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.

If only we had Trumps with fricking laser beams on its head, instead of that blow-dried dead mongoose. You generally can judge supervillians by their hairdos, and the size of their hands. So sad.

I think the orange toupee has a life of its own and is evil enough...
I even saw a recent game trailer using an evil robotic trump with his characteristic toupee. https://youtu.be/1OqaU7CutsY?t=58 [youtu.be]

If only Trump hated Mexicans! Then this whole DACA thing, and immigration reform for people from Scotland, like Trump's mother, would be very quickly settled! Mark my Mako, Thresher, Blacktip, Leopard, Whale, and White.

What? Fox and Fiends was not on, so he had to watch Shark Week? My goodness, I hope he never watches Walking Dead by mistake. Not to say the Donald is impressionable, but the First First Lady did say, "Donald gets confused when so many people talk to him."

I was forced to watch some Fox Noose this week. Wall to wall coverage of the "missing" FBI "secret society" texts. Which ended up recovered yesterday with the secret society remark being a single sarcastic text, and Senator Ron Johnson [cnn.com] at one point saying that he didn't know what his "source" meant.
As for zombies, don't forget that the CDC has already played around with that. They will probably wait another 4-8 years before trying that stunt again:

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.

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.

President Trump has tweeted that he hates it when his political opponents slam their hands in car doors. Emergency rooms nationwide are reporting a massive spike in treatment of hand injuries. You tube is considering issuing guidelines on posting video of self inflicted hand in car door incidents.
