But as long lines of MAGA-clad attendees queued up for buses to take them to distant parking lots, it quickly became clear something was wrong.
The buses, the huge crowd soon learned, couldn’t navigate the jammed airport roads. For hours, attendees — including many elderly Trump supporters — stood in the cold, as police scrambled to help those most at-risk get to warmth.
At least seven people were taken to hospitals, according to Omaha Scanner, which monitors official radio traffic. Police and fire authorities didn’t immediately return messages from The Washington Post early Wednesday and declined to provide reporters on the scene with precise numbers of how many needed treatment.
Soon, officers were radioing in about numerous elderly attendees struggling in the cold, according to Omaha Scanner. Police began shuttling some people to their cars to get them out of the elements.
“As we were walking, I saw at least two Omaha Police officers helping people who were getting cold, one elderly lady and a young boy,”

The sinking of the Trump Navy boats on Lake Travis, and the stranding of elderly Deplorables in the freezing cold are the perfect metaphors for the Trump era.

It's all Trump's fault. Just ask any Leftist and they'll tell you so...

Wrong... The best planning can still go wrong. They had busses available but the traffic jammed them up. Trump can't make each person attending wear appropriate clothing for the weather either. That's an individual responsibility. Yet, people like you blame the guy for everything wrong that happens. "OW! I stubbed my toe! It's all Trump's fault!" That sort of nonsense.
If this had happened to a Biden rally they could have loaded the entire crowd in a Smart Car and driven them to safety.

Looks like they had massively unexpected crowds at that airport. I wonder why?

He literally left them in the cold.
Is there a more apt metaphor for this disaster?
When I die, turn me into a brick and use me to cave in the skull of a fascist

It's almost like he was popular or something.
