How long will feckless Joe Biden ignore the grave threat of sharks and electric boats? (Satire)

Rex Huppke, USA TODAY

Thank God for MY PRESIDENT, Donald J. Trump, the one presidential candidate with courage enough to confront the greatest twin threats of our time: sharks and electric boat batteries.

At a recent rally, Trump brought up the dilemma that’s keeping so many Americans who ride through shark-infested waters in battery-powered boats awake at night: “What would happen if the boat sank from its weight, and you’re in the boat and you have this tremendously powerful battery, and the battery is now underwater and there’s a shark that’s approximately 10 yards over there?”

It’s truly every electric-boat-using parent’s worst nightmare, assuming they don’t understand how boat batteries work and don't question why the shark that’s 10 yards over there wouldn’t also be getting electrocuted.

“Do I get electrocuted if the boat is sinking, water goes over the battery, the boat is sinking?” Trump smartly asked. “Do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted, or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted?”

But some people here are not happy. If you get my meaning. I myself get it.

but we did have a slick little electric boat.
Ran on a 32VDC system using banks of
golf cart batteries.
Took my nieces out to the backwater to swim
because the swim team was named the
Bermuda Sharks. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=470823278417967&set=a.470823228417972

Never felt endangered by them.

For awhile I lived down the street from this shipyard, where my boat was undergoing repairs. No one was concerned about electrocution - in the ocean. Durr.
