Trump Repeats Bizarre Story About Boats And Sharks

“Now they’ll say all these stories are terrible. Well, these stories have, you know, you heard my story in the boat with the shark, right? I got killed on that.

“They thought I was rambling. I’m not rambling. They wanna make boats. And they’re demanding that they be battery-operated. All electric. I was in South Carolina at this wonderful family boat yard.

“I said, ‘How it going?’ And they said, ‘Not good. They want us to be all electric. We can’t get the boat to float. The battery is so heavy.’

“So then I start talking about asking questions. You know, I have an, I had an uncle who was a great professor at MIT for many years, long, I think the longest tenure ever. Very smart, had three different degrees and you know, so I have an aptitude for things.

“You know, there is such a thing as an aptitude. I said, ‘Well, what would happen if this boat is so heavy and started to sink and you’re on the top of the boat? Do you get electrocuted or not?’

“In other words, the boat is going down and you’re on the top, will the electric currents flow through the water and wipe you out? And let’s say there’s a shark about ten yards over there.

“Would I have to immediately abandon or could I ride the electric down and he said, ‘Sir, nobody’s ever asked us that question. But sir, I don’t know.’ I said, ‘Well, I want to know because I guarantee you one thing, I don’t care what happens.’

“I’m staying with the electric, I’m not getting over with it. So I tell that story. And the fake news they go, he told this crazy story with electric. It’s actually not crazy. It’s sort of a smart story, right?

“Sort of like, you know, it’s like the snake, it’s a smart when you, you figure what you’re leaving in, right? You’re bringing it in the, you know, the snake, right?

“The snake and the snake. I tell that and they do the same thing.” – Trump, repeating his bizarre claim that he’d rather stay on a sinking electric boat than be eaten by the hungry sharks that would surely be lurking close by.
