A surprisingly well-populated genre of internet rumor deals with photographs and videos supposedly showing trash left behind after major public events, such as a parade, concert, or political rally. On 19 June 2019, we came across yet another piece of media that supposedly showed lawn chairs, coolers, and garbage littered across a field outside of the Amway Center in Orlando, Fla., where U.S. President Donald Trump had kicked off his 2020 presidential campaign the night before: Before Trump took the stage to officially kick off his 2020 campaign, his supporters gathered outside of the center for a 45 Fest. The all-day tailgate featured live music, food trucks, rain, and plenty of Trump memorabilia. When it was time for the crowd to move inside for Trump's speech, many attendees left their chairs, and trash, outside on the lawn, as Orlando TV station WOFL reported: Much of the footage in the above-displayed video can be seen in local news reports about the event. A small gallery of photographs of the items left behind after the rally can also be viewed on Orlando Sentinel. A video report from WOFL can be viewed below: One should note a major cleanup is almost always required after a large public gathering. WESH-TV in Orlando reported that Orlando's contract with Trump's campaign stipulated that the city would be responsible for all clean-up after the event, but that Trump's campaign would be responsible for the bill.
