Your Survival Guy’s Saturday Lunch Surprise You Won’t Believe

October 26, 2020 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Your Survival Guy is on the ground on the rough and tumble streets of Newport, RI, for you—risking it all. Take Saturday, for example. Enjoying an after-lunch stroll, I was taken aback, drawn like a dog to a whistle by honking cars and loud music on America’s Cup Ave. “What’s this commotion?” Your Survival Guy asked. Self responded, “This my friend is a Trump car parade in Newport, RI.”

Indeed it was.

Just an hour earlier, Your Survival Guy was lunching at the Clarke Cooke House, enjoying an afternoon with Becky and a life long friend visiting us from Naples, FL. Your Survival Guy’s seaside MRE was a half-dozen oysters and mignonette; tuna ceviche passionfruit leche de tigre, avocado, Bermuda onion, jalapeño, and cilantro; and a crab and clam chowder; all washed down with a crisp, chilled pinot gris (or two).

Fast forward to our perch above America’s Cup from the beautiful new Hammett’s Hotel when, to our surprise, a sea of Trump cars, trucks and flags unfurled before our very eyes. It was magnificent—a site to be seen in, of all places, Newport, RI.

You couldn’t help but be excited. We witnessed college-age kids toasting their Bud Lights, giving a thumbs up and a dad with a stroller doing the same and perhaps wishing he had something to toast. It reminded me of our Trump boat parade this summer that turned Rhode Island red on that memorable Sunday morning. Things are heating up for Trump. Let’s go!

FLASHBACK: Proud to be an American: Pro-Trump Parade Turns Rhode Island Red

For a few precious hours Sunday, hundreds of boats gathered under the Newport, RI bridge to begin a massive Pro-Trump boat parade to celebrate our love for country and concern for where it’s going.

As we powered up the bay, sounding our horns, waving flags, and simply enjoying the flotilla, we were fired up in anticipation of seeing the crowds at Colt State Park.

Thousands lined the shore waving flags and cheering as the parade went by. You felt the love for your fellow Americans. It was a special day for my family and for all of those who turned out in Rhode Island: a day to be proud to be an American and of turning Rhode Island Red.

Laura Damon writes in the Providence Journal:

BRISTOL — Terry and Joe Lorenz of Portsmouth stood close to the water’s edge at Colt State Park on Sunday afternoon. Terry proudly held an enormous Trump flag, and the couple beamed as they watched the parade of boats, many sporting flags like the one Terry held.

“I feel emotional. I’m proud to be here,” Terry said. “I am a Republican and I’m proud to be a Republican.”

“I like [Trump’s] spirit, I like his patriotism,” Joe said.

Terry and Joe were two of the roughly 2,000 people, an estimate from Park Ranger Grayson Caron, who arrived at the state park waterfront Sunday to soak in the pro-Trump boat parade, organized by Laura Larrivee of Barrington.

“It was a greater turnout than Independence Day,” a historically crowded day at the park, Caron said. He noted officials there called off max capacity at the park and cars were allowed to park in typically prohibited areas because of the sheer volume of people funneling in.

A petty officer with Coast Guard Station Castle Hill estimated that around 300 boats participated in the parade.

Boaters who took part in the parade gathered at the Newport Pell Bridge at 11 a.m. and made their way to Bristol, where they rode by Colt State Park, an optimal vantage point for those who wanted to catch a glimpse. The boats arrived at the park around noon, and the parade ended in Warwick, a seaman with Coast Guard Station Castle Hill confirmed.

“I was sitting on watch all day … I believe it went well,” Seaman Nathan Schroeder at Coast Guard Station Castle Hill said of the parade. He said he was not aware of any boating accidents.

“It was chaotic for a little while [but] it was smooth,” Caron said. Over his radio, he heard of one potential assault that happened in the park around 12:15 p.m. He did not know the details.

The Department of Environmental Management’s Division of Law Enforcement Chief Dean Hoxsie said via text around 3:45 p.m. that no arrests were made at Colt State Park during the pro-Trump boat parade.

“Peaceful is the key word today,” Larrivee said at the Lighthouse Marina, LLC, in Barrington just before 9 a.m. on Sunday.

She was there with Jean Lehane and Karen Ferris, both of Portsmouth. As the event organizer, Larrivee wanted to get to the Pell Bridge early. She wore a baseball cap that said “Yes, I’m a Trump girl. Get over it,” and a T-shirt that read “The Great Awakening,” matching Lehane’s shirt.

Ferris wore a “Trump, keep America great,” hat.

“This rally … is not about fighting the other side, [but about supporting the president] and the things we believe,” Larrivee said.

Asked why she supports the president, and what she likes about him, Lehane said “reducing regulations … [and] he does a lot for our veterans … incredible trade deals … beefing up our military …strengthening our border.”

“Try to put his personality to the side,” Lehane said. “The media portrays him a certain way.”

Larrivee noted bipartisan support for criminal justice reform under Trump. Ferris said she appreciates Trump’s support for police officers.

“I think our police officers really need to know that they have supporters that back them,” Ferris said.

At Colt State Park, wearing a neon yellow “Trump” shirt, Ken Prew of Riverside said he was “very surprised” with the strong turnout of Trump supporters.

Prew noted he was a Democrat until 2016. Asked why he supports Trump, he said “look at the economy … he thinks of America first.”

Some people on shore could be heard yelling “four more years,” as boats and JetSkis cruised by the park. Many held flags, cheered and waved.
