During the 2024 campaign season, critics frequently highlighted the mess left behind after rallies, and it continued after Trump’s inauguration parade.

“‘Make america great again!!!' they scream as they actively destroy it in every way possible,” one person commented on a viral photo from a college rally.
Another said, “I'm convinced the people who attend Trump rallies were raised in a barn.”
“Its a straight up reflection of the type of people they are, no empathy. dont care about the planet or others. just s****y people,” one Reddit user said about the rallies.

Despite drawing over 100,000 participants, the park and surrounding areas remained clean.
Photographs shared online showed demonstrators leaving no visible trash behind.
“I live in a much smaller town, and I stayed late to pick up any trash left behind, but there was hardly any. That made me happy. This here makes me really happy,” one person wrote about the photos.

“We love America and want to make Her better. Conservatives hate America and want to destroy Her,” another said.
However, some people were criticized for their behavior at the rally. A Chicago elementary school teacher mocked the assassination of Kirk.
The teacher, Lucy Martinez, was filmed putting her finger to her neck and mimicking a gun gesture as a man drove by waving a flag honoring Kirk.
As she made the gesture, she said, “Bang, bang.”
