"I said, 'We're going to look into renovating and rebuilding the famous ALCATRAZ Prison sitting high on the Bay, surrounded by sharks. What a symbol it is, and will be!'," Trump continued. "Conceptual work started six months ago, and various prison development firms are looking at doing it with us. Still a little early, but lots of promise!"
Trump's post about the hypothetical new version of the infamous prison comes months after he initially floated the idea of reopening the prison.

In May, the president first posted the idea that he wanted to reopen the prison that held the likes of Al Capone, Whitey Bulger, Machine Gun Kelly and several others.
"For too long, America has been plagued by vicious, violent, and repeat Criminal Offenders, the dregs of society, who will never contribute anything other than Misery and Suffering," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "When we were a more serious Nation, in times past, we did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals, and keep them far away from anyone they could harm. That's the way it's supposed to be."

'That is why, today,' he said, 'I am directing the Bureau of Prisons, together with the Department of Justice, FBI, and Homeland Security, to reopen a substantially enlarged and rebuilt ALCATRAZ, to house America's most ruthless and violent Offenders.'
It was also suspected that Trump had gotten the idea after watching the Clint Eastwood flick Escape from Alcatraz, which aired around the same time as the posts.
According to WLRN-TV's schedule, the movie aired at 9 p.m. EDT and 11 a.m.
Both times, Trump was at Mar-A-Lago in
Palm Beach, Florida,
according to the president's official schedule.

According to
POTUS Tracker
, the president arrived at Mar-A-Lago at approximately 12:54 p.m. EDT and did not leave for the rest of the day. He then traveled to Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach and arrived back at Mar-A-Lago at approximately 12:16 p.m.
It's impossible to know whether or not Trump was actually watching the film at the time, but that did not stop the internet from running wild. "Guess what was on TV in South
Florida
on Saturday night? The 1979 Clint Eastwood film 'Escape from Alcatraz.' The film aired on WLRN TV, a public station that serves all of South Florida, including West Palm Beach," one user said.
"Thank you. This clown saw the movie and came to work with this idea and the cowardly dumbass mindless followers and the ones on here are defending this. It is no deterrent," another user wrote. Alcatraz Island is now a major tourist site that is operate by the National Park Service and is a designated National Historic Landmark.

Donald Trump announces Vietnam trade deal with terrible terms for Asian nation
President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to announce a trade deal with the 'Socialist Republic of Vietnam.' "It is my Great Honor to announce that I have just made a Trade Deal with the Socialist Republic of Vietnam after speaking with To Lam, the Highly Respected General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam," Trump wrote . Vietnam already has a 46 percent tariff rate with the U.S., prior to the deal. According to Trump's announcement, "Vietnam will pay the United States a 20% Tariff on any and all goods sent into our Territory, and a 40% Tariff on any Transshipping."

"In return, Vietnam will do something that they have never done before, give the United States of America TOTAL ACCESS to their Markets for Trade," Trump continued. "In other words, they will 'OPEN THEIR MARKET TO THE UNITED STATES,' meaning that, we will be able to sell our product into Vietnam at ZERO Tariff." He added that he thinks SUVs 'will be a wonderful addition to the various product lines within Vietnam.' Vietnam is an important manufacturing hub for America. According to the U.S. Trade Representative , the total value of U.S. goods imports from Vietnam was over $136 billion in 2024, while the U.S. goods exports to Vietnam were just over $13 billion. The U.S. goods trade deficit, or the difference between the value of goods imported into the United States and the value of goods exported from the United States, with Vietnam was over $123 billion, reports The Hill. Negotiations with Vietnam's General Secretary Tô Lâm took place last week with the goal of avoiding the reimposition of a 46 percent tariff on Vietnam. The original tariff was originally levied due to Vietnam's large trade surplus with America. According to Reuters, during those negotiations last week the U.S. presented a list of tough trade demands, including urging Vietnam to reduce the use of Chinese technology in products exported to the U.S. Vietnam's exports have hit a post-pandemic high in recent years. In response to U.S. pressure, Vietnam is cracking down on illegal trans-shipment of Chinese goods and has signaled its willingness to lower non-tariff barriers and increase imports of U.S. products such as planes, agricultural goods, and energy - though it remains unclear if any of these will be a part of the final deal that Trump just announced. Trump said he reached the agreement after speaking with Vietnamese General Secretary To Lam, which he said was an 'absolute pleasure.'

