We regret to inform you that Trump has been wanging on about sharks again – 11 killer takedowns
Whatever else you can say about Donald Trump, and let’s face it – you can say a lot about Donald Trump, he’s nothing if not consistent.
He consistently lies. He consistently threatens his political opponents. And he consistently returns to a few very odd favourite topics, such as wind turbines, his own wealth, and sharks.
For example, he’s considered whether he would rather be eaten by a shark or electrocuted by the powerful battery of a sinking boat – as you do. Spoiler alert – he chose electrocution.

On Tuesday, during a rally in Wisconsin, he veered off on a tangent about Lake Michigan and its lack of sharks.
Here’s how that sounded.

Two words …stable genius. It was yet another gift to the Biden-Harris campaign.

His fear of sharks once again gets woven into a story, and this one has nothing to do with EVs. But the funny part of this pander to WI is saying he’d rather live on a lake than the ocean when he has lived on the east coast his entire life. https://t.co/v0MhGGyYZn

I like presidents who don’t constantly get distracted by their fear of sharks while giving speeches in inland states. https://t.co/fDIFFzAEoQ

“I saw this documentary, Jaws The Revenge. True story, this woman’s son was killed by the same shark her husband killed, and she knows that to get away from the shark she’ll have to leave town. It’s all true. That’s what you have to do if you don’t have Secret Service.” https://t.co/TRuDYJzPWa

This shark riff is just his latest defense mechanism when he’s lost, he uses it like a buffer until he feels safe to continue. IMHO

We can’t fault this idea.
It would be great if @CNN played the theme from "Jaws" as its lead into the start of the June 27 debate & totally freak out bonkers Trump …
