A lone figure waving a giant “Trump 2020” on Sea Island on Sunday attracted the attention of passing motorists and, ultimately, the RCMP.

A lone figure waving a giant “Trump 2020” on Sea Island on Sunday attracted the attention of passing motorists and, ultimately, the RCMP.

The man, who appeared to be driving an older style pickup truck, with a canoe strapped to the roof, was spotted near the intersection of Russ Baker Way and the Dinsmore Bridge.

At some point in the day, three RCMP vehicles arrived at the scene. It's not clear why or if any offences were being committed.

A video and pictures of the man surfaced on social media solicited mostly derision, with some people suggesting the flag-waver took a wrong turn, believing he was in the U.S.
