In the video, at least two women can be heard telling the floatie-wearing man to get away from them as he approaches, stating that he's not wearing a face mask. He then blows on them. The Loudoun County Sheriff's Office said in a public statement that the man in the floatie, identified as Raymond Deskins, 61, was served with a warrant to appear in court on a simple assault (misdemeanor) charge. The image of Deskins ensconced in the Trump pool floatie likely helped the story go viral online. Here it is on the subreddit 'Of Course That's a Thing': Trump shaped flotation device. from
