Trump fills Madison Square Garden with anger, vitriol and racist threats

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : Trump continued his frequent rants about immigration and claimed that a "savage Venezuelan prison gang" had "taken over Times Square", which will come as a surprise to anyone who has recently visited the New York landmark.
43% : She means nothing, she's purely a vessel that's all she is," Trump said.
40% : Nine days out from the election, Trump used the rally in New York to repeat his claim that he is fighting "the enemy within" and again promised to launch "the largest deportation program in American history", amid incoherent ramblings about ending a phone call with a "very, very important person" so he could watch one of Elon Musk's rockets land.
37% : As soon as Trump announced his intention to stage a rally at Madison Square Garden just days before the election, critics leapt to point out historical parallels with one of the most notorious events in New York history.
35% : The pugnacious mood didn't change once Trump began speaking, as the former president quickly repeated his pledge to "launch the largest deportation program in American history".
30% : What Trump intends by staging this trilogy of seemingly pointless electoral appearances is unclear.
28% : Marking final stretch of campaign in New York, Trump and cabal of surrogates attack Harris and mock Puerto RicoAnger and vitriol took center stage at New York's Madison Square Garden on Sunday night, as Donald Trump and a cabal of campaign surrogates held a rally marked by racist comments, coarse insults, and dangerous threats about immigrants.
25% : Tim Walz, Kamala Harris' running mate, said there was a "direct parallel" between the two events, and the Democratic National Committee projected images on the outside of the building on Sunday repeating claims from Trump's former chief-of-staff that Trump had "praised Hitler".
10% : On Sunday Trump again criticized his home town, claiming that the Biden administration had forced "hundreds of thousands of really rough people" into the city and telling New Yorkers, despite police saying crime has declined: "Your crime is through the roof.
2% : There was certainly a dark tone throughout the hours-long rally, with one speaker describing Puerto Rico, home to 3.2m US citizens, as an "island of garbage"; Tucker Carlson mocking Harris' racial identity; a radio host describing Hillary Clinton as a "sick bastard"; and a crucifix-wielding childhood friend of Trump's declaring that Harris is "the antichrist".
