President Trump says he is directing the Bureau of Prisons to reopen and enlarge Alcatraz, the infamous jail located on an island in the San Francisco Bay. The prison has been closed for over 60 years and is a popular tourist spot.
Meanwhile, the White House has posted an AI image of Trump depicted as the pope, prompting outrage. The New York State Catholic Conference blasted the president, saying, “We just buried our beloved Pope Francis and the cardinals are about to enter a solemn conclave to elect a new successor of St. Peter. Do not mock us.”
In more Trump news, the U.S. Army confirmed there will be a large military parade in Washington on his birth on June 14th which is also the Army’s 250th anniversary. Some 6,600 soldiers are expected to take part, along with 150 military vehicles and 50 military aircraft.
On Sunday, Trump also announced a new 100% tariff on foreign-made films, claiming that they pose a “National Security threat.” The announcement came as a surprise to Hollywood studios.
