It was an impressive start when hundreds of boats set sail on Lake Travis in Texas on Saturday afternoon to campaign for US President Donald Trump (74) with a parade of boats. An army of Trump fanatics huddled in the lake.
Marked with US flags and Trump election slogans, there was no question as to which presidential candidates’ hearts were beating in this area. But then came the first 911 call from a sinking ship, and it wasn’t the only one.
“During the boat parade we received several emergency calls from boats that were in distress and several boats sank,” quoted US media Kristen Dark, a spokeswoman for the Travis County Sheriff’s Office.
Did the navigators sink each other?
The emergency calls came from “everywhere on the parade route,” Dark said. The ships had leaked, capsized and sunk. A ship “got stuck and hit the rocks.”
At first it was not clear how many people needed to be rescued from their sunken ships. “There were a lot of boats on our lake,” Dark said. “And it’s a very, very big lake.” According to rescuers, no one was seriously injured.
Internet teasing campaign
It wasn’t long before the folks at Lake Travis turned upside down were filled with ridicule and ridicule on the internet. “These fools representing Trump sank their own ships,” wrote one Twitter user. There are no big waves in this lake. They literally sank each other’s ships. “
Another scoffed: “Trump’s disastrous boat rally reflects the current state of his campaign.” Soon the “Great Battle of Lake Travis” also made the rounds. (kes)
