Why do Trump rally organizers keep stranding supporters

post event? Is he stiffing the bus companies? Sadistically attempting to make his supporters suffer in some twisted way to see how much they'll take?
Is it just planning incompetence? All of it?

I suspect that is true in his personal relationships, too, if you get my drift.

Republicans believe in self-reliance!

Of course, once Trump is done with people, he just discards them anyway.

They are there to be props for the camera and to satiate the Dotard's ravenous ego. Getting them there is high priority. Getting them home is not. Once they've served their purpose they are disposable.

That despite any evidence, the useful idiots don't matter after the fact.

If they are used up and abused, they still love him and they are simply disgusting refuse to Trump if so. He has always tossed people that don't further his agenda: unlimited power.

So long, suckers and losers.

the people behind them, and then he leaves. A big FU to his cult, but they don't care. It takes a lot of abuse for cult members to wake up, and even then, only a few ever figure it out.

Stormy told us about him. He gets what he wants. Quickly. Then he moves on. That is how he treats these crowds. They are there to appease his ego, and that is all.

Rally goers arrive in a large window of time. (In Omaha, they arrived over a period of something like 8 hours.) But when the rally ends, they leave all at once. These rallies are being held at private airfields (or the private side of public airfields), so access roads aren't built to handle the volume of simultaneous traffic + on-site parking is limited so people have to rely on being shuttled in and out. Even if they doubled or tripled the number of return busses, they couldn't bus them out much more quickly.
