The Donald Trump Republican rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City last night was reminiscent in many ways of the infamous Nazi Party rally at the same venue in February 1939.
There were racist, antisemitic, misogynistic, white supremacist, and nativist utterances utlized by a host of speakers, and a specific and vicious attack on Puerto Ricans, who are Americans, but whose island was treated horribly by Donald Trump after the disasatrous Hurricane Maria in 2017.
One can hope that the large number of Puerto Ricans in New York, Florida, Illinois, and elsewhere will vote against Donald Trump, and that could affect election results in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and other “swing” states.
It was disgusting also to see some American Jews contributing to the disgraceful rhetoric at the rally, with them having no memory or concern about how Jews were treated at the 1939 rally, which took place before World War II, which led to the Nazi Holocaust!
The cast of characters assisting Trump at this despicable display of hatred included, among others:
JD Vance
Mike Johnson
Tulsi Gabbard
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr
Byron Donalds
Elise Stefanik
Elon Musk
Tucker Carlson
Howard Lutnick
Dr. Phil McGraw
And Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe who used vile racist language jokes, should be never hired to be a comedian anywhere, as he is a disgrace, and sees nothing wrong with his outrageous behavior, which, interestingly, led to a rebuke by the Trump campaign, which realized how it would harm support among Latinos!
It’s disgusting, sickening, etc.
Thank you for sharing, Dr. Feinman. Always appreciate your voice of reason! As a proud Puerto Rican and a proud American, I appreciate your willingness to continue to light candles when others are so determined to turn off the lights on very concerning rhetoric and nods of approval- whether explicitly or implicitly.
Trump’s Shock Comic Was Set to Call Harris a ‘C*nt’

Everything that was said in that rally should, by all rights, disqualify Trump in the minds of decent people everywhere. I’ll never understand how any of that is considered normal political discourse now.
