Liberal Heads Explode Over Trump’s Tour de Force in NYC

Liberal Heads Explode Over Trump’s Tour de Force in NYC

As much as the Left refuses to acknowledge it, something powerful, historic, and real occurred at MSG on Sunday night that the Democrats’ desperate propaganda machine won’t be able to overcome.

Between the image of former President Donald Trump pumping his fist in the air and telling supporters to “fight, fight, fight” as blood from a gunshot wound dripped from his ear, and the magnificent Republican National Convention that followed, Trump was poised for one heck of a bounce in the polls. Unfortunately, these potent events were instantly eclipsed by the news that President Joe Biden was dropping out of the race. The simultaneous launch of Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign instantly dominated the news cycle, and the assassination attempt and the triumphant convention that followed were quickly forgotten.

After 18 months of campaigning against Biden, Trump had been caught flat-footed. He watched helplessly as Democrats and their propaganda arm, the legacy media, elevated a candidate once considered to be so weak as to be a “drag on the ticket” to rockstar status.

Be that as it may, Trump may have resurrected the magic of the convention week with his tour de force on Sunday night at New York City’s iconic Madison Square Garden. From start to finish, the electricity inside the venue, the positive messages of the speakers, and yes, the genuine love for the former president by so many Americans, was palpable. No matter how hard the Left tries to spin this as a Nazi rally, the strength of this powerful, patriotic, historic occasion cannot be diminished.

But they certainly did try.

During the event, MSNBC’s chyron read: “Trump’s MSG rally comes 85 years after pro-Nazi rally at famed arena.” The network informed viewers that “like Nazis 85 years ago, Trump is turning Madison Square Garden into a staging ground for extremism.”

A headline at NBC read, “Trump’s Madison Square Garden event turns into a rally with crude and racist insults.” Another read, “As Trump courts their vote, comedian at his rally makes racist jokes about Latinos and Puerto Rico.”

Not to be outdone, the Democratic National Committee projected the message “TRUMP PRAISED HITLER” outside the Madison Square Garden building. Later, they switched their message to “TRUMP=UNHINGED.”

Naturally, The New York Times hopped on the bandwagon. Describing the event as “A Closing Carnival of Grievances, Misogyny and Racism,” the Times wrote: “The inflammatory rally was a capstone for an increasingly aggrieved campaign for Donald Trump, whose rhetoric has grown darker and more menacing.”

The legacy media even took aim at an artist, Scott LoBaido, who did a live painting at the event while “America the Beautiful” played in the background. The press instantly made a connection between LoBaido and Hitler, whom you may recall, also painted.

Thousands of events have been held at the storied arena since the 1939 Nazi rally. MSG is the home of the New York Knicks and the New York Rangers. “Countless other sporting events, from boxing to rodeo to dog shows” take place there. I recall attending the Ice Capades as well as the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus there as a child.

Apparently Democrats have forgotten that their party nominated Presidents John F. Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton at MSG.

Democrats and the media truly beclowned themselves over this rally. They know that Harris’s momentum stalled at the worst possible time and that Trump has made up a lot of ground over the past three weeks. Trump has also dominated the headlines for the past week. His brief stint as a fry cook at the Feasterville-Trevose, Pennsylvania, McDonald’s last weekend caused a liberal meltdown which kept the story alive for days. Next, his successful and widely reported three-hour interview with top podcast host Joe Rogan on Friday was viewed by tens of millions of voters. And Trump’s rally at MSG was the coup de grace.

As much as the Left refuses to acknowledge it, something powerful, historic, and real occurred at MSG on Sunday night that the Democrats’ desperate propaganda machine won’t be able to overcome. Harris’s forthcoming bitter, negative closing address on the Ellipse will fall flat as she is revealed for the total fraud she is.

Trump needs a decisive victory next Tuesday to drive a stake right through the heart of the toxic ideology that has hijacked the Democratic Party and his tour de force on Sunday night will go a long way toward making that happen.

Not only did something powerful, historic, and real occur at MSG on Sunday night but it occurred right in the Democrats back yard.

Can you imagine another time when a Republican rally like this could have occurred in deepest darkest Democrat country?

    Milhouse in reply to mailman. | October 28, 2024 at 8:14 pm

    The 2004 Republican Convention was at MSG. And many previous GOP conventions have been held in “deepest, darkest Democrat country” such as Milwaukee (this year), Cleveland (2016), St Paul (2008), and Philadelphia (2000).

