Why was Trump talking about sharks at a campaign event? - eviltoast

“It must be because of M.I.T., my relationship with M.I.T., very smart. I say, 'What would happen if the boat sank from its weight and you’re in the boat and you have this tremendously powerful battery, and the battery is now underwater, and there’s a shark that’s approximately 10 yards over there?” Trump said. “By the way, lot of shark attacks lately. Did you notice that?”

In land locked NEVADA.

His grudge devolved into this abstract hypothetical concept of him sitting on the catapult capacitors and getting zapped when the aircraft carrier sinks because of all its weight.
