President Donald Trump joked at a White House dinner that he could ban fishing due to his presidential power, telling industry executives he could prevent them from selling equipment. The quip came Thursday evening at a Rose Garden event where Trump signed executive orders expanding hunting and fishing opportunities and reversing Biden-era restrictions. He addressed Johnny Morris, billionaire founder of Bass Pro Shops, saying the orders would boost rod sales. Trump mused he could have made it so attendees "couldn't sell anything" or banned fishing entirely, framing the remark as a demonstration of his authority while promoting the new pro-outdoor industry measures.
