Trump flotilla stunt was a big waste

September 17, 2020 12:00 am • Last Updated: September 17, 2020 10:39 am

The Trump powerboat flotilla on the Mystic River on Sunday was disgusting! There was so much noise from horns and screaming that anyone trying to get anything done had a hard time even thinking straight. Events like that cause more community division, pitting neighbor against neighbor. The best I can say for it was that it was not violent, and I hope no one got hurt. What a waste of money, energy, and time. Guess the Republicans have nothing better to do on a Sunday afternoon and, if that is what they call fun, I want no part of it.

I certainly hope that the Democrats have more class than to pull a stunt like that!
