Donald Trump has let fly with his first public remarks since his debate with opponent Kamala Harris, telling his admirers at a campaign event on Thursday that he would rather be electrocuted by a shark than have Taylor Swift drop a car battery on his head.

The 5000-strong crowd cheered as he continued by saying he would also prefer to be killed in a building collapse than drowned by Swift in a sink full of water or shot in the face by her because, he believes, on each occasion, she would fail.

“The car battery would probably just give me brain damage; she’d be too weak to hold me under the water for very long, and she’d probably only blow half of my face off. She’s a terrible shot.”, said Trump. “She wouldn’t be able to kill me because she’s bad at everything. I’m beautiful at everything. If I tried to kill someone, I’d do a great job. I have a lot of assassin friends who say I’m incredible at killing people.”

Taylor Swift, who recently threw her support behind Kamala Harris, was unavailable for comment.
