Some Latinos may have been from a different country but earned American citizenship

We are not talking about legal immigrants or naturalized citizens.

No at the MSG garden rally they were not talking about that.

MAGA geography ain't too gud to go along with their other faculties.

Puerto Ricans are born and bred US ctitizens. Puerto Rico is part of the US Homeland.

But with MAGA of course that point doesn't really matter.

Just like with Tucker at the rally too calling Kamala 'Samoan-Malaysian'

They are just the brown 'other'.

Calm down,

I always am, therefore no need to rant

you're not listening to your hero - he's telling you he's surrendered -

In the liberal fantasy minds, that’s your world, deal with it. Again, the panic is starting to show on the libs.

Does not seem to be the opinion of the vast majority of Puerto Ricans, including in the swing state of Pennsylvania, and is in keeping with Trump's record.

Trump wanted him on stage.

Did he now? You talked to him?

Trump did not apologize.

His camp did, its online

Trump also made it known he has a bad opinion of Latinos from other countries.

Of illegals yes, most Americans do, that’s why they support him when it comes to immigration.

Some Latinos may have family from other countries.

We all have families from various countries, I do as well.

Some Latinos may have been from a different country but earned American citizenship

We are not talking about legal immigrants or naturalized citizens.

but that doesn't make all the nasty words disappear that were said from Trump and his party

But Trump didn’t say it, so not big deal, now had he said them, then people would have had a right to excoriate the man.

Trump says his New York rally marked by crude and racist insults was 'an absolute lovefest' “

;

“… after a massive rally at Madison Square Garden featured a number of crude remarks by various speakers, including a set by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe in which he joked that Puerto Rico was a floating island of garbage. “

Lots of arrogance and overconfidence at this particular Trump rally, which ended up giving the other side some ammunition;

( as for the JOKE—it makes no sense to think that Trump shouldn't be elected because of a JOKE made by a COMEDIAN, but that's politics—of course they're going to grab that, distort it and try to influence voters; if the endorsement of celebrities is enough to dissuade voters from voting for a certain candidate, it is not shocking that this nonsense also dissuades certain voters from voting for Trump… )

I still think Trump will win (as he should and deserves) but my message to the Trump campaign, with Election Day just days away, is that Trump is not president yet—this doesn’t end until next Tuesday, November 5th.

Despite acting like one, Trump is not a child and has to take sone responsibility for speakers at his rallies.

Trump is graded differently to other politicians. His senile gibbering about sharks, batteries, Hannibal Lector and Arnold Palmer’s lunch box is overlooked as his supporters talk about a Harris ‘word salad’.

Stop grading him differently.

Still, only a week left to see how Latinos will cast their votes and whether that stupid joke will make a difference or not. Pass the popcorn.

Don't choke on the popcorn when you see the results that were predicted by those who weren't brainwashed by the klan

This is why Trump raised the white surrender flag at his "Bigot Blowout" at the Garden - he knows he's toast...

"Vice President Harris regained her 4-point lead over former President Trump in a new national survey from ABC News and Ipsos. Harris leads Trump by 4 points among likely voters nationally, 51 percent to 47 percent, in the survey conducted Oct. 18-22 and released Sunday."

https://www.yahoo.com/news/harris-widens-lead-over-trump-150602487.html

Just like Jimmy Carter and George Bush I, he knows the end is here and he's done...

Unlike those two former Presidents however, he intends to transition to his next "gig" - white supremacist entertainer...

The MAGA-hustle will go on...at a cross-burning near you.

Well, he has a PR staff that does that, so that’s not his job.

Excuses, as much as he is vocal as he is on social media he can choose who represents him and has a say in if he agrees or disagrees with them. At this point his PR team is just as bad as he is

The man doesn't even know what love means!

How would you know?

It was a hate spewing, racist, insulting, instigating event - the way Donald likes it!

Seeing all the women he dated through the years tells a different story

"“I don’t know him. Someone put him up there. I don’t know who he is,” Trump said, according to the network, insisting that he hadn’t heard Hinchcliffe’s comments."

True

Almost like the 3 monkeys combined in one. Or is it dementia plus borderline personality disorder?

What?

Now that would explain a lot!

Explain what exactly?

And you want to tell me that Donald doesn't know who the ones who speak at his events. Besides, Hinchcliffe is an associate of Joe Rogen - remember him??

Well, he has a PR staff that does that, so that’s not his job.

While the fake comic's racist joke was bad...I think Tucker Carlson's xenophobic tirade was even worse...

"Tucker Carlson on Sunday falsely said Democratic nominee Kamala Harris is Samoan and Malaysian in a racist rant tinged by conspiracy theory. 

Harris’ mother is from India and her father from Jamaica.

But Carlson appeared to be using Samoa and Malaysia as sarcastic plug-ins for nonwhite nations to dig at Harris’ racial background. Republican nominee Donald Trump and allies have been doing that with greater intensity since the vice president received the nomination.

