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.
In a line of compassionate people, the one behind would recognize the commitment of having showed up days early, and would be willing to save one’s place long enough for a pee.
In a line of trustworthy people, the promise “I’ll bring you back a bagel” would be a transaction worth saving a place for.
These people are neither.
