Hundreds of boaters in Florida came together on Sunday to show their support for President Donald Trump in a truly beautiful way.
The parade began in the city of Jupiter and continued along the Intracoastal Waterway, with participants waving Trump flags and playing patriotic music, according to Breitbart News.
“This was as close to spontaneous as it gets — one Facebook post and one individual wanting to show support,” Mark Ambert wrote on Facebook, accompanied by video of the parade. “This parade of boats went on for literally hours. It is something I will never forget — It brought chills and such an upwelling of pride! Watch the full six minute video to get some idea of the magnitude. You’ll see boats of every shape and size! I’m sure the fake news won’t cover it but our President was aware it was occurring and sent his love and support to the American people and the great state of Florida.”
Videos of the parade went so viral that they were eventually brought to the attention of President Trump. “Ninety-four or 95 percent of the press is hostile. And yet, if you look in Florida today, we had hundreds and hundreds of boats going up and down the Intracoastal,” Trump said on Sunday night at a Fox News town hall. “We have tremendous support.”
Trump also tweeted about it, writing, “Thank you very much to our beautiful ‘boaters.’ I will never let you down!”

The mainstream media likes to make it look like all of America hates President Trump, but this makes it clear that this is a blatant lie. We’re glad to see patriots come together to give President Trump the respect that he deserves!
