Donald Trump spread lies and insulted Vice President Kamala Harris during a campaign rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday.

He was joined by an army of speakers including vice presidential candidate and Ohio Senator JD Vance, Speaker Mike Johnson, former New York mayor and Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Donald Trump Jr. and billionaire Elon Musk, and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

Doors opened at 12pm ET and continued until 8:30pm. Hundreds of Trump supporters, unable to enter the packed arena, gathered outside the venue, where they watched the rally on an LED screen.

Trump’s rally in Manhattan comes as Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, announced a swing state blitz in the final days before Election Day. They will crisscross the country to visit all seven battleground states, with Harris traveling to Philadelphia on Sunday before both travel to Wisconsin and Michigan on Monday.

An enthusiastic Michelle Obama on Saturday lambasted Trump as a “convicted felon” who was “obviously at risk of mental decline” and a “predator convicted of sexual abuse” as she campaigned for Harris in Michigan.

The former first lady stunned in Kalamazoo with a speech in which she told the crowd she had “real” fears for “our country.”

Ricky Martin, Republican lawmakers push back against MAGA podcaster’s racist comments about Puerto Rico

Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin urged Americans to vote for Kamala Harris after Tony Hinchcliffe, a MAGA podcaster who opened Donald Trump’s rally on Sunday, called Puerto Rico a “floating island of trash” and made vulgar and racist comments about Latinos made.

“This is what they think about us,” he wrote in Spanish to his 18.6 million Instagram followers. “Vote for @kamalaharris.”

He wasn’t the only one upset by the podcaster’s comments; Two Republican lawmakers representing Latinos also rejected his comments.

Rep. Jenniffer González-Colón, Puerto Rico’s non-voting member of Congress and a Republican, called the comments “despicable, unwise and disgusting.”

She went on to say that there was “no place for such vile and racist comments like these.”

Senator Rick Scott and Representative Maria Salazar also criticized the comments in a statement.

“This rhetoric does not reflect the values ​​of the Republican Party,” Salazar wrote. “Puerto Rico sent more than 48,000 soldiers to Vietnam and received over 345 Purple Hearts. This courage deserves respect.”

Melania Trump makes a shocking appearance at her husband’s rally at Madison Square Garden

Melania Trump took the stage at her husband’s New York rally to Guns n’ Roses’ “Paradise City” and then launched into a dark but misguided diatribe about how bad things are in the Big Apple – and the rest of the country.

GnR frontman Axl Rose has spoken out against Donald Trump using the band’s songs without permission in his public appearances.

“Hello Madison Square Garden!” The former First Lady initially called the metropolis “the undisputed industrial capital of the world, where giants of finance, fashion and entertainment come together.” New York is a “ruthless” city, Melania continued, apparently showing compassion with the audience about how “our lives are complicated even at the best of times.”

Trump says Kamala Harris is “just a vessel” for the “radical left machine” and warns again of an “enemy from within.”

Donald Trump has once again used the phrase “enemy within” to describe an unnamed, unknown group of political opponents who he claims are secretly running the Democratic Party.

He said that Vice President Kamala Harris is “just a vessel” of the “radical left machine.”

Harris was largely rejected by progressive voters during her presidential campaign – a group generally considered further to the left than mainstream Democrats – and spent much of her professional life as a prosecutor.

Trump says we are “very close to World War III” and absurdly suggested that conscription would be reinstated under Harris

Donald Trump claimed the US was “very close to World War III” and said the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7 would not have happened if he had been president.

“All of these people would be alive,” Trump claimed.

He then turned to inflation, claiming that there was no inflation under his presidency. He said inflation was caused in part by too much government spending on the “Green New Scam” – referring to the Green New Deal – which is false.

Trump then suggested that Kamala Harris would lead the US into another war and baselessly suggested that conscription could be reinstated under her leadership.

There is no evidence that the draft will be reintroduced.

Trump said he “got along” with world leaders and claimed he told Russian President Vladimir Putin not to “go into Ukraine.”
