Readers Write: Trumpsters on wheels or water a sham

The Island Now

These Trumplican parades all have one thing in common. Whether they are yachts and rowboats draped with banners large enough to sink them, festooned with large numbers of inappropriately displayed American flags, or pickups with oversized tires, and SUVs similarly festooned with yet more inappropriately displayed American flags. there is a common thread: futility.

The boat parades come off more as a Looney Tune circus show, impressing only themselves. The truck and car parades have more in common with Klan nightriders than legitimate demonstrations. The common thread?

If these demonstrators left their yachts, dinghies and trucks and assembled to voice their opinion, we would see what a meager number of simply noisy people they are. Maybe that’s why they need to hide behind their trucks and yachts.
