Chairs at closed Alabama beach spell out ‘TRUMP’

Alabama’s beaches have all been closed since last Thursday at 5:00 p.m. CT due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

While the normal crowds of visitors on Spring Break can no longer be seen across coastal Baldwin County, one spot in Orange Beach was not totally vacant.

As posted on social media by Mark Levin, somebody took advantage of the state-ordered beach closures by assembling a large group of beach chairs to spell out “TRUMP.”

While it certainly could have been a tourist from outside the Yellowhammer State who took the time to show their support for President Donald J. Trump, it is fitting that the gesture occurred in Alabama, where the president has consistently enjoyed one of his highest — and often the highest — approval ratings nationwide.
