Trump’s Shark-Phobia Gets the Best of Him During Meandering Rally Rant
Former President Donald Trump has a storied history when it comes to his hatred of sharks—and it was something he wanted to touch on during his Sunday rally in Las Vegas.
While rambling about electric cars and trucks, Trump reminded the crowd that “they” want to make all boats electric too, an apparent reference to Democratic politicians who have expressed no such desire, at least publicly. Trump cited a recent conversation he had with a South Carolina boat salesman as the source for the claim.
The idea of an electric boat tilled the soil for an obvious hypothetical to pop-up in Trump’s mind: “What would happen if the boat sank?” he posed to the businessman in his recounting.
