Just because the wakes from the larger, faster boats swamped smaller boats and the “captains” of the larger boats didn’t lift a finger to help those being swamped should absolutely not be seen as a metaphor for the tRump Kult. Absolutely not. Nope, Uh Uh!
There was a large parade of boats for THE ORANGE FOG at Table Rock Lake in Missouri. Unfortunately, no boats sank, but their sure spoiled the lake experience for the rest of us. )<:}
At one time Trump wanted to buy (on time, of course) a sailboat and sail away (from all his creditors) – then he found out a “Broad Reach” is not what he thought it was . . .
Glad no one was seriously injured other than what little pride they might have but it was interesting watching so many boats imitating the “SS Minnow” ……
I watched the little film that was available of that event a couple of days ago. I’m a sailor, so that bit of news really caught my eye. I’ve been in large gatherings of power boats (4th of July fireworks) in my rather small 19th sailboat. I know to stay put and stay clear of that kind of thing, and a sailboat is a lot more sea-worthy than a lot of those fishing skiffs.
Still I was amazed to see that number of boats, in such a narrow and confined channel, and the lead boat thinking that speed would make it more impressive. He must have been going 12-15 knots, still displacing though. Everyone else decided to keep up, of course, and by the time you got to the 5th or 6th row of boats, the reflections of the wakes from shore came back, and the cross chop was no doubt vicious. I could not see the full effect from the video (at a distance), but there were some still shots from boats showing other boats nearly disappearing in the troughs.
Too much testosterone, likely mixed with some beer.
The Real Irony is that the Boats which Sank were swamped by boats driven by Other Trumplethinskin supporters who were going so fast their Wakes sank the smaller boats.
It’s an apt metaphor for the Dump Tax Cuts and their effects on his “Followers”.

The bigger boats swamped the little boats in their wake as they blasted past.

Neither irony nor metaphor are within the grasp of those with Trump Disciple analysis skills.

Safe boating classes offered by the Coast Guard wouldn’t help those who think safe boating and COVID are hoaxes. Don’t need no life jackets or masks.
