Donald Trump held a grand event at Madison Square Garden, marking a symbolic return to his hometown after recent legal disputes. The arena was packed with supporters from all over the United States, while many others gathered outside, unable to get in. In a lively atmosphere, with red “Make America Great Again” hats filling Fifth Avenue, Trump shared his message of optimism. “With your vote, I will stop inflation and bring back the American dream,” said the former president, introduced on stage by former First Lady Melania, who made a rare appearance on the campaign trail.

Trump said he was ahead in the polls in key states and promised to reclaim the White House in nine days. He then slammed Vice President Kamala Harris, accusing her of “destroying the country” and claiming that America’s enemies are laughing at her management. Trump said Harris imported criminals from different nations and he promised that his leadership would put an end to this situation, calling it an “occupation.” He also criticized the vice president’s intelligence, saying that with her in power, there is a risk of world war.

For Trump, the Madison Square Garden rally is more than just a campaign event; it’s a dream come true, an opportunity to reclaim New York and turn it into a Republican stronghold despite the opinions to the contrary. The former president doesn’t hide his satisfaction at stepping onto a stage famous for hosting historic events like Marilyn Monroe’s for John F. Kennedy or Bill Clinton in 1992. Madison Square Garden has also had dark resonances in American history.

During the event, Trump appeared comfortable and pleased with the turnout. Among those in attendance were well-known figures such as Elon Musk and Mike Johnson. Donald Trump Jr., speaking from the stage, said: “The King of New York is back to take back what is his,” emphasizing the importance of the father figure in the transformation of the city. Lara Trump added that New York was instrumental in her father’s career and that now they have the opportunity to change Washington.

Elon Musk encouraged people to vote and take back the country from the current politicians: “Your money is being wasted; we can significantly reduce federal spending.” He also warned about the importance of having a large margin in the upcoming elections. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who was greeted with enthusiasm by the audience, criticized the current Democratic Party compared to the one of the past.

Mike Johnson concluded by speaking about the importance of the upcoming elections: “We have to win the House and win the Senate to put Donald Trump in the White House”, reiterating the need to avoid another four years under the leadership of Kamala Harris. This event at Madison Square Garden therefore represents not only a fundamental step in the electoral race but also a celebration of the deep bond between Donald Trump and New York.
