| What happens if he loses? |
Why the election is so close?
1. White people
2. Israel
3. More of the same or more chaos.
4. The junk food media not holding former president Donald J. Trump accountable for his antics.
Sunday was the closing message of an extremely controversial presidential campaign.
Some see this as the 1939 Nazi Convention. The former president picked the venue in a state he lost by 30 points. Even though upstate counties, Staten Island and counties on Long Island, New York swing for Trump, the four borroughs that make up New York City ain't giving him the win.
New York City has 8.9 million people. It's the United States largest city and a global megalopolis. It is an Alpha City and a hub of the world. The five boroughs are Manhattan (New York County), Brooklyn (Kings County), Queens (Queens County), The Bronx (Bronx County) and Staten Island (Richmond County).
Uh, I want you to know that if he wins, this country will be set back at least fifty more years. If he loses, he will be dealing with the legal consequences and potential backlash from donors and others who felt he couldn't seal the deal.
I am so really tired of this noise from MAGAland. They offer nothing but grievances and ad homiem attacks on their fellow Americans.
This was a rally to hate humans. A rally to hate difference. A rally to stroke a civil war.

Trump is not a man of peace. He is a chaos agent. He survived an assassin attempt. Orchestrated the worst attack on democracy since the U.S. Civil War. He failed at saving lives during a deadly pandemic. He tried to illegally steal an election. He is very definition of white privilege. We thought Trump would tone it down. Nope. He doubled down. He keeps going on and invites these people to egg on.
While the Republicans get upset over Vice President Kamala Harris calling Trump a "fascist", the former president continues to dehumanize her, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, President Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, former president Barack Obama, Beyonce, Taylor Swift and Democrats with divisive rhetoric.
The event managed to carry up to 21,000 attendees. Many from New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania and Delaware. New York City is within a five hour drive, so these MAGAland people will travel to see the former president.
Will this rally help him?
Well, I can tell you that besides Trump, Vance, Kennedy, Musk and McGraw, there were a handful of characters who said some offensive things about Muslims, Arabs, Latinos, Blacks, transwomen, gay men, former Republicans and Harris.

Tony Hinchcliffe stole the show. His comedy act was the most talked about. He made some of the most offensive and divisive remarks at the rally. Only less than a week from the 2024 presidential election, Hinchcliffe gave the Democrats a list of talking points.

Hinchcliffe, a former resident of Youngstown, Ohio now living in Houston, made his appearance and right off the bat attacked California, denigrated the U.S. commonwealth of Puerto Rico as a "floating island of garbage." He also said Latinos reproduced too much and invoked racist stereotypes.
He made remarks of Blacks being addicted to watermelons and fried chicken. He also made an antisemitic troupe. He said that Palestinians throwing rocks in the Israeli-Palestinian confict by joking that "Jews have a hard time throwing paper."
He reference Travis Kelcee to OJ Simpson. The called the Harris endorsements of Beyonce, Eminem, Taylor Swift (Kelcee's girlfriend), Usher and others as members of P. Diddy's infamous parties.
This sted a rally featuring crude and racist insults at New York’s Madison Square Garden Sunday, turning what his campaign had dubbed as the event where he would deliver his closing message into an illustration of what turns off his critics.
With just over a week before Election Day, speakers labeled Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” called Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris “the devil,” and said the woman vying to become the first woman and Black woman president had begun her career as a prostitute.
“I don’t know if you guys know this, but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico,” said Tony Hinchcliffe, a stand-up comic whose set also included lewd and racist comments about Latinos, Jews and Black people, all key constituencies in the election just nine days away.

His joke was immediately criticized by Harris’ campaign as it competes with Trump to win over Puerto Rican communities in Pennsylvania and other swing states. Puerto Rican music superstar Bad Bunny backed Harris shortly after Hinchcliffe’s appearance.
The normally pugnacious Trump campaign took the rare step of distancing itself from Hinchcliffe. “This joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign,” senior adviser Danielle Alvarez said in a statement.
But other speakers also made incendiary comments. Trump’s childhood friend David Rem referred to Harris as “the Antichrist” and “the devil.” Businessman Grant Cardone told the crowd that Harris ”and her pimp handlers will destroy our country.”
The marquee event reflected the former president’s tone throughout his third White House campaign. Though he refrained from doing so Sunday, Trump often tears into Harris in offensive and personal terms himself, questioning in recent weeks her mental stability and her intelligence as well as calling her “lazy,” long a racist trope used against Black people.
The event was a surreal spectacle that included former professional wrestler Hulk Hogan, TV psychologist Dr. Phil McGraw, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, politicians including House Speaker Mike Johnson and Reps. Byron Donalds and Elise Stefanik, and an artist who painted a picture of Trump hugging the Empire State Building.

And that was all before Trump was to take the stage, running more than two hours late.
After being introduced by his wife, Melania Trump, in a rare public appearance, the former president began by asking the same questions he’s asked at the start of every recent rally: “Are you better off now than you were four years ago?” The crowd responded with a resounding “No!”
“This election is a choice between whether we’ll have four more years of gross incompetence and failure, or whether we’ll begin the greatest years in the history of our country,” he said.
Trump announced a new tax credit for caregivers.
Trump on Sunday added a new proposal to his list of tax cuts aimed at winning over older adults and blue-collar workers, which already includes vows to end taxes on Social Security benefits, tips and overtime pay: A tax credit for family caregivers.
This comes after Harris has talked about the “sandwich generation” of adults caring for aging parents while raising their children at the same time. Harris has proposed federal funding to cover home care costs for older Americans.
Trump otherwise repeated familiar lines about foreign policy and immigration, calling for the death penalty for any migrant who kills a U.S. citizen and saying that the day he takes office, “The migrant invasion of our country ends.”
As Trump’s remarks came up on an hour, some of the crowd began trickling out.
Tech mogul Elon Musk, who spoke earlier and introduced Melania Trump, was a prominent part of Trump’s closing campaign message. The former president called Musk “a genius” and “special.”

