Because Discovery was on in the hotel. Final answer.
Oooh! Is it Shark Week already? Aww... Sunday, July 7th...
Live every week, like it's shark week.
He saw the previews for it.
Good to know!
I know you're joking but unfortunately this is probably the answer.
You have given the correct and inevitable answer.
Is that some kind of anti-EV rant?
The electric boats that Obama is making us use are dangerous because of the weight of the batteries, and this will cause all boaterists to be dead from shark attacks. Should be obvious to all Americans who know what's going on.
Obama stole my pic-a-nic basket!
Oh damn, you got me with boaterists!
Yes, I'm something of a motorboaterist myself...
Wait til he finds out aircraft carriers are made out of metal and concrete…
It’s not about how heavy they are, it’s about buoyancy. Fortunately, the engineers building boats aren’t as dumb as him.
Yeah thanks, O'Bama.
I guess? Electric boats are heavier because of the batteries? 🤔 Hard to tell where he was going with this.
🤔 Hard to tell where he ~~was~~ is ever going ~~with this~~.
I'm guessing he was told to mention that lithium batteries can explode if water gets in as a talking point against EVs, and his brain went to boats and sharks.
On a related note, I suspect all of his rants against using teleprompters (and his own lashing out at venues because his teleprompter was broken) is because his eyes have degraded to the point he can't read them anymore. So these rants are him trying to hit his talking points from memory because he physically can't follow a script any more.
His eyes aren't the only reason he can't read teleprompters.
Uplifting tangentially related note. Both the US and China (and soon a lot of other places) are already starting to produce sodium batteries (in actual products not just in labs) that sacrifice a bit of capacity for being way less volatile, require no or little rare earth metals and are less prone to discharging over time.
I’m for EVs, but solid state batteries are more promising for mobile applications. Sodium is a pretty big risk in water too.
Sails or onboard generation (wind and solar) are also an interesting solution on these huge ships. But the main problem is producing goods unnecessarily far from consumers so save a few dollars (subsidized by the environment).
I don't think you'd want a sodium battery in a boat though...
You don't, but Jihadists do!
It’s about the cost overrun of the Gerald Ford class carriers electromagnetic launch catapults where he demanded the switch back to steam and the naval architects laughing at him. His grudge devolved into this abstract hypothetical concept of him sitting on the catapult capacitors and getting zapped when the aircraft carrier sinks because of all its weight.

Because his brain is bad
Nonsense, Trump has the best brain! Many people are saying this. Top neurologists come up to him, big strong doctors, with tears in their eyes, saying “sir, you have such a good brain!”
A tremendous brain.
Probably the best brain in the world
"I've got the best brain, beautiful brain. Really smooth and shiny."
"Yeah but what about when Joe Biden paused to save face because he accidentally started to sit down too early at that ceremony commemorating D-Day?!" - Trumpets
This speech should be sent to every phone in America via the Amber Alert system. The absolute batshit crazy speech that I heard should be listened to in full.
You know Fawx News is going to cut the ever loving shit out of it, so you'll get maybe 1 or 2 usable sentences.
Neurosyphilis
Biden should have a toy shark on his podium during the debates.
Biden should have a blåhaj on his podium during the debates.
Biden should stay home and send blåhaj to the debates in his place.
Ummmm.....I'm going to have to go with "Because he's an idiot."
You hit the uncle tom daily double!
he hates sharks. Probably because they watched a better show.
If trump were tossed in a pool with starving sharks, they’d toss him back and demand real food.
Because his next line of shoes will be made out of concrete instead of gold plastic.
The ramblings of a madman. Who is this guy who's stand up comedy is worse than Jerry Seinfeld.
Dementia will regularly cause the sufferer to go on rant disconnected from reality.
The signs were there a decade ago....
So is trump for electric vehicles now because they will protect him from sharks?
