This is standard procedure for him. Something gives him an idea, he assumes that it is pure genius and he immediately runs with it without even thinking it through or at least educating himself on the subject first to see if it is actually a good idea or not.
This is him just moments before he famously suggested on a national press conference that shining UV light or injecting disinfectant into people’s bodies could be a treatment to COVID:

so donvict watches public television. huh. the very same public television he wants to cut funding to…
and for entertainment purposes, not just to find ‘biased’ news reports to whine about in an overnight all-caps twitter tantrum.
He probably just didn’t know how to change the channel back to Newsmax.
He was mindlessly flicking through the channels until one seemed interesting.
I doubt his interest extends that far.

If it was just him, it wouldn’t be that bad. Kinda like Bush Jr. The problem is that he surrounds himself with yes-men. I’m sure you’ve seen meetings with him and his orbit. He says something, stupid as hell, and his cult claps, stands, cheers and/or laughs like it’s worthy of a Nobel. It’s seriously deranged behavior. It’s a cult. Except he’s just grandpa sundowner everyone agrees with to get in his good graces, or a child spouting nonsense while the parents just go “that’s nice dear” absent-mindedly. He’s so easy to fluff.
I feel we also devalue Bush jr. for the way he chose to speak to people. I feel you could call Bush a smart man, even politically savy, while still talking like a layman. However, Trump is genuinely dumb like his speech implies, and people just roll with it.

No.

I used to think that Trump was just dumb. But, recently I’ve become convinced that he’s actually able to seem smarter than he actually is. Meaning, he appears to have an IQ of maybe 90, but he’s faking it because he’s actually closer to 80. His various coping mechanisms allow him to seem smarter than he is, but that “smarter than he is” still doesn’t bring him up to average.
He was dumb but playing dumber. I can’t think of many other examples of people like that except Joe Rogan.
Yeah, that I can get behind. His Texan shtick was an obvious act. But, even without that, I don’t think he had an IQ of 100. Like most politicians he had good emotional intelligence, and an ability to connect with people. Still, it was clear that even pretty basic concepts were a stretch for him.
There was a Histioriometry test done, and the journal Political Psychology estimated around a 119 for ol’ W.
And Trump weighs 224 lbs with 4.8% body fat.
I’m sure there was another similar incident in the last few months when some “policy” came out of the blue, and someone connected it to something else that had just recently been on TV. But, finding something like that is nearly impossible. What do you search for, “crazy policy ideas, Trump, 2025” There are just mountains of BS to sift through.
Been commenting about this for YEARS! Could never find that part of the video and here you have a pic!
He likes to free style
Like a spoiled 4 year old in so many ways…
Yep, I’ve been saying “he isn’t just a narcissist, he’s narcissistic in the way a 5-year-old would be”.
So… You take a prison which:
- Generates $60M yearly from being currently a museum;
- Needs serious rebuilding and modernization to even function at all;
- Needs a way to be supplied with safe water, plus constant deliveries of all other necessities, likely by boat.
And you get:
- A prison which generates little to no revenue, while needing funds to be kept functioning.
- Only has its name and somber history going in its favor, because “prisoners should be afraid of the historic haunted prison”.
Yes. Brilliant idea, truly a Trump deal in all its glory, as we get to see how the casino-bankrupter’s mind works. Hopefully by the time the prison is ready Trump and his cronies get to be the first “tenants”. And whoever comes next declares the prison closed again and leaves them rotting there.
I bet he plans on charging rent to the prisoners at California rates or some bullshit
Beachside property after all. Rockside.
Actually would be a cool idea, make there a combined prison-museum with luxury cells like the one Brejvik spends his time in. If it goes together with a prison reform to in general make American prisons more like Norwegian ones, would be cool.
I mean, inmates shouldn’t pay for that, I just caught a thought.
It’s more interesting after all, inmates can talk to tourists and not feel too isolated, but live in more comfortable conditions than their historical colleagues, and you still have a profitable museum.
Sort of a prison entertainment park. On an island. One can even have a small computing history museum with an IRIX machine there, next to a few dinosaur pics.
You can spend the night in a cell in Alcatraz already. I did it as a little scout. I would absolutely not call it luxury lol.
Yes…?
It was literally NEVER about the money being spent by the government. Anyone who actually believed that is by dictionary definition, dumb.
No it is what they said and they are lying. You confused fooled with dumb, anyone can be fooled such as anyone that thought Biden would do environmental issues and stop the destruction of our race etc
Somebody needs to just wave something shiny in front of him to distract him from this stupid idea.
Next up on truth social:
ONE OF MY SUBORDINATES JINGLED HIS KEYS IN FRONT OF ME FOR HOURS. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS MUCH ENJOYMENT IN MY LIFE.
MAKE JINGLING KEYS GREAT AGAIN!
MJKGA!
An put a tariff on movies so he doesn’t do it again! Oh, wait…

