In a recent campaign rally in Las Vegas, Donald Trump made a lighthearted comment about not caring about the comfort of his supporters due to the high temperatures.
Both Trump and Joe Biden, the 2020 presidential candidates, continue to campaign enthusiastically leading up to the November election. Even former President Obama joined in by speaking to supporters at an outdoor Sunset Park rally.
As the temperature rose to a scorching 100 degrees, Trump quipped about the heat and the breeze in the air during his speech. He humorously stated that he only cared about securing every voter’s support, disregarding their well-being.
Some criticized Trump’s remarks, with individuals like Harry Sisson and Malcolm Kenyatta highlighting the perceived lack of empathy in his words.
Despite the intense heat, Trump assured attendees that provisions were in place to address any health concerns, and he even joked about sweating in solidarity with the crowd.
Hours after the rally, a medical emergency incident occurred at the venue, underscoring the challenges of hosting outdoor events in extreme weather conditions.
Trump’s campaign took precautions to mitigate the heat, including setting up cooling tents and allowing attendees to bring small umbrellas for shade.
Heat-related health issues at political rallies have become a point of concern, as demonstrated by a recent incident in Phoenix where several individuals were hospitalized due to heat exhaustion.
