A phenomenon of boat parades supporting President Donald Trump continued from coast to coast throughout Labor Day weekend.
With just two months until the November election, the events took place all across the U.S. over the holiday weekend to mark the unofficial end of summer.
The Daily Mail reported that the parades, dubbed “Great American Boat Parades,” were organized in eight cities.
Other such events appeared to be organized at local levels.
A Sunday parade in San Diego, California, attracted countless boaters.
