Multiple vessels sank during a Trump Boat Parade on Lake Travis in Texas, and people were rescued from the water. This was during nationwide MAGA celebrations kicked off for the Labor Day weekend.
Travis County Sheriff’s Office responded to ‘many boats in distress’ on Lake Travis, Texas.
Several boats sank and other called for help after hundreds of vessels gathered for a ‘Trump Boat Parade.’
As boats flooded with water, rescuers brought passengers to safety. There were no injuries or deaths.
There have been many of these flotillas throughout the country without incident. What are the chances?
Authorities said they were unable to confirm how many boats were in need of help or sunk due to the overwhelming amount of calls they’ve received.
The Austin-Travis County EMS also confirmed it had not received any calls regarding medical emergencies and therefore was not assisting at the lake.
Organizers of the event had promoted the parade on Facebook, inviting Trump supporters and boats of ‘all shapes and sizes’ to participate.
“Decorate your boats in patriotic colors and fly as many Trump flags as she can handle,” the post read.
More than 2,500 people planned to attend and more than 5,800 were interested, according to the event page.
It is unclear how many boats turned out for the parade however, social media photos showed large crowds gathering along the route to watch what appeared to be hundreds of vessels sail by.
The parade was scheduled to kick off at 11.30 am and end at Emerald Point at 2 pm.
The sheriff’s office said it received the first call around 12.15 pm, minutes after the parade began.
Meanwhile, similar boat parades in support of the president unfolded across the country including in New Jersey and Iowa for Labor Day Weekend.
An estimated 2,000 to 2,500 boats were expected to set off from Barnegat Bay, near Toms River, in a massive flotilla paying tribute to law enforcement and the president, The New York Post reported.
The left on social media is having a ball for themselves, mocking the people who sank. Hopefully, they will never have to suffer like this.
It sure looks like sabotage.
Flotillas elsewhere were very successful.

“It sure looks like sabatoge?” I guess you have lots of experience with boat crime then?
Common sense…The likes of yourself most likely go along with the “coincidence” factor promoted by the vaccine doctors(?) pertaining to the “pandemic that is NOT a pandemic” rate of growth over the past forty years, of autism, in conjunction with mass vaccinations, from 1/5000 to the recent 1/27…soon to be 1/1…By the way, boats do NOT commit crimes…people do !!!
TWO boats…MAYBE…4…MUCH LESS LIKELY, but POSSIBLE…OTHERWISE it’s CLEARLY SABOTAGE…
Just questioning– the top photo of the ” Biden boat”. The boat appears to have been in that position for some time ( note the stains on the deck and engine0 . I wonder if the Biden banners were placed on it in ridicule.
One or two vessels sinking is likely an unfortunate accident beyond that, it stands to reason it is sabotage. It is 20-20 hindsight to say these vessels should have had an armed person on board over night to guard them. As should the marinas where boats are docked. It’s a sad, and could have been a tragic lesson. American lawful citizens need to stay armed, trained, and vigilant.
“Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens. With guns, we are ‘citizens’; without them, we are ‘subjects’. “
Can we get an “Amen” on that? AMEN!
…Or maybe it was just a bunch of inconsiderate assholes practicing poor boating etiquette, which, I might add, is totally on brand for this movement. Larger boat operators are supposed to give consideration to smaller vessels nearby. As a result, they created large wakes that the smaller boats couldn’t handle. You people are idiots.
AMEN TO THAT
