From the “you can’t make this up files”:
The authorities rescued numerous people from the waters of Lake Travis in Texas on Saturday after at least four boats sank at an event promoted as a Trump Boat Parade, officials said.
The Sheriff’s Office in Travis County received “multiple” calls of boats in distress starting at 12:15 p.m. local time, a spokeswoman, Kristen Dark, said.
Christa Stedman, a spokeswoman for Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services, said no injuries had been reported.
Firefighters pulled “numerous” people out of the water, said Braden Frame, president of the Lake Travis Fire Fighters Association. It was not clear how many had needed rescuing, he said.
People deserting their sinking ships in the Trump Boat parade? Really?
