23. No one thought out the logistics

I think I read that they began busing people from the parking structure to the rally location three hours or more before he rally began - but rather that realizing it would take at least that long to bus them back, they did not plan on that amount of time plus all the people leaving the parking structure once they got to their cars, causing traffic problems.

I also read that people were complaining that it took two hours for the buses to get back after the first trip out. Uh, yeah, see my first paragraph.

As with anything connected to Trump, badly planned, poorly executed, and probably underfunded - if they funded it at all.
