In some ways, I am very tired about opening up my news websites each day only to have headlines about Donald Trump on the front page above the fold so to speak. That has been going on since Trump was sworn in to the presidency on January 20, 2025. If Trump didn’t do something that deserved headlines, he would do or say something outlandish to preserve his spot on the front page.

Now a lot of it is born of his white superiority complex and white nationalism. When Trump’s measures on immigration, visas and birthright citizenship are taken together, they clearly form a policy of preventing the U.S. from becoming a minority majority country. I can hear the pigs from the novel “1984” saying, ‘White South Afrikaners good, Somalis bad.’

In 2024-2025, the U.S. population grew by .5%, the lowest rate in several years. Of course Trump had better watch out or he will put the U.S. on the same demographic trend as Japan whose restrictive immigration policies have led to population decline, which will have negative impacts on the Japanese economy for generations to come. Apparently Trump doesn’t care if everything is going to “hell in a hand basket” all around him as long as it is white people in control.

And then there is Trump’s plan to bring Alcatraz back into service as a federal prison like the U.S. Navy bringing in World War I battleships back into service, outdated technology and all.

Trump wants $152 million to rebuild and reopen Alcatraz as a secure prison. Trump loves to spend federal funds, especially since he doesn't contribute a dime to federal coffers. He uses the federal tax system to pay for all of his private sector bankruptcies. He would probably rename it Trump Island out of vanity.
