Trump Boat Parade Draws Hundreds in San Francisco

Singer Joy Villa arrived from Los Angeles the day before to perform at the parade.
Since 2017, she has been attending Grammy Awards ceremonies wearing pro-Trump attire. For the boat parade, she wore the same Trump 2020 dress that she wore to the Grammy Awards earlier this year.
“People say ‘do you just do it for attention?’ Yeah, I do. I do it for the right kind of attention. I want you to see the message. I want to start a conversation and then hopefully, you will look into it as well,” Villa said. “Especially being a woman of color. I’m Black, I’m Latina. Now I’m a best-selling author.”
She sang “Make America Great Again,” “Home Sweet Home.”
“My songs were always all about freedom. My songs were always about self-empowerment and a belief in yourself and a belief in God.
I’m a Christian woman. I love my country, I’m pro-life,” she said. She said she used to be a liberal.
She was born and mostly raised in California, so she felt it was important to show her support for the president at a big event in the state.
“When I looked at what President Trump actually said he was going to do and it was the same consistent message years and years before—I did the research—I can’t deny that this man has been saying the same thing. He wants less foreign dependence on China, less foreign oil … less taxes. We want Americans to survive and to be successful again,” Villa said.
