Donald Trump Followers Left Stranded in Desert After Coachella Rally: 'Chaos'
Published Oct 14, 2024 at 6:57 AM EDT
Hundreds of Donald Trump followers were left stranded in the California desert after a rally in the Coachella Valley over the weekend.
The rally was held at an outdoor venue where temperatures soared to over 100 degrees. Despite the intense heat, thousands of passionate Trump supporters braved the elements to hear the former president speak. During the rally, some supporters reportedly collapsed because of the stifling heat.
Prior to the event, several buses were provided to transport supporters to the rally location. However, after the rally, poorly organized transportation logistics and a lack of basic services left many attendees scrambling to find their way home, with many stranded miles from their cars after the event ended, as reported by the Times of San Diego.
Videos posted on X, formerly Twitter, show a large number of people waiting in line after the rally. One, filmed from a bus departing the venue, has what appears to be a bus driver shouting to those waiting telling them that this is the last bus, with another passenger saying: "No more buses, they just got notice."

Obama's inauguration was frigid. These cowardly Republicans can't even brave the cold.

Oh yeah, exactly right, I hope it's a shape of things to come. I hope nothing works out like he fantasized it.

I for one am grateful. I was terrified that the Bidens would get sick being outside in the cold.
