Trump sets closing arguments in speech at Madison Square Garden

October 27, 2024 – NEW YORK CITY, NY - former President Donald J. Trump spelled out why he thinks the American people should give him a second term in the Whitehouse during a nationally televised speech at Madison Square Garden, New York.

President Trump denounced the Biden-Harris administration's immigration policies which have allowed ten million people into the country in less than four years and promised to reverse those policies and launch the largest deportation program in American history.

"The United States is now an occupied country, but it will soon be an occupied country no longer," said Trump. "Not going to be happening. Not going to be happening. November 5th, 2024, nine days from now will be Liberation Day in America. It's going to be Liberation Day. On day one, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history. Going to get the criminals out. I will rescue every city in town that has been invaded and conquered and we will put these vicious and bloodthirsty criminals in jail. Going to kick them the hell out of our country as fast as possible. And to expedite removals of Tren de Aragua and other savage gangs like MS-13, which is equally vicious. I will invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. Think of that. That's how far back. That's when they had law and order."

"I'm hereby calling for the death penalty for any migrant that kills an American citizen or a law enforcement officer," added Trump. "Under Kamala, America is a sanctuary for criminals. And for illegal aliens that are in our country illegally, I will immediately ban all sanctuary cities in the United States."

"Kamala Harris is a train wreck who has destroyed everything in her path," said Trump. "To make her president would be a gamble with the lives of millions and millions of people. She would get us into World War III."

"We had the best economy, we had no inflation," Trump said of the American economy between 2017 and 2021. "And inflation has destroyed a lot of seniors on fixed income and a lot of people in this room have been virtually destroyed by inflation. You wouldn't have had inflation. They screwed up our energy and it went up so much. And then they started spending far too much money on things like the Green New scam, which is just a scam, just a complete scam."

Trump commented on a potential super power war with China.

"I saw the other day a report that they issued that if we end up in a war with China, we cannot win," said Trump. "We're not strong enough. So I said to myself, 'Assuming that's true, how stupid are you to put out a report like that? How stupid? Why would you put out a report?' Then they'll say, 'Oh, Trump is not truthful.' No, I'm smart. You don't put out reports like that. And it's not true. We would kick their ass."

"So if you want to end this disaster, you got to get out and vote," said Trump. "Just go out and vote. You got to get out. We have to put it away. We're close. We're so close. Usually the Republicans are losing in the first week and the early voting. Now we did something that has not been done. I don't think, Speaker, this has been done yet, but it's been done for us. We're leading every one of the swing states, all seven of them."

"We're thrilled to be joined today by an incredible group of patriots who are going to help us save our country, including our next vice president, JD Vance," said Trump.

Trump went on to introduce Elon Musk, his wife – Melania Trump, Usha Vance – J.D.'s wife, his sister, and then an Alabama U.S. Senator.

"We have a senator here who I love, Senator Tommy Tuberville," said Trump. "And he is from a great place, Alabama. I love Alabama. I'm up in Alabama by 49 points, 49 points. We're up by a lot in a lot of different places but it's a great place. And thank you, Tommy, and all of our other great Congressmen. We have so many. If I ever named them, we're going to be up here a long time. They're going to be angry. They won't speak to me for probably a month or so, but it'll calm down after that, right, Matt Gaetz? It'll calm down. It'll calm down. But we have great, great people and they're really doing a job. And we're going to turn this country around. With me, we got to get the Congressmen elected and we got to get the Senators elected because we can take the Senate pretty easily."

It would not be a Trump rally without attacks on his opponent.

"Here are the facts, Kamala Harris is a radical left Marxist rated even worse than crazy Bernie Sanders or Pocahontas," said Trump. "She destroyed our economy. She was an original creator of defund the police. Can you believe it? She was one of the originals for defund the police. And anybody who wants to defund our great police for even one week is not worthy of being President of the United States. Because that's where her thinking is. Kamala vowed to abolish ICE. You know those tough people you've been looking up at the screen? They're the ones that get them out of our country. I know a lot of people right in these rows, they're very tough. They don't want any part of it. They got to go in there to move them."..... "She wants to ban fracking. And as California Attorney General, she redefined child sex trafficking, assault with a deadly weapon, and rape of an unconscious person as a totally nonviolent crime. She pledged to confiscate your guns." "And endorsed a total ban on handgun ownership. I don't think that's good. When a criminal crawls into your house at night, it would be nice to be able to at least have a chance, wouldn't it? Wouldn't it be... She even called for free sex change operations on illegal aliens in detention at taxpayer expense."

Trump has devoted a lot of resources into growing the Republican base.

"So Jews and Muslims and Catholics and Evangelicals and Mormons, and they're all joining our cause in large numbers," Trump said. "The Republican Party has really become the party of inclusion. And that's something very nice about that. And we're a big powerful party. And they're losing it. They're really losing it. Together, we will lift America to glory beyond your wildest dreams."

Trump has little chance of winning New York; but by focusing efforts on the state he hopes to increase Republican turnout which should improve the chances of Republicans in down ballot races – particularly in Congress and the New York Legislature. That might be enough for Republicans to hold the majority in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the lower house of the New York Legislature.

The election is on Tuesday, November 5.
