Yeah people do a lot of stupid, unsafe things in Las Vegas. Not sure that’s a very good selling point.
They all walk around in the summer there and do just fine. In 22 years I never saw people passed out on the sidewalk.
Well six people at this rally had to be hospitalized among several others who had to be treated because of the heat so I’ll go with what’s being reported instead of your anecdotes, if you don’t mind. People can do whatever they want but medical experts strongly advise you shouldn’t be outside in the sun in such extreme heat unless you absolutely need to.
Not sure the "he scheduled an event when it's hot out" necessarily proves anything.
There are people who go sit in that kind of heat for sporting events. It's not exactly like it's a compulsory event.
Did people assume it wasn't going to be hot in Vegas in the summer time?
This kind of stuff happens in the hot weather, people assume those risks themselves.
16 students sent to the hospital due to heat at baseball game
PULASKI Co. , Va. (WSET) -- More than a dozen students were sent to the hospital Tuesday due to heat. Pulaski County Public Schools Superintendent Kevin Siers said sixth and seventh grade students from Pulaski and Dublin Middle Schools, along with other middle school students across the New...wset.com
Of all the things to criticize him for "He made a joke, and a few people got overheated because there was an outdoor event scheduled and it was a hot day" doesn't rank to high on the list and comes across as grasping at straws.
On the "valid complaint" scale, this one is only a notch or two above "18 people needed to use Flonase because Trump was so inconsiderate that he scheduled an event near a field of wildflowers during allergy season"
Okay, okay, orange man bad. Very very bad and evil making those poor people swelter and drop like flies while he rubbed his little hands together and twirled an invisible mustache.
....well sure (in your universe of 1) . It's good you didn't have to witness someone suffering from heat stroke.
Seems a bit odd this crisis strikes then and there, and not during all the other outdoor summer activities that take place during the summer.

Obviously Trump isn’t the one organizing and scheduling his own rallies but whoever is in charge of that clearly doesn’t care or didn’t think of the health and safety of his supporters or even Trump’s health for that matter. I doubt I could ever get you to be critical of him for anything he does but can we at least agree his rally where several people were injured by the excessive heat could have been better to hold indoors or at least at a cooler time of day?
And yet they couldn’t hold it indoors which would have made all of this much easier and far less risky particularly for more elderly attendees.
Lol. Seems like even he was wondering who was the idiot who set this up in the midday sun, in Nevada."During the rally, Trump commented on the heat, saying, "I'm up here sweating like a dog."
"It's 110, but it doesn't feel it to me, right. So, we'll stay out here for a little while. If anybody gets tired, you'll let me know. And if anybody goes down, if you start going down, we have people they'll pick you up right away. They'll throw water.""
Trump rally sees medical event as temperatures expected to top 100 degrees
Trump held an outdoor rally in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sunday as temperatures are expected to reach over 100 degrees.
Oh come on. Those who live there have been dealing with the heat for years. They know what it's like. They do stuff in it all the time. I know, I was there. People still went everywhere in it.
And still 6 people ended up in the hospital and 24 others had to be treated for the excessive heat they suffered. He and his events can literally harm people and you’ll make a million excuses for it.
The way Trump handled COVID-19 shows how week he is. He's a good person, for helping the rich get richer. And the employees get poorer.
Nonthey call it a gathering. You know how many people are treated for excessive heat in these areas every year?
Who said it was bizarre or strange? You got it backwards. I would have expected this outcome and I’m not a doctor. Heat exhaustion is to be expected in these conditions. That’s why I say it’s irresponsible or at least careless to hold such an event when there were certainly other options available.
It's the melodramatic wording I have a problem with. 105 is the average in Vegas, not excessive. And nobody was "injured". And why aren't there the same melodramatic outcries over all the other outdoor events held in Vegas during the summer, if human welfare is actually the concern?
It’s excessive enough to hospitalize several people.
You think they went to the hospital just for funsies? They needed medical attention and more so than they could get at the event. Sounds pretty serious to me but maybe you know all their conditions better than I do. I’m just going by what’s been reported.
No idea. I brought up something I felt was relevant to the thread where Trump expressed his uncaring attitude towards his own following at his Las Vegas rally.
When someone doesn't feel well someone calls an ambulance and they get taken to the hospital. That happens at large outdoor and indoor events all the time. Someone not feeling well is not an injury. This is blatantly obvious orange man bad propaganda hype.
