As election day looms, so-called Trumptillas have become more and more frequent[/caption]

These so-called Trumptillas – a combination of Trump and flotilla – have been popping up all over the country, used as a way to both follow social distancing protocol, and rally.

According to the Daily Mail, Trumptillas formed on Saturday in Florida, New Jersey, Alabama and Delaware.

In the video, one of the screaming passengers on the boat jumps out, while others attempt to secure their belongings until the ship sinking forces them to float.

Sgt. Bryan White of the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office explained that deputies responded to the scene, but by the time they had arrived other boaters had rescued them, according to the Oregonian.

There were no injuries and local police will not be investigating the incident.