But it is a typical Trump deal, selling vibes of “doing it the rough old way, with guns and hookers and lead paint and gasoline that makes your windows rainbow-colored”.
That’s what he sells. His fans know it’s not achievable, they want a mess sufficient for something better to evolve, and vibes for them signify that mess. It’s a bit like Shadow ideology in Babylon V.
Nobody in the trump regime is ever going to prison because you wont elect me president…I, the only candidate who would actually guillotine traitors, imprison their cucks, and take all the wealth from criminally active billionaires and their labbyists, and cap wealth accumulation.
At this point you’re gonna have to do that first, and then I’ll elect you after, because we can’t trust any words spoken on the campaign trail by anyone anymore.
At the very least, you cant elect anyone who is wealthy.
Please get this man addicted to Star Trek: The Next Generation.
“I am hereby placing a 100% TARIFF on transport fees for any Q visiting from the Q Continuum. As you know, one of them turned me literally orange, ‘as a joke’. If this dangerous criminal is found in Federation space again, I have given out orders to immediately apprehend the Q responsible and hold him in Alcatraz Prison. The Q will then be ransomed back to the bloodthirsty murderers of the Q Continuum.”
I bet tinyhands would think Big-ears are the good guys
He would emulate the protagonist Ferengi race… even more than he does now.
He would deport Geordi, Whorf and Data for not being white. And probably O’Brian for being Irish.
He’d keep Guinan around?
Trump would send Guinan back home, where she would be immediately assimilated.
What if she used her Q-fightin’ powers
Ha ha irish being white! Whats next, italians? Ha ha ho ho
Whorf
I think I think i read that fanfic back in the 90s… co-starring Long-Luc Dickhard and Chestly Crushher?
Lieutenant Commander Dat Ass
That man has dementia.
The good thing about this is that everyone who saw the rock movie knows the timing for the boiler room doors so they can easily escape
Stop letting this man watch television.
“Old man yells at cloud” isn’t the issue, “Old man can order airstrike on cloud” is.
*Nuke a hurricane
Let him watch all the television he wants. Stop letting him interact with people and things.
Let him interact with people and things, but in a retirement home where he belongs.
No I’m thinking a bunker with 9 foot thick concrete walls, no door, a 1.5 inch diameter hole for air and McDonald’s french fries, a television and one of those brown blankets they wrap you in when your house burns down. And maybe if you put me in a good enough mood I wouldn’t turn a garden hose down the air shaft.

THE FLETCHER MEMORIAL, HOME FOR INCURABLE TYRANTS AND KINGS
The only final solution I support.
Sundowning…
watches a movie about the most famous prison escape ever
thinks it would be good to open said prison
which is not based on real events but dumnald is so stupid he cannot tell the difference
When we were a more serious Nation, in times past, we did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals
I don’t know, SOAD radicalized me when I was a teenager and I would say that this is bullshit from a criminological point of view.
He doesn’t want it rebuilt or modernized in any way. The more medieval the better. A spot to dump undesirables and forget them.
There’s just no way he watches PBS documentaries
Not a documentary.
There’s just no way he watches PBS
documentariesFtfy
It’s a Clint Eastwood movie, not a documentary.
Nah he fell asleep watching The Rock, that’s more his style.
I genuinely want somebody who thinks this is a good idea to explain to me why this is better than building a new maximum security prison on the mainland.
The last thing that America needs is another jail. They have more jails and inmates than any other country on the planet. Also it would cost much more to refurbish Alcatraz than it would to build a new jail. The orange rapist is an idiot.
We all know that he doesn’t watch PBS. Too educational.
Not to mention he just cut funding for it
