Trump Goes on ‘Absolutely Bizarre’ Rant About Sharks and Electric Boats
Critics said the repeated shark-and-boat anecdote showed confusion as they mocked Trump online and cited gas prices, tariffs and other grievances.
- Speaking Thursday evening at a dinner for more than 100 hunters and anglers, President Donald Trump invoked his hypothetical scenario about choosing between electrocution in an electric boat or swimming with sharks.
- Trump suggested on Thursday he brings up the "sharks versus electrocution" rant mainly for entertainment, noting he frequently used the story during his campaign to drive the press crazy.
- As the Boat Owners Association of the United States noted, electrocution risk is commonly caused by "faulty wiring and equipment on boats or docks," affecting gas-powered vessels as well.
- Online critics, including commentator Tom Nichols, mocked the President for repeating the anecdote, with some suggesting the 80-year-old leader is obsessed with the same issues for years.
- In a 2011 interview with In Touch Weekly, Stormy Daniels claimed Trump is "obsessed" with sharks, alleging he told her, "I donate to all these charities and I would never donate to any charity that helps sharks.
