Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump headlined a rally at New York’s Madison Square Garden yesterday that began with a series of vulgar and racist remarks by allies of the former president.
Donald Trump , a New York celebrity for decades, hoped to use the event at the iconic venue known for Knicks basketball games and Billy Joel concerts to deliver his closing argument against Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, even though the state last backed a Republican presidential candidate in 1984.
Trump spoke repeatedly about his plans to halt illegal immigration and deport migrants he described as “vicious and bloodthirsty criminals” if he wins the November 5 election. On day one I will launch the largest deportation program in American history,” he said. “I will rescue every city and town that has been invaded and conquered.

Donald Trump called Harris a “very low IQ individual” and drew cheers from supporters for his tough-on-migrants rhetoric.
He vowed to ban sanctuary cities, which refuse to cooperate with the federal government in enforcing immigration laws and to invoke the 1798 Alien Enemies Act law to deport immigrants with criminal records.
A long list of opening speakers varied widely from former pro wrestler Hulk Hogan to former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani to Donald Trump ’s sons Eric and Don Jr. Some used racist and misogynistic language to warm up a capacity crowd.

But Trump’s remarks in his hometown, New York City, which went for more than an hour, were overshadowed by comments made by warm-up speakers in the roughly five hours before his prime-time address. They included a comedian’s racist jokes about Latinos and Black Americans and were condemned by multiple Republican members of Congress, as well as speakers who used increasingly inflammatory language to describe Vice President Kamala Harris.
At the World’s Most Famous Arena and before one of his largest rally crowds of the cycle, Trump railed against opponents he sees as “the enemy from within,” described the media as “the enemy of the people,” referred to Harris’ “low IQ” and described her as a “vessel” for those aforementioned opponents, and said in a potential war with China the U.S. “would kick their ass.”
“It’s just this amorphous group of people, but they’re smart and they’re vicious, and we have to defeat them,” Trump said in explaining his use of “the enemy from within.”
“And when I say the enemy from within, the other side goes crazy. … They’ve done very bad things to this country. They are indeed the enemy from within. But this is who we’re fighting,” he continued.
It was the lesser-known speakers before Trump took the stage, however, who made big waves outside the arena.
