything.

I've been to Alcatraz prison and gone on the tour and one of the things that she spoke about was how much of a pain it was being on an island. Since you're totally the mercy of the sea is to whether or not you can get supplies in.
The only real advantage of Alcatraz was that it was difficult to escape from but you can get the exact same result with fencing and guards, so there's no point putting up with the logistical challenges have been stuck on an island, which is why it was closed.
What makes you think dUmpf wants to provide supplies to the island?
The Rock has been on the TV again I see
Have him tour the place and do the part where they put him in a cell and lock it. But then skip the part where they open it back up.
Donnie, honey, tell me you’ve never been to Alcatraz without telling me you’ve never been to Alcatraz.
I fucking hate being stuck in the US. It is legitimately embarrassing. I wish I could move, but that takes years and tens of thousands of dollars to do correctly, even if you were to try to go somewhere with a low GDP.

That dipshit isn’t even asking for Sean Connery, Nicolas Cage and Ed Harris to work there?
One of many deeply frustrating things about Trump's fire hose of terrible and frequently actively evil ideas is that not only do they come in such volumes that it's overwhelming, but it's also incredibly hard to tell if something is a brief fixation he will quickly move on from or something that is going to be a recurring issue to deal with.
Which is to say: Christ, he's back on this one again?
Isn't it technically a national park? Therefore the direct property of the United States people?
Like the national parks they're attempting to sell? You gotta understand, there is no law anymore. Without enforcement, they are just words.

Lock up the Trump administration there. No heat no nothing f those losers
So apparently water has to be brought to it in tanks. And most of it is crumbling.
It was closed for good reasons.
This is so stupid
The worst part is he'll probably get it. But ask for $152m to improve infrastructure and Republicans say no while Democrats say "No. #blm :)"
Do we get to put him there when the renovations are done?
ADX Florence is far stiffer and built for even worse criminals while having much less logistical and operational issues vs. Alcatraz.
Apex symbol politics
Build one on Mars
To use as a political prison.
Of course Trump wants to reopen Alcatraz.
It is famously a prison where the worst criminals went. And just as famously, a prisoner escaped, never to be seen again.
He's just planning ahead. Personal plans. They're not particularly good plans, they're not cunning plans - in fact, they're pretty stupid plans, to be perfectly honest.
Haven’t heard about this in a few months. I had hoped that someone who understood what a logistical nightmare it would be had talked him out of it.
Dude grasping at straws at this point…
I can't imagine his friends at Geo group want it
Priorities, I guess.
it was made good use by YURI in RA2.
