what is this task? - surely not MAGA, because he's not going to be doing that anytime soon

Making himself and his billionaire cult even richer whilst screwing over anyone with half a brain.

Disruptor is his way of saying he's doing this shit job on purpose, just so he can call him a disruptor and make it sound like it's what the country and world needs, because it's gone all woke 

Probably

To break the continuity. We were heading for a Brave New World type hell where everyone had to follow the mantra without question and thinking for ones self either prohibited or medicated against. You can already see how far this has gone with an NUT brainwashed majority physically unable to see or accept any other viewpoint. The new puritans. They live amongst us on here.

Eradicating wokery and political correctness the first steps.

Yeah, can't wait until we can get back to calling people derogatory names, crowbar back inherent workplace sexism and allow free speech actually means 'saying whatever I bloody well want, so there'

Let's make a meritocracy based on Boltys idea where, all views are valid, but mine and my ilk more so.

The irony is eye scratchingly obvious to anyone with half a braincell.

Those hip pocket nerves usually get a mention.

That’s what it was all about once upon a time.

Now it’s all to do with people not liking a bit of cultural difference.

Unless I've misunderstood what I've just read. Our friend has applied a 100% tariff on films made outside the US and has employed Sylvester Stallone as a special envoy.

He's done this as an executive order using emergency powers as he thinks it's a national security threat or something? 

And he's reopening Alcatraz. 

Can’t wait for Dunkirk being re made in the Florida Keys.

It's no longer about hip pocket nerves apparently, it's all about a great re-set, that will change the world forever...... 

....to be fair, I think Trump could change the world forever, as the US could easily become a shadow of its former self by the time he leaves office, unless he's reigned in

It gets tiresome. He's doing the challenging stuff early in his term. Like Labour have tried to do in shitting on pensioners. Got to love those socialist principles.

Start taking about hip pocket nerves half way through his term. Then watch what happens in 2028 and which way the approval ratings go.

The impatience of youth. Twas ever so.

I'm waiting for his attention to turn to vengeance against his persecutors. Much enjoyment yet to come.

Yeah, but as long as George Clooney is pissed off though, eh ?

Don't see what the problem is with Alcatraz idea.

If they need more prison space, why not?

Got to go somewhere. 

Alcatraz is tiny. I was just reading that while it was open it had 336 cells.

Given the amount of overcrowding in US prisons - it's an irrelevance. It's the symbolism that's important to DT. 

If he'd announced a review into overcrowding in US prisons - that would have made sense. But this plan is just an ego stroke.

it's like saying re-open Ellis Island to help with immigration

it's a tourist spot now

it was shut down for a reason, it's too expensive to run, because it's on a rock in the sea

Yeah that was my thinking. They must make a fortune off visitors to Alcatraz Island? 

Mind you - maybe prison populations won't be a problem once if ship everyone off to Rwanda.

It's a very daft idea, for many reasons, he's just playing to his audience again, as usual. The required refurb would cost an absolute fortune. It'd just be quicker and cheaper to build something new. I'd be very surprised if it was ever made into a functioning prison again

Also, it's a major tourist attraction (apparently over 1M people per year visit it), so all that tourism money would be lost, so I'm not sure the good people of San Francisco would be up for it either

I read earlier they used to just dump all the shit/piss into the sea, as it has no main sewer system - so either they'd go back to lobbing all the cack back into the sea, or they would have to "boat" it away from the island to a facility somewhere.

The cells are also no longer "regulation" size apparently, not that it'd bother me if criminals have to live in a cell that's too small, but I'm sure somebody would have something to say about it.

Can see that.

Equally, it helps with security. 

He may argue the savings on immigration costs would pay for it, but ultimately, that's a decision for the relevant department. 

If it has been "developed" previously, then it's a brown field site- which may go down well with his opponents! :)

I suppose it's similar to using a prison ship.

It's performative bullshit
