COACHELLA, CALIFORNIA: Donald Trump reportedly left his own supporters, including the elderly, stranded in the desert after a campaign rally in Southern California on Saturday, October 12.

While speaking at the Coachella rally, the former president sparked outrage by apparently endorsing violence against women after being heckled by an attendee, as per Raw Story

More unpleasantness awaited the rallygoers, as many were left stranded in the desert as buses that had transported them to the venue seemingly failed to return after the event ended. 

Videos show the struggle of Donald Trump Coachella rally attendees in the desert

The Tennessee Holler took to X (formerly Twitter) to share on Sunday, "MAGA faithful were stranded after Trump’s Coachella rally last night, including many elderly folks. Bussed in but not bussed out."



 

The post included a video, where a Trump rally attendee was heard saying, "This isn't normal. Apparently, the buses are no longer coming. It's just chaos, absolute chaos. All of us are stranded here. Everyone is stranded here."

The person claimed that "something went wrong," adding, "There's supposed to be like 20 busses here. Everyone is starting to freak out... The parking lot is a two-hour walk."

A second video was shared by social marketing CEO Faith M Jackson that showed people calling for a medic while waiting for transportation.

"How the tiny tRump Rally started and ended in Coachella. They had to figure out how to get to their cars in Indio because they were stranded," read the caption.



 

Internet slams Donald Trump for leaving his supporters stranded

Netizens reacting to the news on X called out Donald Trump for failing to provide adequate transportation to rallygoers. 

One wrote, "(Donald Trump) cares so little about his #MAGA fans that he'd only give them a one-way ride to his clown show. Quite the metaphor," and another said, "MAGA thinks this man is going to mass deport millions of undocumented immigrants, yet he can’t get a couple thousand of his supporters out of the desert. Vote for Trump, he will literally leave you stranded."

"Psst MAGA: they don't actually care about you - they just wanted you for the photo-op crowd," expressed a person, while someone else asked, "How can they expect him to run the country if he can't handle a rally?"

"If you can’t organize transportation for your most loyal fan base, what does that tell you about Trump’s interest in serving those of us that know he’s a useless conman?" inquired an individual. 

"Symbolic but meaningful. He doesn’t care about anyone. Wake up," read a comment.
