Aren't films like this always showing somewhere?

Is he reopening Jurassic Park? 🤭
He really is a profoundly stupid man. Everyone who supports him should be ashamed of themselves.
His supporters have been so crippled by centuries of inbreeding they see him as their genius messiah, literally.

He wasn't watching PBS... so someone else told him to do it after watching it. Probably same person trying to find more reasons to defund PBS.
See, I don't know. He's been posting about cutting funding, so I could see him turning it on expecting to see a bunch of queers making out with ostriches or whatever the fuck he thinks goes on at PBS but instead got an idea. Which is kind of sweet, if you think about it. That's so PBS, they can't help but educate even if the viewer is a fascist penis wrinkle.
Ikr, him watching pbs would be a good onion though

Has he been there? Like it's fuckin old. And small. Like really small. I don't know if he can legally do that either. Since it's a state park.
Well yes but it has a cool sounding name
Simple solution.
Rename another prison alcatraz and tell Trump it's up and running.

Stop letting this man watch television.
Let him watch all the television he wants. Stop letting him interact with people and things.
Let him interact with people and things, but in a retirement home where he belongs.

I propose a movie about dinosaurs released in San Diego.
Or the movie about "the bus that couldn't stop"
Please get this man addicted to Star Trek: The Next Generation.
He would deport Geordi, Whorf and Data for not being white. And probably O'Brian for being Irish.
Ha ha irish being white! Whats next, italians? Ha ha ho ho
Whorf

Sundowning…
The last thing that America needs is another jail. They have more jails and inmates than any other country on the planet. Also it would cost much more to refurbish Alcatraz than it would to build a new jail. The orange rapist is an idiot.
The same PBS he wants to cut ahahaha
Wasn't that place at least as famous for successful escapes as it was for being a tough and scary place of punishment? If you're whole bag is turning back the clock to a time you thought was tougher, more punitive and therefore somehow more effective at deterrence and your decisions are more cultural than rational; shouldn't you pick somewhere not famous specifically for failing at it's entire purpose of existence?
That man has dementia.
