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.

    You assume the remark is sarcastic because the alternative is that our government contains corruption. Uh... our government contains corruption.

    I'm betting the truth is somewhere between "sarcastic" and "weird organization with secret rituals". It is most likely a group of people plotting to violate the law together. I doubt there is a uniform or a special handshake or any sort of exotic ritual. It is probably a smallish group of people that has a private group chat and sometimes gathers in somebody's office to coordinate their crime.
