The Discovery Channel, the network behind “Shark Week,†wants President Trump to know sharks are "critical" to the ecosystem.
Trump, according to a second-hand report this week, once said that he wants all sharks to die.
“Shark Week celebrates the wonder of these majestic creatures and their critical importance to the ecosystem,†a Discovery Channel spokesperson told Mashable in response. “Their safety and conservation is the most important message conveyed throughout the week.â€
Trump’s alleged disdain for sharks was revealed in a 2011 interview with adult film star Stormy Daniels, which was published earlier this week.
