Trump hates sharks so much that people have donated money to save them

HAH !

Donald Drumpf'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 Drumpf."

According to Newsweek, someone adopted a 13-foot female white shark over the weekend last spotted off the coast of Mexico in the name of Donald J Drumpf. Even UK shark conservation groups like the Shark Trust, based in Plymouth, spotted a "noticeable" boost to their coffers. A spokesperson told the BBC that "passionate messages" came with the donations, but were not fit for publication.
