Unreal," read the first tweet in a string of messages. He then showed three sharks swimming in flood water inside a mall, writing: "It just keeps getting WORSE!!

Now sharks are attacking public spaces like malls. This is a coordinated attack."Anyone who saw the two tweets might have been duped by the convincing photoshop work, but the next two tweets revealed the user was making light of a bad situation in Florida.He followed his mall picture with one of an orca leaping from the water that flooded a street in "downtown Miami.""It gets even crazier, an Orca was just spotted swimming in downtown Miami.

Unreal," he wrote. It then became abundantly clear he was joking when he wrote: "Oh my god a shark assassin with a laser beam somehow snuck into the White House pool and tried to wipe out President Biden."He also tweeted a picture of a massive great white shark biting the Golden Gate Bridge in California, warning that "billions of lives could be lost."His satirical tweets came before Joe.
