On Saturday night time, Donald Trump inexplicably held a rally in Coachella, California. The Golden State, after all, will go Democratic by huge majorities, and no quantity of rallying within the state will make any distinction.
However Trump isn’t getting the massive rallies within the battleground states, and he heard how California was house to numerous Republicans. So off he went in search of his huge rally.
After which he screwed over these Republicans.
The rally wasn’t held on the similar venue because the well-known music pageant that pulls 1 / 4 million individuals over two weekends to the southern California desert. Trump clearly was banking on the well-known title for constructive affiliation, although he held his rally on a personal ranch. Everybody was required to take shuttle buses, nobody was allowed to both drive or car-share to the venue.
Whereas Trump claimed 100,000 attended the rally, the occasion was solely permitted to have as much as 15,000 individuals.
So the Trump marketing campaign holds a rally at a location that’s solely accessible by way of shuttle. They transfer as much as 15,000 individuals into the venue. Their very own steering instructs attendees to board a bus again to their parking tons.
After which these buses didn’t present up after the occasion.
This video from a Trump supporter captured the post-event chaos.

Coachella mess
The venue the place Trump held the rally is in the course of nowhere and 5 miles from parking.
The cult was lured in with bus rides to get in to the venue after which deserted when it was over.
That is the right metaphor for a Trump presidency.

One Trump supporter tweeted concerning the catastrophe.
It is 10pm. Rally ended at 7pm. Hundreds of individuals nonetheless stranded right here ready for transit again to the parking tons. One thing has gone horribly flawed. Somebody must ask the Coachella mayor if he had something to do with this. Parking zone is a 2 hour stroll. Numerous aged stranded right here and might’t stroll anymore. No restroom amenities accessible anymore. Somebody discover out what occurred right here. This isn’t regular and feels nefarious and prison.
And extra:
It is 10:22pm. Rally ended at 7pm. Hundreds of individuals nonetheless stranded right here ready for transit again to the parking tons. One thing has gone horribly flawed. Somebody must ask the Coachella mayor if he had something to do with this. Parking zone is a 2 hour stroll. Numerous aged stranded right here and might’t stroll anymore. No restroom amenities accessible anymore. No extra water. No meals. Began with 20 busses for escorting individuals to the rally, and now just one bus stays at this level. Busses apparently went house. Not confirmed, however no extra buses have confirmed up within the final hour and a half. Somebody discover out what occurred right here. This isn’t regular and feels nefarious and prison.
And extra:
2 busses simply drove by. Have not seen any busses transfer for nearly 2 hours. Somebody please attain out to Sheriff Chad Bianco and President Trump to resolve this. I feel one thing nefarious went down tonight making an attempt to spark a riot.
Hilariously, this man wished in charge the native mayor. The man filming the video above demanded “an investigation” and wished to “get the mayor on the phone right now.”
What’s there to research? There was one group in command of transportation, the Trump marketing campaign, and it simply didn’t give a rattling. The mayor has nothing to do with a personal occasion, however god forbid these cultists admit the quite simple incontrovertible fact that they had been left excessive and dry by Trump himself.
Any of you who adopted Ukraine battle protection would possibly even acknowledge the “someone tell Dear Leader about what’s going on!” trope, as if Trump (or Russian President Vladimir Putin) give a rattling about any of this. They’re the explanation issues are all screwed up!
There have been additionally a number of movies on TikTok, corresponding to this, exhibiting the drama.
So these stranded jokers saved developing with excuses for his or her man’s incompetence.
I deleted the posts as a result of I hoped some assist would come from it, however all it did was trigger drama. Many poor individuals had been stranded final night time and it had all the pieces to do with the bus fuel stations not having any gas. The buses needed to drive half-hour out to seek out gas and lots of didn’t return and a few received stranded themselves looking for gas. Then the CHP ordered the bus drivers to cease driving. This all got here from the bus drivers updating us as we sat on the bus asking what occurred. They and the Sheriffs had been all simply as confused as we had been. My story stands, however the drama received out of hand.
Ah, the buses ran out of fuel, did they? Gosh, if solely there have been institutions close by to provide these transportation automobiles with the required gas.
On Google Maps, I counted 4 fuel stations inside two miles of the venue, and 13 inside 5 miles. A type of places is a Love’s, which is actually a truck cease.
However right here’s the factor—this Trump supporter ended up deleting his outraged tweets as a result of his personal Trump-supporting allies had been haranguing him for making Trump look dangerous. That’s what he meant by “caus[ing] drama.”
Having stranded hundreds within the sizzling desert, Trump and his marketing campaign can’t even be bothered to subject an apology to their very own individuals. They had been used, abused, and tossed apart.
On the plus facet, by holding his personal supporters hostage, nobody might depart the rally early.
So so far as Trump is anxious, mission achieved.
