...are probably the ones actually paying for them. The tweet makes it sound like it's Trump doing the funding, and just about everyone knows how much Trump hates using his own money for campaigning. Hence, Trump leaving his fans in the lurch with a one-way bus trip to his rallies. (I mean, why should he pay for anything but the bus ride there, right?). But it looks like this time, Trump found a sugar daddy who will pay the entire bill.

They might end up in Martha's Vineyard, or Sacramento.

Apparently, there is a shit-ton of grapes and lettuce in the Central Valley that needs harvesting.

It's only about 105 degrees during the day, so, wear light clothes. MAGAt hats might help your face, but you really need a minimum three-inch brimmed hat.

The MAGAts are going to link up in Orlando at 10 am and arrive in Miami at 2.

Since courts open at 9 am, this gives them five hours to arraign Trump and toss him in a holding cell before the Magat Mob gets down there.
