Donald Trump on Sunday ranted at a rally about batteries and shark attacks, leading the internet to question the ex-president's mental capacity.
Trump on Sunday spoke in Las Vegas, at one point veering off into a discussion about shark attacks while apparently discussing President Joe Biden's environmental priorities related to electric vehicles.
"It must be because of M.I.T., my relationship with M.I.T., very smart, I say, what would happen if the boat sank from its weight, 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 ... by the way, a lot of shark attacks lately," Trump said before derailing the conversation with a purported shark attack story. He then rejoins his original tale about the sinking boat, asking, "Do I get electrocuted or do I jump over by the shark?"
He then proclaims he'd rather be electrocuted.
"I'm not going near the shark," Trump added.
Online, the story didn't go over well.
Journalist Aaron Rupar posted the clip, writing, "Trump is now ranting about batteries and shark attacks. I dare you to try to make sense of this."
Conservative Army Iraq War Veteran Peter Henlein also chimed in.
"This is incoherent rambling. He is senile," he said, before making a prediction. "He won’t be debating."
Democrat Harry Sisson said, "WHAT?! Trump just ranted about sharks, boats, batteries, and water in an incoherent rant."
"Trump’s brain is malfunctioning every day at this point. This is utter nonsense," he then added. "Go ahead, try to make sense of any of this…"
Journalist Ian Fraser added, "In a bizarre rant during his Las Vegas rally, Donald Trump says he’d rather be electrocuted by a sinking e-boat than eaten by a shark."
