Trump Declares War on Immigration at NYC Rally

United States: Donald Trump is running for president again and spoke at a big rally at Madison Square Garden. He talked a lot about his plan to remove many migrants from the U.S. right away if he wins, saying there is an “immigrant invasion.” He wants to make strong changes on his first day in office. 

 While his supporters respond to Democrats labeling him a “fascist” and an illiberal president–in–waiting owing to advice of his ex–chief of staff John Kelly, Trump on Sunday gave a tirade that could signal the most vengeful presidency should he triumph over Democratic nominee Kamala Harris on November 3. 

“The United States is an occupied country,” Trump said, as Democrats plastered the facades of the vibrant New York City landmark with messages that read “Trump is Getting Worse: Trump praised Hitler” and “Trump is Unhinged.”

As reported by the CNN politics, the massive protest’ is a campaign kick-off of the last lap of Trump’s attempt at one of the most shocking turnaround stories of the American political scene as he sought to reverse the result of the previous poll and only leave office in shame in 2021.  

To put it mildly, some of the ex-president’s avid promoters hurled race-based and vulgar language before he spoke. One, former congressional candidate David Rem, referred to Harris as ‘the antichrist’ and ‘the devil’, others spewed wrath to Hillary Clinton, ‘illegals’ and the homeless. Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe once referred to the place simply, yet notoriously, as a “floating island of garbage”. 

Trump campaign officials distanced themselves from the message the following day, with political campaign analyst Danielle Alvarez affirming in a statement to CNN that “This joke does not represent President Trump or the campaign.” 

Bur almost every word, which Trump uttered, was accompanied by lies and hypes. It was precisely this kind of language Harris’ campaign thinks might swing moderate voters and any disgruntled Republicans toward choosing the vice president.  

But it also symbolizes a wager from the Republican nominee that he can mobilize an extreme base and inspire people, who rarely go to polls, with an exception of the particular campaign time, who share the similar views as him.
