Could Have Banned Fishing': Donald Trump Reminds Billionaire CEO Johnny Morris Who Is in Charge

President Donald Trump told billionaire Bass Pro Shops owner Johnny Morris that he “could have banned fishing” after signing an executive order easing hunting and fishing restrictions at a Rose Garden dinner. Trump’s comments came at a White House event attended by more than 100 guests from the hunting, fishing and outdoor industries, where Trump joked that he could briefly hurt the retailer’s business and suggested a one- or two-day ban until Morris asked for help. The president framed the order as reversing Biden-era limits and said it expands fishing seasons and quotas. Trump also predicted increased sales of fishing rods, tying the changes to commercial opportunities for Morris’s shops.
