"Because of the Violence and Criminality I have seen due to the Open Border Policy of Sleepy
Joe Biden
, in particular allowing millions of people into our Country who shouldn't be here, I wanted something representative
to show how we fight back
," Trump wrote. "And then, it happened, I saw a picture of ALCATRAZ looking so foreboding."

"I said, 'We're going to look into renovating and rebuilding the famous ALCATRAZ Prison sitting high on the Bay, surrounded by sharks. What a symbol it is, and will be!'," Trump continued. "Conceptual work started six months ago, and various prison development firms are looking at doing it with us. Still a little early, but lots of promise!"
Trump's post about the hypothetical new version of the infamous prison comes months after he initially floated the idea of reopening the prison.

In May, the president first posted the idea that he wanted to reopen the prison that held the likes of Al Capone, Whitey Bulger, Machine Gun Kelly and several others.
"For too long, America has been plagued by vicious, violent, and repeat Criminal Offenders, the dregs of society, who will never contribute anything other than Misery and Suffering," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "When we were a more serious Nation, in times past, we did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals, and keep them far away from anyone they could harm. That's the way it's supposed to be."

'That is why, today,' he said, '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, to house America's most ruthless and violent Offenders.'
It was also suspected that Trump had gotten the idea after watching the Clint Eastwood flick Escape from Alcatraz, which aired around the same time as the posts.
According to WLRN-TV's schedule, the movie aired at 9 p.m. EDT and 11 a.m.
Both times, Trump was at Mar-A-Lago in
Palm Beach, Florida,
according to the president's official schedule.

According to
POTUS Tracker
, the president arrived at Mar-A-Lago at approximately 12:54 p.m. EDT and did not leave for the rest of the day. He then traveled to Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach and arrived back at Mar-A-Lago at approximately 12:16 p.m.
It's impossible to know whether or not Trump was actually watching the film at the time, but that did not stop the internet from running wild. "Guess what was on TV in South
Florida
on Saturday night? The 1979 Clint Eastwood film 'Escape from Alcatraz.' The film aired on WLRN TV, a public station that serves all of South Florida, including West Palm Beach," one user said.
"Thank you. This clown saw the movie and came to work with this idea and the cowardly dumbass mindless followers and the ones on here are defending this. It is no deterrent," another user wrote. Alcatraz Island is now a major tourist site that is operate by the National Park Service and is a designated National Historic Landmark.

Hamas ‘ready for a ceasefire' but only if a deal ends the war in Gaza
Hamas has suggested it is open to a ceasefire agreement with Israel but insisted on its longstanding position that any deal must bring an end to the war in Gaza. The militant group stopped short of accepting a US-backed proposal announced by Donald Trump hours earlier. The US president said on Tuesday that Israel had agreed on terms for a 60-day ceasefire and urged Hamas to accept the deal before conditions worsen. He has been increasing pressure on the Israeli government and Hamas to broker a ceasefire and hostage agreement and bring about an end to the war. Donald Trump (Evan Vucci/AP) Mr Trump said the 60-day period would be used to work towards ending the war — something Israel says it will not accept until Hamas is defeated. He said a deal might come together as soon as next week. Hamas's response raised questions about whether the latest offer could lead to an actual pause in fighting. Hamas official Taher al-Nunu said the militant group was 'ready and serious regarding reaching an agreement', adding that the group is 'ready to accept any initiative that clearly leads to the complete end to the war'. A Hamas delegation is expected to meet Egyptian and Qatari mediators in Cairo on Wednesday to discuss the proposal, according to an Egyptian official. Throughout the nearly 21-month war, ceasefire talks have repeatedly faltered over whether the war should end as part of a deal. Hamas has said it is willing to free the remaining 50 hostages, less then half of whom are said to be alive, in exchange for a complete Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and an end to the war. I hope, for the good of the Middle East, that Hamas takes this Deal, because it will not get better — IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE Israel says it will only agree to end the war if Hamas surrenders, disarms and exiles itself, something the group refuses to do. An Israeli official said the latest proposal calls for a 60-day deal that would include a partial Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and a surge in humanitarian aid to the territory. The mediators and the US would provide assurances about talks on an end to the war, but Israel is not committing to that as part of the latest proposal, the official said. It was not clear how many hostages would be freed as part of the agreement, but previous proposals have called for the release of about 10. Israel has yet to publicly comment on Mr Trump's announcement. On Monday, he is set to host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for talks at the White House, days after Ron Dermer, a senior Netanyahu adviser, held discussions with senior US officials about Gaza, Iran and other matters. On Tuesday, Trump wrote on social media that Israel had 'agreed to the necessary conditions to finalize the 60 Day CEASEFIRE, during which time we will work with all parties to end the War'. 'I hope, for the good of the Middle East, that Hamas takes this Deal, because it will not get better — IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE.'

"While the situation remains extremely volatile, I really hope that the killing can now stop and that the unimaginable, brutal situation can end," he added.