Musk nodded to Trump’s recent plan to allow him to lead a government efficiency commission to audit the entire federal government. Several of Musk’s businesses, including Tesla and SpaceX, have major government contracts or have relied on U.S. subsidies, and Musk has faced criticism after reports that he has spoken privately with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“Your money is being wasted and the department of government efficiency is going to fix that,” Musk said before taking a place offstage beside Melania Trump.
Many of the speakers Sunday appeared on stage at the Republican National Convention. This time, the same speakers shouted and railed more against Democrats.
Hogan, returning to the venue where he performed years ago as a professional wrestler, seemed to reprise his character, emerging wearing a giant red, orange and yellow boa and violently waving a large American flag as he posed and danced. He spat on the stage during his speech, flexed his muscles repeatedly and told the audience: “Trump is the only man that can fix this country today.”

Trump allies went after Democrats for bringing up a pro-Nazi rally
Some Democrats, calling Trump a fascist, have compared his Sunday event to a pro-Nazi rally at the Garden in February 1939. Several speakers on Sunday ripped Hillary Clinton, the Democrat defeated by Trump eight years ago, for saying recently that Trump would be “reenacting” the 1939 event. One of them, radio host Sid Rosenberg, directed a profanity at Clinton.
“Hey guys, they’re now scrambling and trying to call us Nazis and fascists,” said Alina Habba, one of Trump’s attorneys, who draped a sparkly “MAGA” jacket over the lectern as she spoke. “And you know what they’re claiming, guys? It’s very scary. They’re claiming we’re going to go after them and try and put them in jail. Well, ain’t that rich?”
Declared Hogan in his raspy growl: “I don’t see no stinkin’ Nazis in here.”
Trump has denounced the four criminal indictments brought against him as politically motivated. He has ramped up his denunciations in recent weeks of “enemies from within,” naming domestic political rivals, and suggested he would use the military to go after them. Harris, in turn, has referred to Trump as a fascist.

The arena was full hours before Trump was scheduled to speak. Outside the arena, the sidewalks were overflowing with Trump supporters in red “Make America Great Again” hats. There was a heavy security presence. Streets were blocked off and access to Penn Station was restricted.
“It just goes to show ya that he has a bigger following of any man that has ever lived,” said Philip D’Agostino, a longtime Trump backer from Queens, the borough where Trump grew up.
A New Yorker returns home.
Trump has a complicated history with the place where he built his business empire and that made him a tabloid and reality TV star. Its residents indicted him last year on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. He was found guilty in that case, and also found liable in civil court for business fraud and sexual abuse.
But Trump has been talking about wanting to hold a rally at the venue dubbed “The World’s Most Famous Arena” since he launched his campaign.
The rally was one of a number of detours Trump has made from battleground states, including a recent rally in Coachella, California, and rallies on the Jersey Shore and in the South Bronx.

While some have dismissed the stops as nothing more than vanity events aimed at boosting Trump’s ego, the rallies guaranteed Trump national coverage that could help him reach the country’s few remaining undecided voters, many of whom don’t get their news from traditional outlets.
New York has not voted for a Republican for president in 40 years. But that hasn’t stopped Trump from continuing to insist he believes he can win. New York is also home to a handful of competitive congressional races that could determine which party controls the House next year.
Trump routinely uses his hometown as a foil before audiences in other states, painting a dark vision of the city that bears little resemblance to reality. He’s cast it as crime-ridden and overrun by violent, immigrant gangs who have taken over Fifth and Madison avenues and occupied Times Square.
On Sunday, however, Trump was much more complimentary of the city. He said “no city embodies the spirit” and energy of the American people more and talked about attending basketball and hockey games at the Garden.
After Trump concluded his speech after over an hour, opera singer Christopher Macchio came on stage to perform the song “New York, New York.”
The former president smiled and swayed slightly, his wife standing next to him on stage.

| It's almost over. |
I struggled with this. I was really on the fence with it. I do take former president Donald J. Trump as a serious threat to democracy. But to see the Democratic Party align itself with warmongering rhetoric and the Israeli regime almost had me vote third party. I went ahead and voted for Harris and Walz. I saw the choices and the closest to my views at best was Harris.
Jill Stein proved to be an idiot and perennial loser. The Green Party has openly admitted they are trying to make Trump win. They are also clueless on how government works.
Electing Stein will not stop Israel. Matter of fact, what drove my vote was allegations that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is colluding with Trump to depress the Democratic voter turnout. That would be election interference.
Netanyahu and Russian president Vladimir Putin wants a stooge in the White House to do its bidding. Biden is leaving and he fears Harris will get tough on him. Trump praised Netanyahu in the past and complained about how the evil man couldn't get the job done. Trump frequently talks to him and admitted that Netanyahu ignores Biden despite the unilateral military aid funding.
Netanyahu wants to see Harris lose because he can use Trump as a path to creating Greater Israel. Putin sees Trump as an idiot. Russia seeks to advance BRIC's agenda to reign in American influence and rid the world of the U.S. dollar.
Trump said it will be a bloodbath if he loses. He still angry over Biden dropping out. Because he felt that he had a strong opportunity to defeat the president.
In less than a week it will be all over. No more text messages trying to encourage donations. No more polls and man on the streets. No more shocks and awes.
We will return to normal. Some will be happy others said. At the end of the day, democracy will happen and one will win.
