Off-color jokes, vitriol take over Trump Madison Square Garden rally toggle caption Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images Donald Trump put on a rally in New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Sunday to kick off the final full week of campaigning for president, complete with celebrity guests and a new economic proposal. Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally was instead marked by swear words, racist jokes about Latinos and misogynistic remarks. The first speaker at the former president’s Madison Square Garden rally, roast comedian and podcast host Tony Hinchcliffe, set the tone with a disparaging joke about welcoming Latinos into the U.S. “with open arms” while making a shooing motion. And it’s requited.” That sentiment was echoed later, when former Trump White House aide Stephen Miller told the crowd: “America is for Americans and Americans only.” Tax credits and ‘enemy from within’ After a more than four-hour pre-program of speakers, Melania Trump made a rare campaign trail appearance, introducing her husband.
