A political history of ‘The Garden’​



Madison Square Garden, where Donald Trump and JD Vance are scheduled to hold a fundraiser and rally today, has a long history of political events. Some have been peaceful. Some have not.

Much of the commentary this weekend can be expected to focus on another historical antecedent, from 1939, when more than 20,000 people, many wearing Nazi armbands, filled the Garden for a “Pro America Rally” in support of Adolf Hitler.

Inside, on a stage draped with Nazi banners, red, white and blue bunting and a 30-foot portrait of George Washington, speakers railed against the “Jewish-controlled press” and referred to the president as Franklin “Rosenfeld.” One approvingly called Washington “America’s first fascist.”

Attendees paid 40 cents to $1.10 to enter.

For Trump’s Sunday event, top donors are offered an “Ultra MAGA Experience” for $924,600.


trump is admitting defeat. He knows that he will lose NY by double digits. Hell...he can't even show up in the city without getting shunned by the masses.
His Wall St. backers are starting to slow their donations. I believe they are cutting their losses now.
