Trump revealed the real reason behind the Alkatraz revival: ‘I was considered a filmmaker’

Donald Trump on Tuesday explained his amazing decision to revive Alkatraz, the notorious island jail from the coast of San Francisco. Away from a policy prepared in a committee room, Trump’s latest instruction seems to be more inspired by Hollywood than Washington, the US President insisted that the abandoned fort “is very strong, very powerful, very powerful in terms of law and order.”
“Okay, I think I was going to be a filmmaker,” Trump appeared to add his plan to revive the notorious island peninsula with a Hollywood-style vision of law and order, “I told reporters at the White House. “It represents very strong, very powerful, some in the context of law and order.”
His remarks followed a surprising instruction in the weekend, in which he ordered the Bureau of Jails, along with the Department of Justice, FBI and Homeland Security, “to reopen Alkatraz to reopen Alkatraz to detain America’s most cruel and violent criminals into custody. The announcement posted on Trump’s Truth Social Account caught officers and supervisors from the guard and widely jokingly made fun.
Social media users were in a hurry to note that the 1979 Clint Eastwood film * Escape * from Alkatraz broadcast on television in South Florida including West Palm Beach, where Trump spent the evening in Mar-e-Lago. “Are we getting American policy from TV shows?” One user posted on X.
Asked if he had taken inspiration from the film, Trump appeared pointing for connection. “Alkatraz is, I would say, Param, Right? Alkatraz, song and Alkatraz, movies,” He said, the gel “before describing the gel” terrible and beautiful and strong and unhappy, both as both as described.
East jail, located on a remote island in San Francisco, had some of the most infamous criminals of America, including Al Capone and George “Machine Gun” Kelly, before being closed in 1963 due to infrastructure and high costs in 1963. Since then, it has become a major tourist attraction under the National Park Service, which attracts more than a million visitors annually.
Despite Trump’s romantic claims that “no one has survived” and a prisoner was found to be dead by “a lot of sharks cutting”, the bureau of jails clarifies that five migrations were never found and are considered immersed. The agency also notes that there are no “man-eating” sharks in San Francisco Gulf.
Nevertheless, William Marshal, director of Trump’s new jails, said, “An immediate evaluation was going on:” The Jail Bureau will move strictly to support and implement the President’s agenda. “
Critics have rejected the plan as unrealistic. Former house speaker Nancy Pelosi, whose district includes Alkatraz, wrote, “The President’s proposal is not a serious proposal.” Others questioned spending billions on high security jails, while existing features are being closed due to equal infrastructure challenges.
But for Trump, Alkatraz’s symbolism is still large. “It just represents something strong with law and order,” he said. “We need law and order in this country.”
