Shark Week is coming and Stormy Daniels has mentioned in 2011 Trump’s fascination for not only that week but the cruel shark attacks past and present. His failure to be cast as a POTUS in one of the Sharknado movies likely remains a subtext.
Now that Trump’s shtick repeats itself in his rally speeches, we at least know for sure his decision-making hasn’t been affected since he left the presidency and became a convicted felon. In a choice between a sinking electric boat and being eaten by sharks. he would choose electrocution. Should this be a June 27 debate question? C’mon Jake Tapper— no guts no glory.
Trump has told the electrocution-or-shark story at least once before, at a rally in Iowa last October. Stormy Daniels, the adult-film actress who received $130,000 in hush money to keep quiet about her sexual encounter with Trump — a payment that led to the former president’s conviction on 34 felony charges — has said that Trump is “obsessed with sharks, terrified of sharks.” Way back in 2013, he declared on Twitter: “Sharks are last on my list — other than perhaps the losers and haters of the World!”
The White House press corps would be in wolf pack mode if Biden were in the middle of a speech and suddenly veered into gibberish about boats and sharks. There would be front-page stories questioning whether the president, at 81, was suffering from dementia; and the op-ed pages would be filled with thumb-suckers about whether Vice President Harris and the Cabinet should invoke the 25th Amendment. House Republicans would already have scheduled hearings on Biden’s mental condition and demanded he take a cognitive test.

The person speaking appears to be jumping rapidly between unrelated ideas and seems to be fixated on a hypothetical and somewhat fantastical scenario involving a sinking boat, a powerful battery, and a shark. This stream-of-consciousness style, combined with the focus on unlikely events and a seeming lack of coherence, might suggest that the person is not entirely well-adjusted or is possibly experiencing a heightened state of anxiety or distress. The speech also contains elements of paranoia and a disjointed narrative, which could indicate some underlying issues with their thought processes or communication style.
Trump, who has frequently attacked electric vehicles, on Sunday complained that electric boats are so heavy they are prone to sinking ― but went off on several tangents as he spoke, including one about sharks.
Then, he wondered if it was better to be on a sinking electric boat or in the water with a shark.
“Do I get electrocuted if the boat is sinking, water goes over the battery, the boat is sinking, do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted, or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted?” he asked.
Trump was clear on which he would choose.
