Trump busses MAGA cultists five miles from parking lot to Coachella rally. Guess what happened after the rally?

Considering how many people leave his rallies, They probably figured they’d only need three buses when this one was over.

I’m suddenly less worried about Trump’s plan to deport millions of people to other countries.

A suspicious person was detained at the Coachella Trump rally. Aside from fraudulent license plates, he was found in possession of multiple passports, several weapons, and multiple driver’s licenses.

Oh, and he’s a registered Republican who “ran for Nevada State Assembly, District 13 in the 2022 election cycle.”

Gave off Sovereign Citizen vibes. The County Sheriff _believes_ they prevented the next Trump assassination attempt.

If you bus people to the middle of nowhere, they _can’t_ leave the rally.

Sounds like whoever made the arrangements were the same people who made the arrangements for Giuliani at Four Seasons Total Landscaping.

Oh, noes! Those poor 100,000 people! I’m sure Trump was on Truth Social immediately to reassure them about everything he was doing to save them. What? Oh, he just moved on to the next suckers? Ok.

Buses use diesel fuel.  
From the rally to the parking lot was only 10 miles.  
They’re buses; they can drive to a nearby town to refuel, and come back.  
They had loads of time while Trump was speaking. It’s not like it was a surprise that all these people would need rides.

I expect them to try a few more excuses before they find one that people will swallow.

How often do busses need to refuel? Every few miles? Total BS. “All the busses ran out of fuel at the same time and all the gas stations all ran out at the same time as well”.

Maybe the Monkey Wrench Gang have been reactivated and are setting their sights on the biggest potential environmental catastrophe since they dammed up the Colorado.
