Trump Fans Forced to Pee in Bottles While in Line for NYC Rally

Some particularly passionate fans had camped out in Manhattan overnight—in some cases, for multiple nights—in advance of the Sunday event, but were caught short after realizing there were no toilets available.

“We’re peeing in bags and little cups, and we had to put up a little portable privacy shower so people didn’t have to look at each other when they did that,” one such camper told the New York Post, having arrived for the rally on Friday morning.

While many turned to makeshift bathroom set-ups, others decided to simply avoid liquids so as not to fall victim to the call of nature.

The Post also spoke to one single parent who’d arrived at Madison Square Garden early Sunday morning with her 7-year-old daughter—who she described as a keen Trump fan.

“You just can’t drink any fluids. We got here a little after 6 a.m.... so we’re going to tough it out and not drink or eat anything. It’s kind of insane that there’s no provision at all for people who are going to be waiting this long,” the woman said.

It's kind of insane that there's people waiting this long

Maybe I'm ignorant because I can't imagine waiting that long in line to see anyone, but why would there be provisions for people waiting? Is that normal?

If you want to go wait for something wouldn't you be responsible enough to bring everything you need, to include ways to hygiene if required?

Some of the longer lines in Disney World have bathrooms along the line.

I wouldn't expect any water or food but toilets.
