During a rally at Madison Square Garden, trump presented his determined campaign for the second round in the white house on anti-immigrant sentiments. Where he lightened his pledge for a sweeping deportation initiative on his first day in office to combat what he termed as an immigrant invasion. During his speech on Monday, he signified the radical presidency if he defeated his opponent Kamala Harris. Furthermore, his allies that are going against him call him a fascist and an authoritarian just like Kelly said that he would lead like Hitler because he has that kind of system in his mind. Elections are going to be held on November 5. On that day, the future of America will be decided.
The United States is an occupied country,’ Trump proclaimed as Democrats displayed messages on the exterior of the iconic venue, including ‘Trump is Unhinged’ and ‘Trump praised Hitler.’ This major rally was organized as the kickoff for the final stage of Trump’s attempt to orchestrate one of the most significant comebacks in American political history, following his unsuccessful efforts to overturn the last election and his controversial exit from office in 2021.
Before his speech, several of Trump’s prominent supporters made racially charged and vulgar comments. Former congressional candidate David Rem referred to Harris as the ‘antichrist’ and “the devil,’ while others directed their ire at Hillary Clinton, immigrants, and homeless individuals. Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe described Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage.”
The Trump campaign later distanced itself from this remark, with spokesperson Danielle Alvarez commenting, ‘This joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign.’ Much of Trump’s speech was filled with inaccuracies and exaggerations, echoing rhetoric that the Harris campaign believes could sway moderate voters and disenchanted Republicans toward the vice president. Yet, it also reflects a strategy by the Republican nominee to galvanize his base and engage infrequent voters who resonate with his hardline stance.
Ultimately, Trump’s address clarified the choice confronting voters in the coming days, as Harris presents a vision for moving beyond Trump’s extreme behavior, which tested the rule of law and the constitutional boundaries of presidential power during his first term. His vehement anti-immigrant rhetoric stands as one of the most overt instances of demagoguery by a major political figure in the West since World War II. Additionally, he paired this with a sharp economic message that speaks to the frustrations of many Americans dealing with rising grocery prices despite falling inflation.
‘I’d like to begin by asking a very simple question: Are you better off now than you were four years ago?’ Trump Questioned. ‘I am here today with a message of hope for all Americans: With your vote in this election, I will end inflation. I will stop the invasion of criminals coming into our country, and I will bring back the American dream.’ He also suggested a tax credit for “family caregivers who take care of a parent or a loved one,’ paralleling Harris’s proposal for Medicare to cover home health care.
If Kamala Harris gets four more years, our economy can never recover. If I win, we will quickly build the greatest economy in the history of the world,’ he stated. Building on his inflammatory rhetoric about Mexican migrants from his 2016 campaign, Trump is now suggesting that immigrants are directly responsible for America’s economic challenges a narrative frequently utilized by far-right leaders throughout history.
