Donald Trump’s ego-rallies don’t seem well-prepared lately with overflowing toilets and MAGA supporters leaving garbage everywhere. In addition to leaving a disgusting mess behind at his MAGA hat-fests, there’s a lengthy list of cities that have been stiffed by Trump’s campaign for the costs incurred during a rally. In late October of last year, the Trump campaign owed over $1 million in outstanding bills.
Washington Correspondent for New York Magazine Olivia Nuzzi took to Twitter to describe Trump’s rally in Iowa as a “shitshow.” The press was forced to wait outside for over an hour in 30-degree weather while staffers intermittently came out and yelled at the reporters, before permanently shutting the doors.
Trump rally in Iowa is a total logistical shitshow. Dozens of pre-credentialed members of the press were forced to wait outside for over an hour (it’s 30 degrees) while staffers intermittently came out and yelled at us. Then, with no explanation, they permanently shut the doors.

And to be clear, I’m talking about press that was pre-credentialed and received and abided by the guidance sent by the campaign. I’m not talking about people who showed up late or didn’t have the proper clearance from the campaign.

From there, Nuzzi described the common practices at Trump’s rallies.
Since 2015, the Trump campaign has made it a practice to give out more tickets than rally venues have seats—overselling is a classic optics trick.

It gets worse.
Tonight the press saw the danger that can pose when an elderly woman was stuck outside with a man in a wheelchair, freezing. She didn’t understand how, if she had a ticket and her family saved them seats inside, security could deny them entry.

Trump supporters love seeing the press treated like shit.
To be clear, i’d rather see regular Americans inside than elitist media brats who are entitled.

Perhaps that Trumpster didn’t read Nuzzi’s entire thread. As she noted, an elderly couple had tickets, and yet, they were denied entry and left out in the cold, too. Cruelty is the point with this administration, and so is chaos.
