Trump’s Alcatraz Plan Is Political Theater - Stop It

President Trump’s call to reopen Alcatraz is not leadership, it’s a distraction. Instead of focusing on real issues like inflation, housing costs, and wages, he’s pushing symbolic stunts that divide rather than solve. Alcatraz is a decommissioned landmark, not a serious solution to public safety or prison reform (AP News, May 2025). This proposal fits a dangerous pattern: performative “tough on crime” rhetoric that ignores evidence and inflames fear. Trump has floated the idea of sending suspects to foreign prisons and stripping due process from accused individuals. These are authoritarian ideas, not American values. I urge you to stand up for responsible governance and call out this misuse of power. Americans need real solutions, not political theater.
