The interminably long and unbearably tedious affair was rife with the sort of demagogic White supremacism that marked the previous <em>&#8220;America First&#8221;<\/em> rally staged at MSG 85 years ago by the American Nazi Party.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=63531\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DNC Projects the Real Message of Trump\u2019s Anti-American MAGA-Palooza onto Madison Square Garden<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Trump and his campaign knew that they had laid a rotten egg shortly after a featured guest speaker insulted Puerto Rico as a <em>&#8220;floating island of garbage.&#8221;<\/em> And while the campaign made a mild statement that the <em>&#8220;joke&#8221;<\/em> didn&#8217;t <em>&#8220;reflect the views&#8221;<\/em> of the campaign, Trump himself has still failed to repudiate it or apologize. And that slur only scratched the surface of the hostility that was rampant at the Garden.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, Trump held a phony press conference that was nothing more than another opportunity to spew the very same repulsive rhetoric that he unloads at his cult rallies. The venue for this sham was his own Mar-a-Lago home\/hotel, and he was still more than an hour late arriving. Plus, he packed the room with his supporters who were cheering on cue for everything he said.<\/p>\n<p>Trump never mentioned the demeaning of Puerto Rico and the millions of Puerto Rican citizens throughout the United States. But he did launch ludicrous and baseless attacks on Kamala Harris for running a <em>&#8220;campaign of hate&#8221;<\/em> and <em>&#8220;trying to destroy our country.&#8221;<\/em> Which was pure projection on Trump&#8217;s part. What&#8217;s more, he ducked out the back way without taking a single question from the assembled reporters. Why on Earth would any journalist bother to show up for this sort of charade?<\/p>\n<p>In a fit of deliberate deception Trump repeatedly referred to the MSG hate-mongering as <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Acyn\/status\/1851297387693986107\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a <em>&#8220;love fest.&#8221;<\/em><\/a><\/strong> Which, ironically, is the very same way he described the deadly January 6th insurrection that that he incited.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE HERE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=63443\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">On Fox News (Again) Trump Says January 6th Was a \u2018Day of Love\u2019 and Doubles Down on Pet Eating<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fox News carried Trump&#8217;s so-called press conference without correcting any of the obvious lies he told on a variety of subjects.
