Trump Launches Final Campaign Push at Madison Square Garden with Star-Studded Rally

As the 2024 election approaches, Donald Trump kicked off his final campaign week with a rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City, where he was greeted by a packed audience. The event began at 5 p.m. and featured prominent figures such as Tucker Carlson, Dr. Phil, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Hulk Hogan, Dana White, and Elon Musk, who made a bold statement by referring to himself as "dark gothic MAGA" while sporting a black MAGA hat.

Despite New York's Democratic leanings, where he trails Kamala Harris by approximately 15 points, Trump expressed his desire to win the state, emphasizing its historical significance to him. He contested the advice he received about avoiding a rally in a solid blue state, asserting that New Yorkers can achieve great things by working together, and conveyed his appreciation for the audience's support over his luxury life choices.

In his speech lasting over an hour, Trump highlighted critical issues for the upcoming election, particularly the economy and immigration. He promised to create an unparalleled economy if reelected, proposing tax cuts and the elimination of taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security benefits for seniors. Trump also revealed a plan for a new tax credit for family caregivers and aimed to incentivize American manufacturing by making car loan interest tax-deductible only for American-made vehicles.

He declared that to bring jobs back to the U.S., American companies would benefit from reduced taxes and energy costs, while facing strict tariffs if they do not produce domestically. Trump underscored the significance of border security and immigration issues, asserting that they surpass concerns of inflation and the economy itself. He pointed out the high number of illegal alien encounters under the Biden administration and vowed to initiate the largest deportation effort in U.S. history upon taking office.

Criticizing Kamala Harris, Trump claimed her incompetence and linked her failures to a larger "radical left machine" dominating the Democratic Party. He followed up with personal attacks on Harris, alleging low intelligence and connecting her administration to various national crises, before making plans to visit important swing states like Georgia and Pennsylvania in his ongoing campaign efforts.
