Donald Trump's 'hatred of sharks' benefits conservation charities

Donald Trump's alleged hatred of sharks has inspired people to financially support international shark charities.

The US president's dislike for the marine animal was revealed last week in an In Touch Weekly interview with adult film actress Stormy Daniels. He reportedly said that he would never give money to shark charities, adding: "I hope all sharks die."

Shark conservation groups have since noted an uptick in donations, one with the message: "Because Trump." Charities such as Atlantic White Shark Conservancy and the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society told MarketWatch they had an outpouring of donations.

    The first rule of the "secret society" is to not talk about the "secret society". That's why we have the "super secret handshake" that people with "tiny" hands can't accomplish.

    You laugh, but there are secret societies that have used things like a Super Secret handshake to identify other members. The secret / not so secret society of the Masons are just one example of an actual secret society. Scoff all you want at secret societies, but they do exist and have their own agenda. The question is what agenda and why have a secret society, if it's on the up and up.

      Pretty much every street gang has their own secret handshake, some with multiple versions and variations.
