Trump returns to New York as Harris targets the populace

MUSK V MICHELLE OBAMA

Trump’s rally in New York, in a place called “The World’s Most Famous Arena” will include backers like billionaire Elon Muskwho personally launched the campaign for the former president.

It is a storied arena in US sporting and cultural life, having hosted the Rolling Stones, Madonna and U2, as well as the Democratic and Republican presidential conventions.

However, the venue also hosted a far-right, pro-Hitler rally in 1939 with eagles, Nazi insignia and salutes – an association that generated darker headlines.

Trump appears at Madison Square Garden just days after one of his former top officials, John Kelly, said the Republican fits the definition of a fascist — something Harris says he agreed with.

The most recent the high-powered Harris allyformer first lady Michelle Obama, expressed her “genuine fear” on Saturday that Trump could soon return to power.
