A “Trump Boat Parade” in Jupiter, Florida, on Sunday was joined by neo-Nazis waving swastika flags, shouting “White Power,” “Heil Trump,” and “Make America White Again!”
The showboating of yachts and wake boats on behalf of Trump’s candidacy is a revival of the “Trump Armada” trend from 2020, when MAGAdonians with literal boatloads of disposable income met up to cruise around a harbor and create more than a little whitewater while waving Trump flags.
This event in Jupiter, one of the wealthiest areas of the state, was touted by Trump ally Roger Stone as the “mother of all TRUMP boat parades.” It promised the well-heeled crowd an “incredible air show” with “paratroopers” descending with Trump 2024 flags.
But in the wake of Trump using openly fascistic rhetoric on the campaign trail — including pushing bigoted blood libel against Haitian immigrants and even parroting white nationalists by describing America as an “occupied country” — actual neo-Nazis also tried to join the party.
They pulled up in a boat waving Trump flags as well as the banner of Hitler’s government, yelling hateful things about “Jews” and hurling the n-word. The images caused Trump’s niece, Mary L. Trump, a frequent critic of the former president, to despair on X: “What the fuck are we even doing?”
