Donald Trump derides his former hometown as dirty, unsafe and “failing”. But as the campaign nears its end, he chose to head there for a “celebration” – and claimed to love New York again.
The property mogul was once again an agent of chaos in his former hometown – a city he now derides as dirty, unsafe and “failing” – when he returned for a blockbuster rally at Madison Square Garden that has been likened to a pro-Nazi protest from 1939.
Melissa Shelly, from Manhattan’s Upper East Side, and her friend Elaine Gardner were among the Trump supporters trying to get inside the stadium late in the piece. “There’s only a few that are actually radical. There’s a lot of hidden Trump supporters. People just don’t want to say it. Here at the Trump rally you can wear your hat, you can do all that.”
Inside, Trump supporters were treated to a repertoire from comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who called the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico, a US territory, “a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean”. He also said Latinos “love making babies … there’s no pulling out, they don’t do that, they come inside – just like they did to our country”.
