HOT TOPICS | Trump Wants to Reopen Alcatraz...What Could Go Wrong? - May 6th, 2025
Because nothing says “freedom” like bringing back Alcatraz, Trump has now floated the idea of reopening the infamous prison island. Yes, that Alcatraz, the one we turned into a museum because we thought we were done with locking people away on remote rocks.
So… why now? And who does he plan to put there? (Spoiler: it’s probably not white-collar criminals or corrupt politicians.)
Is this just another MAGA stunt? Or are we watching the early stages of state-sponsored prison camps take shape right before our eyes?
Let's break down the absurdity, the authoritarian undertones, and the truly dystopian vibes coming from the Trump administration’s latest "idea."
Because apparently the 2025 policy agenda is now just one bad Netflix thriller at a time.
