TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “We have a silent majority, the likes of which nobody has seen. I just looked — there are thousands of boats in lakes, rivers, and oceans. Thousands and thousands of boats. It’s called ‘Boaters for Trump,’ ‘Boaters for Trump-Pence.’ There’s signs all over. Some of the boats have 10 flags on them. They’re incredible. There are thousands. We did nothing to do this. This is just generic. It just happened.”
-Donald Trump, “Remarks by President Trump in Press Briefing | August 15, 2020,” whitehouse.gov, Aug. 16, 2020
