Trump Jr. floated the idea of turning Alcatraz back into a prison, but it seemed he was making one of his attempted jokes on social media.

The President said he wants to restore the legendary island prison, which was closed decades ago and converted into a tourist attraction, to push back against “radicalized judges.”

Trump's push to reopen Alcatraz as a maximum-security prison has triggered backlash over the steep financial and logistical challenges the project would face.
