Reopening Alcatraz: A perfect symbol for the MAGA Movement

President Trump made headlines recently for suggesting that Alcatraz, the infamous prison in San Francisco Bay, should be reopened to house the worst criminal offenders in America. It is a notion that boggles the minds of liberals – as everything Trump says and does tends to – but it would be a magnificent, if mostly symbolic, achievement, and one entirely in harmony with many of the central themes in the MAGA movement.

Alcatraz was, in its heyday, a legendary and forbidding prison fortress.
