A boat parade being called “Trumptilla” is set to take place over Labor Day weekend on the Potomac River in Washington D.C.
Not everything in the nation’s capital involves social unrest. Ardent fans of President Trump are planning a sizable “National Capital Trumptilla” boat parade on the Potomac River over Labor Day weekend, and their route will glide past some of the most historic sites in the nation — not to mention the White House.
“Washington, D.C. isn’t exactly Trump country but there’s enough Trump supporters around to make some noise. Like Ronald Reagan said, ‘a rising tide lifts all boats,’” LaDonna Hale Curzon, a local volunteer, tells Inside the Beltway.
The boaters will begin their journey at the Wilson Bridge, some seven miles south of Washington on the Beltway in Northern Virginia, then proceed at “no-wake speed” to the Lincoln Memorial, minding the 18-foot clearance of bridges that span the Potomac. Larger boats will continue up the Anacostia River, which heads east.
Here is a partial explanation from the planners of the event:
“Let’s show our support of President Trump, the U.S. Constitution, law enforcement, fire fighters, emergency responders, frontline healthcare and essential workers and let the voices of freedom and liberty to strongly be heard in our nation’s capital,” planners say in their public advisory. “No boat, no problem. Join the land rally. Come by car, muscle car, antique car, motorcycle, truck, or bike. Bring your lawn chairs, flags, signs, patriotic wear, and let’s do it right! Decorate in red, white, and blue,”
Boat Parades for Trump is a trend that has taken over the country.
Here are just a few of the Boat Parades that have taken place across the country:

Thank you very much to our beautiful “boaters.” I will never let you down! pic.twitter.com/Ot5Ffnjj9G

This shows us just how much enthusiasm President Trump has behind him. Even with threats from many on the left they still go out on their boats and show that they stand behind President Trump.
