When former President Donald J. Trump decided to take a day off the battleground campaign trail in the waning days of the race to hold a rally Sunday at Madison Square Garden, it prompted a question from many political observers: Why?
New York is hardly a battleground state, and New York City is still a Democratic stronghold. So how come Mr. Trump is planning an event in Midtown Manhattan in the final two weeks of his presidential campaign?
Here are five reasons:
He will get to see his name in lights.
Mr. Trump was a performer and reality TV star before he was a political candidate and president. (It is worth recalling that at the Republican National Convention this summer in Milwaukee, Mr. Trump appeared onstage with a Broadway-style light display spelling out T-R-U-M-P.)
For years, Mr. Trump has measured the significance of his rally venues in part by who had appeared there before. And his yardsticks were usually not other politicians, but singers and other celebrities.
“Do you know how many arenas I’ve beaten Elton John’s record?” Mr. Trump once asked Senator Kevin Cramer, Republican of North Dakota, as he prepared to hold an event during his presidency at the Fargodome at North Dakota State University.
And when he appeared at a rally last month at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island, Mr. Trump noted proudly that Elvis Presley had played there.

“And a couple of quotes from Nietzsche and Schopenhauer. lol”
Or, a couple of Martin Heidegger (In charge of the Nazification of German education) on the understanding of “Being” through Dasien
Since the pendulum that once functioned in NY has mysteriously stopped doing so I take the view that the Demons are cheating and have been for some time.
He’s doing the same thing this election cycle he did the last.
Do something that the MSM/leftists lose their minds over, and they blare it all over the news non-stop for days to try to denigrate him and all they end up doing is spreading his message far and wide and doing his campaigning for him.
For free.
He’s playing them and they don’t even know it.
Ahhhh, so THAT'S what's got Maggie's boxers in a bundle. Kameleon has to bring in "stars" like Eminem in order to attract people to her rallies whereas President Trump IS the star attraction.
Ha haha They’re afraid Trump could win New York.
Thx.
Because, Maggie. It’s like Kameleon said the other day. He’s in hiding. And tens of thousands of people will be there to witness it.
He’s peeing in Chuck Schumer’s back yard.
He will get to see his name in lights.
It will generate a blitz of coverage.
It’s a giant trolling exercise
It could help Republicans in down-ballot races.
It’s still his preferred city.
There is a disturbing rumor afloat today that some 31 MILLION Evangelical Christians will NOT VOTE on 11/5/24!
I’m reminded of a joke so old that, when I first heard it, I kicked the slats out of my crib over 75 years ago Even if you’re heard it before, please resend it in hopes it reaches enough others to make the critical difference.
A man was caught in a raging flood & forced to seek safety on the roof of his home as the water contined to rise.
Soon a man in a boat came by & urgd him to get in. The man replied: “The Lord will save me” & waved him off.
The water rose higher & another boat drifted by & he again declined, & declared “The Lord will save me.”
This repeated 3 times until the water rose OVER the roof & the man drowned!
Upon reaching the pearly gates, the Lord greeted him & the man asked Him why He failed to save him.
The Lord replied, “My son, I sent boats for you but YOU REFUSED TO GET IN!”
What does this have to do with the most critical national election in our history?
EVERYTHING!
Given the incredible volume of information concerning the FLOOD of corruption, sinful behavior (pedophelia, bribes, theft & yes, murders! etc.) within some ranks of the political class (ESPECIALLY THE DEMOCRATS!), think of TRUMP as one of those boats. If you can think of WHY a 70 year old man worth $3 BILLION at the time would subject himself to what Satan & his minions have heaped upon TRUMP & his family, share it with us!
ALL THAT COMES TO MY ALLEGED MIND IS:
LOVE OF COUNTRY!
house races are important also
I’m hoping Trump will at the very least make NY a swing state. It’s also important for him to win the popular vote and every vote counts. New York has been ignored for decades because people figure it a slam dunk for the dems
New York is the heart of liberal country and he loves annoying the hell out of liberals.
Have they called him hitler yet today?
It’s a poke at the Democrat machine that runs NYC. It will be on the front page/first story of every newscast across the country.
You cannot buy coverage like that.
And with Hillary harkening back to the Nazi Bund rally, it will attract even more coverage.
I think the reaction will show Americans how bat-s**t crazy the left has become.
To avoid clicking on the NYT, what are the five reasons, please?
You made me laugh out loud. Yes…it would be funny but most of the media would miss the joke.
New York isn’t in play, but going to MSG is nevertheless a brilliant move. It sends to every other states the message that Trump isn’t afraid of any space or crowd, and doesn’t hide who he is. It just emphasizes how Kamala hides.

Nailed it. Trump is the life raft. It's up to us to get in or ???
Charlie Kirk came up with a good thought - He is of the opinion that God cast his ballot on 13JULY24. I like to think he is closer to correct than not.
