At New York’s Madison Square Garden on Sunday night, Donald Trump and his supporters held an intense rally, marked by controversial remarks on immigration and attacks on political adversaries. Just over a week before the election, Trump used the event to reaffirm his pledge to implement “the largest deportation program in American history” and depicted his campaign as a fight against “the enemy within.”
The rally, which some compared to a divisive 1939 pro-Nazi gathering at the same venue, drew parallels from Tim Walz, Kamala Harris's running mate, who claimed it echoed that infamous event. In response, the Democratic National Committee displayed projections outside Madison Square Garden quoting a former Trump official who claimed Trump had “praised Hitler.”
Throughout the event, Trump and various speakers made statements targeting immigrants and political opponents. In particular, podcaster Tony Hinchliffe’s disparaging remarks about Puerto Rico drew immediate backlash, with Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin urging followers to support Harris. Trump’s statements about “savage Venezuelan gangs” and claims about Biden’s response to natural disasters also raised concerns about misinformation.
Despite his contentious rhetoric, Trump’s third New York rally this year underlines his ongoing, albeit tense, connection to his hometown.