    When I asked Siri about Bill Clinton at MSG, here is want came up: Trump Rally Vulgar and racist, Confederate Anthem at Trump Rally, and Trump Rally Offensive and Crude. Yeah Siri is neutral. But more and more people are on the the deliberate manipulation of algorithms. I was there and it was great. Real people willing to wait hours to hear from people who really understand their issues. In New York City. So empowering to wear a MAGA hat here!

In this country, everyone who wants to have a rally can have a rally. Therefore:

Trump has a rally
Harris has no rally

Result: The one who has a rally is criticized by the one who has no rally.

    When you are the Democrats and all you’ve got is murdering babies as your platform (abortion) as opposed to protecting our border and fixing our economy you’re going to lose….unless you cheat like crazy.

      A Punk Named Yunk in reply to Ghostrider. | October 29, 2024 at 3:47 pm

      Ghostrider, don’t forget the primary linchpin (Whoa! Was that a racist reference?) of the Harris campaign: ORANGE MAN BAD! (A bit like “four legs good, two legs bad”, don’t’cha think?)

While libtards are getting triggered by Trump’s ‘Hitleresque” rally, their supporters are actually pulling triggers and shooting elderly Jewish men walking to Synagogues in Chicago. The latest shooter is – get this – an illegal alien from North Africa who illegally crossed our southern border sometime last year.

I noted on X that in all the pictures I saw of the MSG rally, the only swastikas and references to Hitler I saw were on MSNBC. There were Israeli flags hung in MSG for the rally.

That speaks volumes.

And Homeland probably tracked every cell phone, just in case Harris is elected.

    And that one was in the same buidling as the Nazi rally, unlike Trump’s.

      I hate this site’s comment engine sometimes. My comment does not belong here. WHY IS IT HERE!?

      The Gentle Grizzly in reply to McGehee 🇺🇲 Trump 2024. | October 29, 2024 at 9:54 am

      Maybe not. I think the Monosodium Gl… Madison Square Garden of old was replaced more recently than 1939.

      (Bingety Bingety Bing Bing) Here it is: “Originally called Madison Square Garden Center, the Garden opened on February 11, 1968, and is the oldest major sporting facility in the New York metropolitan area.”

pablo panadero | October 28, 2024 at 3:59 pm

You would think that the mainstream media would know that the current Madison Square Garden is actually the 4th venue with this name. The first two were actually located in Madison Square and were built in the 19th century. The third was built in 1925 (not in Madison Square) and the fourth at a different location in 1968. So it is not accurate to say that this is the same venue as a Nazi rally 80-some years ago. It would be accurate to say that JFK accepted the 1960 Democratic nomination at the same spot as the Hitler rally, but not Trump’s rally did not occur in the same venue.

This pushing the Nazi term makes them 1940 Communists.
They are shaking in their shoes the turnout in their stronghold.

The 1960 Democratic Convention at which John F Kennedy accepted the nomination was held in Los Angeles, not in New York City.

    Elizabeth Stauffer in reply to Truejim. | October 29, 2024 at 6:14 am

    I apologize. I should have doublechecked it. You’re right.
    “In 1962, John F. Kennedy celebrated his birthday at a Democratic Party fundraising gala held at Madison Square Garden in New York City, where Marilyn Monroe famously sang “Happy Birthday” to him on stage; this event is widely remembered for her performance.”

Kamala can hold her own MSG rally. See who shows up..

the msm explained:

trump is a different kind of nazi

he is a pro american nazi
he says america #1
he wants americas security to be strong against invaders
including financial terrorists

the aa museum calls out white people as naturally born racists and we must believe all blmplo

The new tempest in a teapot about the lame joke about Puerto Rico. Ok… for all those Puerto Ricans in the US upset with that I ask one question… “Why are you here?” Why? Better jobs? Better living conditions? More opportunities? More Democrat welfare handouts? Poorly run Democrat party stronghold?

You cannot hate these Dhimmi-crat media shills/trained seals/lapdogs/sycophants/stenographers/propagandists enough.

Every day, they sink to new lows of vindictiveness, self-debasement, dishonesty and bile.

    A Punk Named Yunk in reply to guyjones. | October 29, 2024 at 3:53 pm

    We decry how the Dems call half the country deplorables and Naz1s. But can we say about the half of the country voting Democrat no matter the obvious failures, fulfilling the role of Lenin’s “useful idiots”?

As others have pointed out, the 1960 Democrat convention was in LA, not MSG. Dem conventions at MSG were in 1924, 1976, 1980, and 1992.

The picture of “President John F. Kennedy attending his Nazi Rally at Madison Square Garden in 1962” is obviously not at his nominating convention, which was in 1960! In fact it was his 45th birthday party, which was held on May 19 (10 days early) at MSG, as a fundraising gala for the Democrats. You can read about it here.

