UNITED STATES−Floating Trump parades or “Flotillas” have become the thing this summer.   The first documented Trump Boat Parade was May 3, 2020, on the coast of Florida.

September 19, Boothbay Harbor, Maine

The flotillas were not just on Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day weekend. The Trump flotillas have become a great part of summer entertainment nationwide,  and are still going strong.  The latest being Saturday, September 19, 2020, at Lake Ozark, Missouri. Another took place on the same day in Boothbay Harbor, Maine.

Since the large crowds at Trump rallies have been limited due to restrictions and care not to spread the coronavirus, Trump supporters have taken to the outdoors. There have been a few Trump parades on the ground, but the majority have been more of a floating Trump boat parade, or a flotilla. Boating has become the favorite activity with each family contained in their own vessel or boat.

American flags, Betsy Ross flags, every variety of Trump flag, Don’t Tread on Me Flags, and more flap in the summer breeze as the boats make their way through the waters.

ThePatriot Jet Boat, named, “The Flagship” participated in the San Diego flotilla on Sunday, September 6, 2020, at 12:00 noon.

Clearwater Florida had a record-breaking crowd, locals calling it, “The mother of all boat parades.” Close to 2,000 boaters were in attendance.
