    1. „Obviously this is a well-conceived plan by a very stable genius.“

      “How will you use it? How did you come up with the idea?” a reporter [asked](https://x.com/Acyn/status/1919453817592303945) the president on Monday.

      “Well, I guess I was supposed to be a moviemaker. We’re talking—we started with the moviemaking, and it will end,” Trump [replied](https://x.com/Acyn/status/1919453817592303945). “It represents something very strong, very powerful, in terms of law and order. Our country needs law and order. Alcatraz is, I would say, the ultimate, right? Alcatraz, Sing Sing, and Alcatraz, the movies.

      “But uh, it’s right now a museum, believe it or not. Lotta people go there. It housed the most violent criminals in the world, and nobody ever escaped. One person almost got there, but they, as you know the story, they found his clothing rather badly ripped up, and uh, it was a lot of shark bites, a lot of problems. Nobody’s ever escaped from Alcatraz, and just represented something strong having to do with law and order; we need law and order in this country.”

      „This is certainly not the first time the president has had trouble answering questions. Just last week, when asked about his administration’s [punitive measures](https://newrepublic.com/post/194760/trump-harvard-university-tax-exempt-status) against Harvard University, Trump began ranting about [fictional riots](https://newrepublic.com/post/194691/donald-trump-invents-protest-supporting-war-harvard) of Trump supporters in Harlem.“

      Something else is up.

      While we are fixated over this ridiculous Trump idea, something more sinister is not getting enough attention.

      Cognitive decline is natural ageing. Trumpy has dementia, things are deteriorating fast.

      Trump’s Alcatraz pitch sounds less like policy and more like a prison break from reality.

    5. Didntlikedefaultname on

      I’m so sick of this being referred to like it’s a new phenomenon. Cognitive decline? No shit he’s been spewing word salad for at minimum the last decade and it gets increasingly incoherent and unhinged

    6. Conservative sub not pleased with either this or the 100% tariffs on foreign films. But it can’t be that he’s just a fucking idiot. No, not at all

      Decline? No- decline was 5 years ago. This is what happens after the decline has declined as far as it can decline.

      Fanta Führer speaks as he always does, circling the toilet drain of ideas and wondering where he is.

    9. I don’t understand the point. ADX Florence sounds like a nightmare. Worse than Alcatraz ever was. I would rather get the death penalty than spend life there.

      >But uh, it’s right now a museum, believe it or not.

      Oh my god, he literally *just learned* that Alcatraz is now a museum, didn’t he?

      *“stwutting j-joe!!!“*

      Get real. Joe had a non-mental stutter since he was a toddler. Not every manifestation of a variation is a symptom of a disease, and not all symptoms point to the same disease. They teach this in baby bio. Syphilis can present as almost anything, so it’s important to get a blood test to confirm. You may even need another blood test. Humble yourself before the complexities of biochemistry as everything isn’t what it seems.

      Trump clearly has marked symptoms of dementia and cognitive decline since 2023, yet even as someone who’s comfortable diagnosing mental illnesses, I can’t safely diagnose him; although I can say there is a temporal difference that wasn’t there before.

    12. Popculturemofo on

      More and more I’m convinced his policy decisions are based on whatever he read or saw and he goes all in based on that.

      Let’s just hope this windbag doesn’t watch any of the Marvel movies and starts spending billions of dollars looking for people with super powers.

    13. espresso_martini__ on

      He’s been in decline for few years now. He’s fucking old and this happens to some old people.

    14. “But uh, it’s right now a museum, believe it or not. He says this like he’s the only person in the world that knows this secret.

    15. He’s been exhibiting signs of dementia for years. The media has done a lot of sane washing to appear neutral and appease this tyrant.

    16. Alcatraz was a popular word in the 1970’s. That’s why Trump likes it. He’s a stupid man.

    17. Listening to him describe how he should have been a movie maker when asked about this, my first thought was that he’d definitely just watched a movie about Alcatraz. Per Midas touch, the Clint Eastwood film „Escape from Alcatraz“ was being broadcast in South Florida the night before he started talking about this.

      America is being run by a mostly senile, vindictive, narcist grandpa. He should be in a home where he can watch his shows and have his silly ideas without the rest of the world having to care.

    18. We’ve been saying „Cognitive Decline???“ for the last 10 years like it is new information.

    19. It’s kinda amusing to poke fun at his stupidity, but then I think about all the people who still support him, and it isn’t quite as much fun.

    20. FinancialArmadillo93 on

      So DOGE is firing vets and long-time public servants to „save money“ and Trump has pulled an idea out his ass after watching „Escape from Alcatraz“ that will easily cost billions, if not tens of billions despite dozens of mega-security prisons already in operation in the U.S. — and his minions are lining up on social media calling it genius.

    21. teddytwelvetoes on

      lol he was an incoherent, veal-brained trust fund dipshit back in 2016 the first time he ran

    22. Angry-Dragon-1331 on

      Where the fuck was this coverage when they were tearing into Biden for stumbling over a word or two?

    23. Timely-Ad-4109 on

      I don’t know what the hell that was he was saying but a convicted felon going on and on about law and order is next level gaslighting.

    24. Sure, but Biden had his mouth open for 10 seconds at a debate and there was a national furor. It’s funny how that only happens if a Dem is in charge. They didn’t do shit when clearly Reagan also was having issues.

    25. At least Biden didn’t destroy the global economy during any of his senior moments.

    26. Republicans never cared about Biden’s age/decline because if they did they would’ve elected a young educated woman as our president. Instead, they were more worried about owning the libs than actually doing something positive for this country. It’s weird, now that this asshole is declining you don’t hear anything about his age from the republicans. But keep driving our country into the ground because it’s too hard for you to admit you fucked us.

    27. Now it’s cognitive decline? He’s been a complete fucking imbecile his whole life, but especially since 2015.

    28. OldTimeyWizard on

      He spews word salad every single day.

      The media just keeps sanewashing him and only quoting specific phrases and sentences to hide the fact, but if you listen to Trump try to string 3+ sentences together and you’ll find that he *always* devolves into word salad.

    29. Habitualflagellant14 on

      Anyone else notice him mentioning sharks. He’s got a thing about them.

    30. drink_up_bud on

      Trump is barely maintaining any form of mental focus and grip on reality. The problem with people like Trump is that they have talked stupid for so long that when slip into a demented state it is hard to tell. Trump’s decline is happening faster then expected. Unfortunately, he is surrounded by the most evil executive that the American government has ever seen.

    31. What the actual fuck was that? Someone needs to get grandpa to bed, he’s talking nonsense