Trump had a reasonable chance to win right up until Sundays Madison Square Garden rally.

The Trump campaign deciding that that tasteless and racist “joke” about Puerto Rico would help the campaign is the biggest blunder I can ever recall.

Harris has to either trick people or pay them to show up, Trump has a rally in deepest blue NYC and 20,000 show up. That’s what the corporate press is angry about.

    Milhouse in reply to diver64. | October 29, 2024 at 1:35 am

    Plus nearly 80,000 in the overflow.

      diver64 in reply to Milhouse. | October 29, 2024 at 6:02 am

      I’ve read “several times the crowd in attendance” but no estimates. Those are hard to do especially in a city. However, it’s been clear to me that his crowds dwarf Harris’s. For a Nazi Rally to have a bunch of Jewish flags flying is an odd way to do one. This over the top hysterical crap out of the Dems and corporate press isn’t helping Harris in any way. People are inoculated to it by now and pay no attention. 37,000,000 have tuned into the JRE/Trump interview to see the fascist Hitler and were sorely disappointed to see a guy talk about UFO’s, what it’s like to be President and MMA

When the 1939 rally took place, the Nuremberg Laws had been in place for years, the German military had been rebuilt, the persecution of Jews in Germany had reached frightening proportions, Kristallnacht had taken place. the Nazis had already taken over Czechoslovakia and Austria and the US government was making it almost impossible for Jews to take refuge in the United States while the British had virtually ended the immigration of Jews to Palestine.

The spectacle of 20,000 Nazi sympathizers rallying at Madison Square Garden was a truly frightening spectacle. In response, thousands of protesters were poised outside the rally, separated from Madison Square Garden by dozens of police officers. My 5’2″ tall mother was part of the protest, armed with a rolled up newspaper, prepared to do battle with the Nazi sympathizers at the rally. It was a terrifying time to be a Jew anywhere in the world.

In Trump’s rally, there were thousands of Jewish supporters, some waving Israeli flags. Lining the streets for blocks were Trump supporters, including many Jews who had witnessed a year of virulent anti Jewish hatred at the almost daily rallies on college campuses and in the streets of New York. To compare Trump’s rally to the 1939 Nazi rally is beyond obscene. In 1939, the Democrats condemned the Nazi rally. Today’s Democratic Party base is one of the centers of anti-Zionism in America, a proportion of which is outright antisemitic.

By comparing Trump’s rally to the 1939 Nazi rally, Walz is essentially saying that Trump’s supporters are Nazis. The irony of that is rich since he was chosen as the VP candidate because Kamala Harris thought it would be politically problematic to have the Jewish governor of Pennsylvania as her running mate

    SpeakUpNow in reply to Jonathan Cohen. | October 29, 2024 at 1:03 pm

    Right on J. Cohen. And there were Jews holding up a large Israeli Flag and Jews laying tefillin
    (religious holy cords) and cheers when remarks were made about supporting Israel. Not to mention lots of ethnic groups represented. Beyond obscene to compare this to a Nazi rally. The Dems must really be panicking now to resort to this level of vile rhetoric when they were the ones ignoring their Jewish constituency. Shout out to Elise Stefanik who was particularly good at addressing anti-Semitism. Go Elise!

Puerto Rico Landfill Problems: All You Need to Know
 https://www.ecorichenv.com/article/puerto-rico-landfill-problems
According to a study commissioned by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and conducted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Puerto Rico could run out of landfill space in 2-4 years. This long-identified capacity issue has been exacerbated by tonnes of debris left behind by two back-to-back hurricanes that devastated the region in 2017.

    The Gentle Grizzly in reply to Neo. | October 29, 2024 at 10:41 am

    I was stationed in PR in 1980. The whole place is a landfill. The roadsides are littered with abandoned cars, broken refrigerators, laundry machinery, furniture, and household rubbish.

    alaskabob in reply to Neo. | October 29, 2024 at 1:23 pm

    The joke was about the island… not the people. As for the people that left the island.. the reasons are obvious.

    Milhouse in reply to neils. | October 29, 2024 at 5:06 pm

    Probably because it only happened that one night. Someone would have had to call 311 to complain, and then probably no one would have looked at the complaint until the next morning, by which time the violation was over. The city does take action when the violation is ongoing.

Jaundiced Observer | October 29, 2024 at 12:06 pm

Huey Long was once asked if he thought that America would be fascist.

The Kingfish replied, “Yes, but we’ll call it antifascism.”

The main was a prophet.

Hillary is running around pushing this “Nazi Rally” schtick. I guess she expects the majority of Americans to forget she was on stage at the MSG when her husband Bill and VP Gore accepted the nomination from their party.
