Discovery Channel responds to reports that Trump wants sharks to die

Source: The Hill

The Discovery Channel, the network behind “Shark Week,” wants President Trump to know sharks are "critical" to the ecosystem.

Trump, according to a second-hand report this week, once said that he wants all sharks to die.

“Shark Week celebrates the wonder of these majestic creatures and their critical importance to the ecosystem,” a Discovery Channel spokesperson told Mashable in response. “Their safety and conservation is the most important message conveyed throughout the week.”

In the interview with InTouch, Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, said she and Trump were having dinner while a “Shark Week” special about a massive shark attack was on television, prompting him to say he hopes “all the sharks die.”

They'd get higher ratings if they had prostitutes spanking fat old men with rolled up magazines. Just sayin'.

Dogs, sharks, being poisoned, showing he's really bald.

Not afraid of, Russian mobs, NY and NJ mafia. Federal Govt shut downs.


He's brilliant on risk assessment.

Never communed with nature. Never been in a national park or walked on a trail. Gone swimming in a river, fishing, camping. Nothing.

He lived in grand houses, then went to military school, then college, worked for Daddy while living in grand digs. White people all around him, mainly white males, while the occasional non-white was a worker on a building or a janitor at his apartment bldg. He never had pets, so has not bonded with any creature of the world or learned to love, or be loved, unconditionally.

Did trump watch Sharknado and think it was a documentary?

Never mind, trump would never watch a documentary on purpose.

Should be saved for horror movies

Learn about things around you
And you may surprise yourself
Else be afraid of everything
