前总统唐纳德·特朗普周日在纽约市麦迪逊广场花园举行的集会更像是他梦想中的复仇之旅，演讲充满了谎言、种族主义、性别歧视和粗俗的言论，如果他在 11 月 5 日当选，他的第二个任期将充满黑暗的愿景。
它拥有人们对大型 MAGA 集会所期望的一切：科技亿万富翁埃隆·马斯克 （Elon Musk） 在舞台上跳来跳去，摔跤手霍克·霍根 （Hulk Hogan） 扯掉了他的衬衫，一位画了特朗普拥抱帝国大厦画画的艺术家，让前纽约市市长鲁迪·朱利安尼 （Rudy Giuliani） 名誉扫地地宣布他不会在发起阴谋论交易之前进行交易， 保守派评论员塔克·卡尔森（Tucker Carlson）称自己是被特朗普解放的奴隶，前第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普（Melania Trump）也罕见地露面。
Former President Donald Trump’s rally at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Sunday came across more like the revenge tour of his dreams, featuring speeches laden with untruths, racist, sexist and vulgar remarks and a dark vision for his second term should he be elected on Nov. 5.
It had everything one might expect from a mega-MAGA rally: tech billionaire Elon Musk jumping up and down on stage, wrestler Hulk Hogan ripping off his shirt, an artist who painted a picture of Trump hugging the Empire State Building, disgraced former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani announcing that he was not going to trade in conspiracy theories before launching into one, conservative commentator Tucker Carlson calling himself a slave who was liberated by Trump, and a rare appearance from former first lady Melania Trump.
纽约市曾经是房地产大亨转为名人的代名词——他在那里积累了财富，伪造了自己的身份并称之为家——特朗普选择在民主党的避风港度过宝贵的时间，今年早些时候，他在那里被判犯有 34 项商业欺诈重罪。而且，就像一个被轻蔑的情人一样，他释放了一股尖酸刻薄的洪流，这一次包括他独特的共和党政治品牌
Campaigning in New York City, once synonymous with the real estate mogul-turned-celebrity – where he amassed his fortune, forged his identity and called home – Trump chose to spend valuable time in a Democratic safe haven where he was convicted earlier this year of 34 felony counts of business fraud. And, like a scorned lover, he unleashed a torrent of vitriol, this one comprised of his particular brand of GOP politics.
发言者称波多黎各为“垃圾浮岛”，民主党副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯（Kamala Harris）是“魔鬼”和“敌基督”，她的职业生涯始于，并一再指责民主党人试图杀死特朗普。他们告诉特朗普的支持者“屠杀”民主党人。人群一度高呼“Tampon Tim”，以贬低哈里斯的竞选搭档、明尼苏达州州长蒂姆·沃尔茨（Tim Walz）。
“我不知道你们是否知道这一点，但现在海洋中央确实有一个垃圾浮岛。我觉得它叫波多黎各，“喜剧演员托尼·欣奇克利夫（Tony Hinchcliffe）说，他的言论还包括对黑人、犹太人和拉丁裔的令人不快的种族主义评论——特朗普需要从这些关键选区吸取支持，因为距离大选只有八天了。
与此形成鲜明对比的是，哈里斯周日早些时候在费城讨好该州大量的波多黎各人口。据《纽约时报》报道，在参观一家波多黎各餐厅时，她概述了一项新计划，以扩大佛罗里达州以南约 1,100 英里岛上的经济机会。
进入竞选活动的最后一周，特朗普和哈里斯在民调中几乎打成平手。
当特朗普在被称为他大选闭幕陈词的活动上发表讲话时，这位前总统与崇拜的人群共度了一个多小时，谈论了通常的不满，包括他的政治对手、美墨边境的移民危机和经济。
他说，哈里斯从委内瑞拉和刚果的监狱输入“犯罪移民”，以“捕食无辜的美国公民”。他称美国为“被占领国”，并承诺如果当选，11月5日将被称为“美国解放日”。
“第一天，我将启动美国历史上最大的驱逐计划，将罪犯赶出去，”他说。
特朗普对纽约的访问使他从他通常的战场风暴中得到了缓解。但是，距离 11 月 5 日只有几天时间，这次集会引发了一场他急需的媒体闪电战，因为这场竞选的叙事在很大程度上由他的对手控制。
他得到了头条新闻——然后是一些。但是，如果他试图扩大自己的选民基础，那么这场集会就不太可能实现这一目标——即使对这位通常夸夸其谈的前总统来说也是如此。
Speakers called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” said Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris is “the devil” and “the Antichrist” who had begun her career as a prostitute, and repeatedly accused Democrats of trying to kill Trump. They told Trump supporters to “slaughter” Democrats. At one point, the crowd chanted “Tampon Tim” to disparage Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
“I don’t know if you guys know this, but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico,” said Tony Hinchcliffe, a comedian whose remarks also included unsavory and racist comments about Black, Jewish and Latino people – key constituencies Trump needs to siphon support from with the election just eight days away.
In a stark contrast, Harris was in Philadelphia earlier on Sunday courting the state’s significant Puerto Rican population. While visiting a Puerto Rican restaurant, The New York Times reported, she outlined a new plan to expand economic opportunities on the island roughly 1,100 miles south of Florida.
Heading into the last week of the campaign, Trump and Harris are virtually tied in the polls.
When it came time for Trump to speak at the event billed as his closing argument for the election, the former president regaled the adoring crowd for more than an hour, waxing on the usual grievances, including his political rivals, the migrant crisis along the U.S.-Mexico border and the economy.
He said Harris was importing “criminal migrants” from jails in Venezuela and the Congo to “prey upon innocent American citizens.” He called the U.S. “an occupied country” and pledged that, if elected, Nov. 5 would be known as “Liberation Day in America.”
“On Day One, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history and get criminals out,” he said.
Trump’s visit to the Big Apple was a reprieve from his usual battleground barnstorm. But with mere days until Nov. 5, the rally generated a media blitz he badly needed in a race whose narrative has largely been controlled by his opponent.
The headlines, he got – and then some. But if he was trying to expand his base, it’s unlikely that the rally – which was aggressive, even for the typically bombastic former president – achieved that.
