Well, he’s out now and proudly racist. He had a rally in Madison Square Garden. It looked very much like the Fascist rally that took place there in the late 1930’s. One guy at that rally promised that the racists would return America “to the people who founded it.” I presume the First Nations were happy, for a moment, before realizing the white European meant other white Europeans.
It’s weird, isn’t it, that Fascism seems to keep rearing it’s ugly head in America? But, at this point, the idea that Trump and his supporters are fascists is no surprise. Also, because of Trump’s history, his bigotry is no surprise. But I’ve got to tell you, I was surprised by the clips I’ve seen of that rally.
Trump’s team brought in “entertainment” for the crowd, a vile “comedian” (name withheld) who told a series of very racist “jokes.” Yeah, if YOU, TOO are a racist, you’ll laugh and laugh at those comments. If you’re decent (ergo, not MAGA), you were shocked and just shook your head. Here is just one example of the funny, funny lines he was pitching, “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…” Oh, how MAGA laughed…
Today, I expect to see a “poll” that shows how much more Puerto Ricans have come to love Trump since his Madison Square Garden rally. Every time he insults some group, there’s a new poll showing how much better he’s doing with that group.
Naked racism. A speaker hired BY TRUMP’S TEAM, to say things Trump is pretty sure his base wants to hear, and I’m pretty sure he’s right about that. A racist diatribe. Perhaps it’s just coincidence, but this is the rally, this racist, hate-filled, fever-nightmare event, in which Melania chose to come out of hiding and make an appearance. She was all smiles. Apparently, we’ve found her jam…
According to Trump, if you love America and want to see it preserved, you’re now “the enemy from within.” You’ll need to be punished. EVERYONE around him seems to need to be punished. But he’s looking forward to taking special interest in anyone he doesn’t like. I suspect my own blog is going to get me into trouble sooner or later. (The main saving grace is that very few people ever actually see my blog…)
Trump claimed – in Madison Square Garden, only a few blocks from Times Square – that a “savage Venezuelan prison gang” had taken over Times Square. At least some of those attendees must have passed through Times Square only an hour or two before. They never saw any signs of a “savage Venezuelan prison gang.” But now, because Trump said so, they just KNOW that a “savage Venezuelan prison gang” has taken over Times Square. (What a scary ride home, back through Times Square. I hope they made it.)
He promises to “launch the largest deportation program in American history.” Remember when Ron DeSantis successfully ran most of the undocumented workers out of Florida and then the farmers couldn’t find anybody to bring the crops in from the field, so they lost their crops? There’s your model for what the “largest deportation program in American history” might do to America at it’s hardest-working core.
This rally is being portrayed on the left as a major misstep by Trump, an event so startlingly, brazenly racist and hate-filled that Trump has destroyed his campaign and the thing amounted to “political suicide.” Don’t you believe it. MAGA loved it. The left KEEPS seeing things that SHOULD BE political suicide but never turn out to be. ‘Access Hollywood’ recording anyone? MAGA has been fully brainwashed and they’re all in. Hate? Sure. Racism? Absolutely. White Nationalism? Why would anybody want anything else?
At one point, Hulk Hogan came out to speak and said, “I don’t see no stinkin’ Nazis in here.” No, you don’t. These days, Nazis travel under a new name: MAGA…

Trump just keeps crapping on his supporters and he expects them to just sit back and accept it. (Fortunately for him, they have no self-respect, so they do.) Remember a couple of weeks ago when he stranded his supporters after a rally by not having the buses come back to get them back to their cars? Yeah, he paid for the buses to get them there, but he HAD his photos of his “great crowd” and the rally was over and he didn’t need them anymore – so he just abandoned them. It’s not even the first time he’s pulled that cheap little stunt.
Now he has burned his own supporters in a new way. He scheduled a rally in Michigan. Thousands (he would say Billions) of his supporters showed up. They waited. And they waited. And they waited some more. THEN, after he was over an hour late already, he sent a video to be played, instead. The video told the people who had come out to support him at the rally his people set up and advertised, that he was going to be two hours later because he was going to go on the Joe Rogan podcast.
A rally that he was supposed to start at by 7:00 pm may or may not start until 10:00 pm, at best? Because he got a better offer? Yeah, as you can imagine, many of them left. He keeps doing things like that to his victi… er, supporters. They don’t care. They love the guy. He could pound their thumbs with a hammer and they’d just thank him for noticing them. Then, they’ll go into the voting booth, thumbs in splints, and cast their ballot for Trump. He doesn’t even care enough about them to hate them, but they love him so much he can do what he wants and not lose any support. Quite masochistic, if you ask me…
