US election: Puerto Rico is described as ‘floating island of garbage’ by comedian at New York event
For one night only, then, at Maga-son Square Garden. Only time and historic perspective will measure the significance of this strange Sunday on the streets around the famous bowl-shaped theatre on Eighth Avenue., his Manhattan rally will be interpreted as a publicity masterstroke, sucking up all the oxygen of election coverage on the penultimate weekend when the polls are deadlocked and nerves are fraught. If he loses, it may be remembered as his last mass public appearance.
The Hulk was one of a motley crew of Trump-ites who now stand in the first rank of Trump surrogates, and they were all on show here, from RFK jnr to Elon Musk to former mayor of New York Rudy Giuliani. In truth, the crowd outside scarcely stretched to the Dunkin’ Donuts down the street. But those who did stay heard Trump promise: “This will be America’s new golden age. It is going to happen quickly too. Very quickly.”One of those in the crowd outside was a supporter who gave his name as Pryme Minister, who had travelled down from Connecticut.
“I think this is the death of the Democratic Party. And call a spade a spade, the black community has been exploited by the Democratic Party for years. Truth be told, the Republican Party is for the advancement of coloured people and all people. Trump is bringing black people, white people, Latino, Asian people together.”
Nearby, Billy Park, who had travelled from Massachusetts, carried a placard protesting ‘boys in girls’ sport’. Within minutes, the Democratic Party released a social media video of a conversation between its vice-president pick, Tim Walz, and New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. “Who is that jackwad?” Walz asked as soon as he heard the remark, nodding as Ocasio-Cortez said: “When you have some A-hole calling Puerto Rico floating garbage, know that that is what they think about you.
But nothing was going to spoil Donald Trump’s homecoming. His speech did not detour much from the standard vision of a great country brought to its knees by the radical left and murderous immigrants, along with promises to restore it to its former greatness. It was obvious he was enjoying his Garden debut.
