Donald Trump has long been criticized for holding packed rallies with few supporters wearing masks and a lack of social distancing. Now the lack of precautions may be catching up with some of the president’s followers.

And this rally is so hot and so packed, some supporters are reportedly passing out.
It’s so hot here in Tampa (87 degrees) that there’s a truck blasting water at the back of the Trump rally crowd. Multiple people have passed out already, with supporters calling for medics every 5-10 minutes. pic.twitter.com/Iu7I2KbgYi

This comes less than two days after more than two dozen Trump supporters at an Omaha, Nebrask rally were treated for hypothermia, fatigue, and confusion after being stranded in freezing weather for hours.
