Coachella is a town not just a music festival. Also it’s in the Coachella Valley. Just fyi. Fuck trump

Yes, that’s the point of the post. Trump and his campaign staff could not have tried harder to imply they were using the Coachella festival grounds for Trump’s “100k” event but it actually took place at a random shithole in the Coachella valley that’s a fraction of the size. But thank you for explaining it a second time and for including another map, the first one clearly wasn’t enough to illustrate the point that Coachella is a place in California and not just the name of a music festival.

Yeah, I don't get the point of this post. Even if it was the same place, it's just a field when the festival is not on, there's nothing special about it.

Thanks for the clarification! Never heard of the place or the festival. Or the trump rally, for that matter. Also fuck OP for being an obnoxious prick to you in response to this useful clarification
