President Trump is “terrified” of sharks and hopes the entire species of fish “dies,” according to porn star Stormy Daniels.
In detailing her alleged 2006 sex affair with the future president to In Touch magazine in a 2011 bombshell interview — which was published in full Friday — Daniels commented on Trump’s fear of the sea creatures.
The porn star told the mag that after she and Trump did the deed following a celebrity golf tournament in Nevada, she met him at the Beverly Hills Hotel the next summer for dinner and Trump was watching “Shark Week” on TV.
“We had dinner once again in his room. I had swordfish that time. Once again, no alcohol,” Daniels told the outlet, adding that “the strangest thing about that night — this was the best thing ever.”
“You could see the television from the little dining room table and he was watching ‘Shark Week’ and he was watching a special about the U.S.S. something and it sank and it was like the worst shark attack in history,” she said, according to the interview.
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, added: “He is obsessed with sharks. Terrified of sharks.”
“He was like, ‘I donate to all these charities and I would never donate to any charity that helps sharks. I hope all the sharks die,’” Daniels claimed. “He was like riveted. He was like obsessed. It’s so strange, I know.”
Oddly enough, Trump tweeted in 2013 how he isn’t a “fan of sharks.”
“Sorry folks, I’m just not a fan of sharks – and don’t worry, they will be around long after we are gone,” the July 2013 tweet read.
The Wall Street Journal reported last week that Trump’s lawyer paid Daniels $130,000 weeks before the presidential election to keep quiet about the 2006 affair.
Both Daniels and Trump have denied the tryst.
