‘Absolute chaos’ as Trump supporters ‘left stranded’
after Coachella rally hit by assassination scare
Story by James Liddell • 3h • 3 min read
(The Independent)
Donald Trump supporters were left “stranded” for hours
in sweltering conditions at the Coachella Valley rally
impacted by a suspected assassination attempt on the
former president.
The Republican presidential nominee spoke in California
on Saturday at an event plagued with issues from the
offset.
Along with Trump facing an altercation with a heckler,
an armed Las Vegas man who held ID documents under
multiple names was arrested outside the rally.
Authorities claim Trump may have been the target of a
third assassination attempt in as many months.
While thousands of supporters were bussed into Calhoun
Ranch, which was situated about five miles away from
where they parked their vehicles, people attending
claimed the event organizers had neglected transport
for the return journey.
And instead of being shuttled away from the venue after
Trump exited the stage at about 7pm PT following a
near-90-minute address, many attendees were left
stranded in 93F heat, according to video footage on
social media.

Thousands of people were stranded after the Trump rally
in Coachella on Saturday night. The Trump campaign
provided buses to bring people to the rally but no
busses showed up to take them back to their cars.
Trump doesn't care about anyone but himself (video

“Apparently the buses are no longer coming,” said one
attendee in the clip taken more than three hours after
the rally had concluded.
“There used to be like 20 buses when we were being
brought here, but now there’s only like three buses
operating.”
He added: “It’s just chaos, absolute chaos. All of us
are stranded here, everyone is stranded here.”
Another clip posted to X, which had since been deleted,
saw a rally-goer reportedly claim that there was “only
one bus in rotation” which took half an hour for each
drop off.
In the footage, flashing lights from police cars
illuminate the disgruntled faces of Trump supporters
seemingly left behind, with one heard condemning the
organizer’s “failures” that had led to the delay in
being returned to the parking lot.
Sharing the video footage on X, The Tennessee Holler
claimed that many of those left waiting for transport
to the car park were elderly.
Trump has yet to publicly speak of the bussing debacle,
but claimed on Truth Social that 100,000 people turned
out for the rally in the typically blue stronghold – a
state which Vice President Kamala Harris currently
leads by almost 27 percent, according to polling by The
Hill.
However, a permit issued for the event by Riverside
County was said to have capped the capacity to 15,000,
according to local news outlet Desert Sun.
The former president’s campaign has faced a slew of
backlash online for the purported organizational
errors.
“@realDonaldTrump can’t run a rally, and you think he
can run the country?,” wrote The Mic Podcast host Ryan
Shead. “He doesn’t care about his supporters. You think
he cares about you?”
While the Republicans Against Trump account added:
“Thousands of people were stranded after the Trump
rally in Coachella on Saturday night. The Trump
campaign provided buses to bring people to the rally
but no busses showed up to take them back to their
cars.
“Trump doesn’t care about anyone but himself.”
The Independent has contacted the Trump campaign for
more information.

They'd done what he needed them to do...he no longer needs
them...so they became expendable and invisible...
...like literally *everyone else* will be, who's seen
similarly...
I guess Republicans are a-okay with that...each of them
rock solid in knowing their value to him is
unquestionable...
...right guys/gals? lol
