As long as plans include a presidential suite. This would be a great place to detain members of the administration while they are awaiting trial and after sentencing. Like when Iceland sentenced their financial criminals to an island prison to keep them away from good people.

Can someone have Sean Connery tell him “For the last time , It’s just a bloody movie”. Oh he’s dead? Maybe Ed Harris can tell him. I don’t think he’d believe Nick Cage.
