Floridians mark Trump's birthday with flotillas, caravans

Source: AP

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Trump supporters in Florida were celebrating the president’s birthday Sunday with caravans, flotillas and parades throughout his adopted homestate.

In Palm Beach County — home of President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort — separate caravans of trucks, motorcycles and boats were riding along highways and the intercoastal waterway at various times in the morning. The organizers were part of the president’s Florida re-election effort.

The Palm Beach Post reports that an anti-Trump caravan also was riding through the county Sunday to protest racism and call for police reforms.

Pro-Trump flotillas also were planned for Fort Lauderdale, Miami, the Florida Keys, Tampa, Pensacola and Jacksonville — where Trump is slated to be renominated for a second term at the end of August.

All kinds of paid dramas lie ahead, then spread online by millions of bots. He's got an even bigger online bot army than in 2016, and that was the biggest in history.

Ever 2-3 trips we see a boat with a trump flag. It’s a cult. Who puts a flag up on a fishing boat?