Benjamin Netanyahu vows ‘there will be no Hamas' in post-war Gaza
Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that 'there will be no Hamas' in post-war Gaza. US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Israel had agreed on terms for a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza and urged Hamas to accept the deal before conditions worsen. The US leader has been increasing pressure on the Israeli government and Hamas to broker a ceasefire and hostage agreement, and bring about an end to the war. Hamas said in a brief statement on Wednesday that it had received a proposal from the mediators and was holding talks with them to 'bridge gaps' to return to the negotiating table to try to reach a ceasefire agreement. Mr Trump said the 60-day period would be used to work toward ending the war, something Israel says it will not accept until Hamas is defeated. He said that a deal might come together as soon as next week. But Hamas' response, which emphasised its demand that the war end, raised questions about whether the latest offer could materialise into an actual pause in fighting. Hamas official Taher al-Nunu said that the militant group was 'ready and serious regarding reaching an agreement'. He said Hamas was 'ready to accept any initiative that clearly leads to the complete end to the war'. A Hamas delegation is expected to meet Egyptian and Qatari mediators in Cairo on Wednesday to discuss the proposal, according to an Egyptian official.

Decision to defer alcohol labelling in coming days as tariff deadline looms
A decision to defer warning labels on alcohol will be made later this week amid concerns about global trade, Tánaiste Simon Harris has confirmed. However, there has been some pushback to the plan, with one Government source suggesting that the move had very little to do with trade in the first place. The Government Trade Forum met on Wednesday at Government Buildings to discuss the tariffs situation a week out from US President Donald Trump's 90-day pause coming to an end. In May 2023, Stephen Donnelly, the former health minister, signed the Public Health (Alcohol) (Labelling) Regulations 2023. It was envisaged that the law would ensure that the labels of alcohol products would state the calorie content and grams of alcohol in the product. They would warn about the risk of consuming alcohol when pregnant and about the risk of liver disease and fatal cancers from alcohol consumption. It was due to come into effect in May 2026 following a three-year lead-in time. However, there have been rumblings in recent weeks that the plans would be shelved. Speaking at Government Buildings on Wednesday, the Tánaiste confirmed a decision to defer them will be made in the coming days. He said: 'This issue came up quite a lot at the trade forum as well. 'I'm very proud of the progress we've made as a country on public health and very proud of the Public Health Act. I would have played a part in the passage of that legislation when I was Minister for Health. 'I think there's a legitimate issue in relation to the timing, in relation to changing the labels on alcohol bottles. 'What we don't want to do for a sector that's already quite challenged and already experiencing significant disruption as a result of the trade environment, is impose, at this time, a further trade barrier or a potential trade barrier. 'I'm very much of the view that we need to defer the implementation. It will be a matter for the Minister for Health [Jennifer Carroll MacNeill] and we'll work closely together on this to decide a timeline in relation to that, but I expect we'll be able to bring clarity to this in the coming days.' However, there has been some pushback in Government over the decision to defer the labelling, with one senior source calling it 'bullsh*t'. They argued that the only products that need to be labelled are those sold on the Irish market and that labelling has 'nothing to do with trade'. Elsewhere, the Tánaiste stated that a week away from the tariff deadline, '10 per cent seems to be the baseline' and that the EU will be seeking to 'maximise the number of sectors where there is zero for zero'. He said: 'You can only judge President Trump on what he's done and in the only agreements that President Trump has reached so far, tariffs have been embedded. 'In fact, at the moment, the choice isn't between 10 per cent and zero. Remember, this day next week (Wednesday), 10 per cent is due to rise to 50 per cent if there isn't either an extension or an agreement. 'The European Union and Ireland want zero tariffs. We don't believe in tariffs. We believe they're not a good idea. 'But we also have to, obviously, negotiate a way forward here.'
