The Felon Wants A Rally To Be Held At Madison Square Garden

Very delusional isn't he????

NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump is returning to New York in the race’s final stretch, scheduling a rally at the city’s iconic Madison Square Garden.

Trump is planning his event for Oct. 27 to kick off the final week of campaigning, according to a campaign official familiar with the plans who spoke on the condition of anonymity ahead of a formal announcement.

It will be Trump’s second rally in the city he grew up in following a May stop in the South Bronx that drew a large and diverse crowd. He held another on Long Island last month.

“We have some very big ones coming. We just rented Madison Square Garden. We’re going to make a play for New York,” Trump said at a rally Wednesday afternoon in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

He said his campaign is also looking to rent arenas in Atlanta, Georgia and New Jersey.

Trump has long said he believes that he can win New York, even though it is overwhelmingly Democratic and he has lost the state in the last two elections by more than 20 percentage points. But Trump also relishes staging events that will draw outsized media attention, like one held at the so-called World’s Most Famous Arena.


He thinks he going to have this:

unlikely. Campaigns usually don’t announce rally locations until the last minutes in order that nobody can plan sabotaging the building or other nefarious plans. With one bullet grazed ear and a golf course intruder under his belt it’s unlikely the Secret Service would ever allow him to proceed with a MSG rally after having announced it to the world…

This is just another instance of the braggart trying to get attention.

There will be wide media coverage and some of the last images voters nationwide will see of trump's campaign with be protest demostrations against him.

Not a good decision, cultists. But carry on.

There will be cult members who can scrounge up a few tickets to NYC, hotel rooms, & of course mad money for fun, in spite of how terrible the economy is.

It not a wise venue for a last campaign rally. In fact, I doubt it will happen.

At his rally because no one will follow up. If we actually had a functioning news media that wasn't a billionaire's megaphone, they would follow up with the MSG folks to see if it really has been rented as he says, but there you go...

to even make a line at the restroom.

Or BierGarten.

There probably be more protesters (AND MEDIA) than attendees, but I am sure that's the pub he wants.

Better to ask MSG that he pay in advance, or no electricity.

And no Tiki Torches, either. Fire hazard.

It won't help him win the election so he must simply be looking to boost his "rigged" claim when he loses. It's all very weird. He seems to have some pollsters and pundits going along with his game.

November 5th is all that matters. We vote and he's gone. Hopefully this time for good.

TFG stole the America First slogan from the Nazis



Mark this down. Trump's decision to rent out Madison Square Garden is an attempt to recreate the 1939 "America First" Nazi rally. Trump will use this to rally white-supremacist groups as his brown-shirt army to interfere with the election in urban population centers.

He'll probably get denied simply based on that. No time to get ready for the events and for Secret Service to secure the facility.

Then it will be a non-stop whine of: "New York liberals sabotaged my beautiful rally!"

Kany Garcia is playing. I hope Madison Square Garden gets their money up front but I don’t think he will have the event there as he couldn’t fill a stadium like that in NY. And can you imagine the protests and the chaos it would cause in NY City?