In a speech before Trump took the stage at Madison Square Garden, the disgraced Fox News alum also took other pages out of the GOP playbook. He insulted Harris’ intelligence and preemptively sowed doubt about the election results in case she wins.

“It’s gonna be pretty hard to look at us and say, ’You know what? Kamala Harris, she got 85 million votes because she’s just so impressive as the first Samoan-Malaysian, low-IQ, former California prosecutor ever to be elected president,” he sneered. “It was just a groundswell of popular support, and anyone who thinks otherwise is just a freak or a criminal.”

The report left out, after saying this he had a full-on girly giggling fit...

"The Art of Losing an Election"....

"Trump’s Puerto Rico fallout is ‘spreading like wildfire’ in Pennsylvania. Many Puerto Rican voters in the state are furious about racist and demeaning comments delivered at a Trump rally. Some say their dismay is giving Kamala Harris a new opening to win over the state’s Latino voters, particularlynearly half a million Pennsylvanians of Puerto Rican descent."

"Evidence of the backlash was immediate on Monday: A nonpartisan Puerto Rican group drafted a letter urging its members to oppose Trump on election day. Other Puerto Rican voters were lighting up WhatsApp chats with reactions to the vulgar display and raising it in morning conversations at their bodegas. Some are planning to protest Trump’s rally Tuesday in Allentown, a majority-Latino city with one of the largest Puerto Rican populations in the state."

And you can add Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina, and FLORIDA...

His Garden rally was total political suicide...

Trump “didn’t make the comment about Puerto Rico. The comedian made the comment about Puerto Rico. But it is his political forum.”

The big F up is it had to be someone from Trumps cabin that said the former president is not associated with that joke. Trump should have been the one to say he didn't appreciate that joke and he has a lot of respect for Puerto Ricans. But hey this is a demo of what would happen if he did win, America wouldn't be able to control the racism it would just continue to grow. Silence is just as loud as the words being said sometimes

This is a reaching around of the highest order. 1924? Seriously? Must have been on today’s fax of talking points. I’m sure the other guy will be satisfied with it.

Many events of all kinds have been held there. But if the KKK thing matters, it should be noted that it’s the place where Trump incited his people on J6 to attack the Capitol. Interesting…

He's nothing if not consistent. Didn't he learn that strategy from someone - his father, or Roy Cohn - about never, ever admitting to being wrong and being on the attack 24/7?

It surely works for his base. It remains to be seen whether the rest of the US voting public are convinced.

You don’t get it. Trump’s campaign isn’t trying to backpedal this because of the Dems.

Trump has caused outrage among Latinos.

Meanwhile, Trump trolls them with the "absolute lovefest" comment and they lose their minds.

Trump says his New York rally marked by crude and racist insults was 'an absolute lovefest'

Indeed - it was a lovefest for every degenerate, putrid, racist that attended...

i wish Trump would just come out and admit it - this was a "surrender party" for his white supremacist base...a "bigot blow-out"....

There was the clown comic and his racist jokes, then Tucker Carlson got up and had a girly giggling fit, then Rudy had his five minutes where he blew a gasket and got red-faced, then some Jimmy Swaggert imitator calling Harris the "antichrist"....finally Trump comes out to show us all how far the ravages of dementia have fried his mind...

There was more hate there than when Melania found out about Stormy...well, almost...

I hope our MAGA friends here see this for what it was - Trump admitting "I'm going to lose" so time for a new hustle...

“The love in that room. It was breathtaking,” he said.

He sounds like an old hippie. But there is no love in Trump's world. He is only desperate for validation through self-aggrandisement - money and power - to fill the gaping hole in his self where love should be. And his minions will serve him this validation and nobody will learn anything. With him in power we move further from love.

Yes

the same term he has used to describe the Jan 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

Not really, more like Americans have the right to question their government.

To Trump "love" means people paid attention to him, then later sent him more money.

They don’t love Kamala, but they send her millions.

As has been reported for years he's narcissistically impaired, void of any sense of empathy or compassion,

Not what the parents say of the 13 who died during the disastrous Biden withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Trump has attracted a legion of followers similar to him, i.e. misanthropes that think they are the center of the universe who have no regard for other people.

You think the billionaires that are propping up Kamala love the average American?

The Trump cultists have no regard for any form of life other than themselves unless they think they can make money from it.

No, that’s why we make up the strongest small donations list and also we are the ones that are trying to protect the sanctity of life.

In their religion they worship Trump and themselves, and want to start religious wars in which those deemed 'enemy within' and/or 'other' are put in detention centers (concentration camps) for re-education, like the Vietnamese and South Korean governments did not too long ago.

Urged by some allies to apologize for racist comments made by speakers at his weekend rally, Donald Trump took the opposite approach on Tuesday, saying it was an “honor to be involved” in such an event and calling the scene a “lovefest” — the same term he has used to describe the Jan 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

Trump is unable to apologize for anything.

Calling it a lovefest let’s you know that he is deliberately lying.
