Donald Trump has unhinged new meltdown about sharks

Donald Trump spent the entire 2024 election cycle babbling about how he’d rather get electrocuted than eaten by sharks, and yet the media pretended he was the non-senile one, and tens of millions of people voted for him. Now we’re stuck with a “President” of the United States who’s so deep into dementia, he’s now basing his policies around – you guessed it – sharks.

Trump just announced that he’s looking at rebuilding and reopening a prison on Alcatraz island, so that the prisoners there will be “surrounded by sharks.” No really, he said that. Trump is literally making shark-based policies now, because that’s all that his crumbling brain can focus on.

By the way, Alcatraz Bay has very few sharks. The whole “escape Alcatraz by swimming to land but risk getting eaten by sharks on the way” thing is a myth. It’s the latest reminder that Trump never does have any idea what he’s talking about.

Of course Trump then admitted that he’s planning to work with “various prison development firms” on rebuilding Alcatraz. Translation? He’s going to funnel government money to whatever firm is willing to help him line his own pockets. Because with Trump, it’s always about corruption. And these days it’s also always about sharks.
