At a Rose Garden event where President Donald Trump announced executive orders tied to hunting and fishing, he recalled a hypothetical case in a scenario he once outlined while campaigning in 2024.
Trump, who frequently rails against renewable energy, described meeting with a boat manufacturer in South Carolina. His concern that electric boats’ weight could make them prone to sinking led him to several tangents, including one about sharks.
He described asking the boat manufacturer if, in the hypothetical scenario, he should get electrocuted or jump near the shark.
"I’ll take the electrocution," Trump said.
