В верховьях реки Хомосасса на востоке американского штата Флорида нашли ламантина, на спине которого было вырезано слово «Трамп». Ламантин серьезно не пострадал, так как его спину покрывал слой водорослей, на которых и вырезали слово «Трамп», заявила The New York Times Служба охраны рыбных ресурсов и диких животных США. Жительница Флориды Хейли Уоррингтон, которая обнаружила ламантина, заявила изданию Sarasota Herald-Tribune, что животное выглядело здоровым, но проявляло признаки стресса. По ее словам, слой водорослей на ламантине был довольно толстым; тот, кто вырезал слово «Трамп», достиг кожи животного, но не повредил ее. Некоммерческая организация «Центр биологического разнообразия» объявила награду в пять тысяч долларов за информацию о человеке, который навредил ламантину.
