Former President Donald Trump recently spoke about his involvement in a rally held at Madison Square Garden in New York City, describing it as a breathtaking experience. Trump expressed his gratitude, stating that it was an honor for him to be part of such a significant event.

During the rally, Trump highlighted the massive turnout, stating that the crowd was unlike any other he had seen before. However, the event also sparked controversy due to some speakers making insulting remarks towards Vice President Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, and Puerto Rico.

One speaker even referred to Puerto Rico as a 'floating island of garbage,' drawing criticism and backlash from various quarters. Despite the negative attention, Trump seemed unfazed and dismissed comparisons of the event to a 1939 pro-Nazi gathering at the same venue's previous location.
