Trump's Insanity

President Trump Truth Social post July 1, 2025 11:30 AM:

“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, and then, it happened.

I saw a picture of ALCATRAZ looking so foreboding, and 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!’ 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 likes to call opponents and critics “lunatics. He’s obviously projecting.

Because he wasn’t president 6 months ago. Not that he or any of his cult can do the math.

and those that are there are not large or aggressive.

The water is cold however. That is what kept most people from attempting to escape from Alcatraz.

The currents are also strong.

But Donny Dumfuck has a real fear of sharks. and batteries. I can't imaging what his childhood was like.

3. Persecuting immigrants is extremely popular with Trump's base, his MAGA supporters are crying out for it.

The rough arrest, cruel incarceration and illegal deportation of (mostly) dark-skinned hispanic immigrants is the one thing his followers want more than anything else; they literally hunger for it, and Trump is satisfying their bloodlust. Never underestimate the demagogic power of racism, nativism and xenophobia in America. I used to foolishly believe this country had evolved beyond it, but I was wrong.
