Bizarre statements and Donald Trump campaign rallies typically go hand in hand, but the former president served up a rant so strange on Sunday it likely raised eyebrows among even the most ardent MAGA supporters.
Speaking in Iowa about electric cars, Trump declared he’d rather be electrocuted than eaten by a shark if he was in a shipwreck caused by an electric boat engine—clearly bewildering the audience, which was largely mum.
“If I’m sitting down and that boat’s going down and I’m on top of a battery, and the water starts flooding in, I’m getting concerned,” Trump said.
“But then I look 10 yards to my left and there’s a shark over there. So I have a choice of electrocution or a shark—you know what I’m going to take? Electrocution. I will take electrocution every single time. Do we agree?”
The head-scratching comment was one of many in Sunday’s rally, in which Trump repeatedly touted his administration’s approval of year-round E-15 gasoline and railed against electric vehicles.

Hope we don’t have another Biden in our mist! We all start losing it as we age, but that comment was worse than the ones Kamala makes.
He’s always been out of touch with reality, pretending to play 3-D chess while he can barely put two sentences together. Whenever he’s off-script, like at those Covid briefings, you can hear how dumb Trump is. People just don’t want to admit they were conned by this guy. At this point, the ones who still believe he’s some kind of mastermind just make themselves look ridiculous.
True, evil Hitlerite Jokementia Bribery can’t get one coherent sentence out whereas Good Trump can speak sanely for hours…
Everyone bombs at one time or another. Let’s just hope he doesn’t do like Biden and abuse the privilege.
Yeah, Trump just voiced a personal choice… instant electrocution or painfully eaten by a shark for hours…
Just another trump anti everything, he is so old he does not like anything new. Anti vaccine, anti low flow toilets, anti wind power, anti electric cars, anti education, Trump is the anti president candidate. I live in texas where the oil wells in the gulf of Mexico pollute the water, where fracing causes earthquakes and climate change has caused the hottest summer in record.
Good Trump is practical… evil Hitlerite Jokementia Bribery is an evil insane criminal with unworkable illusions of grandeur…
Summer here was mild, 10 degrees below our highs of 40 years ago…
I think that them Dims seeking to cancel him are the sharks. The battery is the election by the people.
Trump needs to drop out of the presidential race before he is convicted of his many crimes against our country . After the Civil War traitors were not allowed to run for the office of president.
