Here in Portland, we were treated to our own Trump boat parade on the Willamette River over the weekend. In an effort to make Lib’s cry the Trump supporters were going fast in what is a heavily trafficked part of the river that goes right through downtown and were causing a huge amount of wake, resulting in sinking what appears to have been a bystander’s boat. This is in a section of the river where there is a current effort to reduce speed and wake due to kayaks, canoes, and sup enthusiasts being put in danger by wakeboarders and similar wake sports.
The Trump campaign recently sent out an email highlighting boat parades in other parts of the country, possibly encouraging this one.
No confirmation if the sunk boat was a bystander or was involved in the parade but multiple witnesses claim they appeared to be just sitting there enjoying a day out on the river. The video in the linked article seems to back this up. Once again proof that Trump supporters give no f*cks about anything but themselves.
The boats created a large wake as they went through the downtown Portland area.
The next video shared with KATU shows a boat taking on water. It's unclear if the boat was a part of the boat parade, but one witness says it appeared the boaters just happened to be on the river at the same time.
