“I am the next Hitler.” Where are you all going? That’s it, lawsuit! I win.
I hate to surprise the author, but it’s November.
The racist joke was made in October.
“Trump blasts critics slamming him for his unexpected ‘October Surprise-gate’…” when do I get my press credentials?
He never had a huge lead
Yes. I don’t want that part to be true. I’ll take a narrow victory any time, though.
So why did you post it?
It’s helpful to hear what’s out in the information pool not just what you want to believe.
Exactly. It is also information like this that motives other events.
The other point is that, as the latest from Nate Silver,
At this point, there’s enough new polling that it’s hard to know exactly what’s influencing the model, but Harris is gaining in our forecast,
Reversing the past week’s polling showing the GOP and MAGA gaining. So even if you didn’t believe the previous polls about this, the fact that the polls themselves are starting to now trend blue is interesting in and of itself.
The walls of Mar a Lago will run red with ketchup tonight!
Other than the Puerto Rico joke, what else was bad in it? I mean to actually affect anything because it’s amazing how much insanity some people have accepted.
Other than the Puerto Rico joke, what else was bad in it?
Calling Latinos in the crowd at the event evidence of illegal border crossing, racist stereotype about blacks, racist stereotype against jews, a few more. None of it was funny, all of it was offensive, and very few of the crowd responded well to it. It was cringeworthy.
Here’s a list from just that rally:
Former president Donald Trump hosted a rally where speakers made numerous vulgar and racist remarks inside New York’s Madison Square Garden on Sunday.
Speakers at the rally called Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, “the Antichrist” and attacked Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee eight years ago, as a “sick son of a b****.”
Speakers also made racist comments about Latinos and Black people, both key voting blocs in the election that is just over a week away. Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe branded Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” said Latinos love “making babies” and joked about “carving watermelons” with a Black friend for Halloween, while radio host Sid Rosenberg called the event “a Nazi rally.”
Here, Newsweek rounds up some of the most shocking comments made at the rally.

‘Floating Island of Garbage’
Tony Hinchcliffe, a stand-up comic, said: “I don’t know if you guys know this, but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. Yeah. I think it’s called Puerto Rico.”
Trump senior adviser Danielle Alvarez told Newsweek that the “joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign.”
‘These Latinos, They Love Making Babies’
“Believe it or not, people, I welcome migrants to the United States of America with open arms. And by open arms, I mean like this,” Hinchcliffe said, while waiving his hands and mouthing: “No, go back.”
He added: “It’s wild. And these Latinos, they love making babies too, just know that. They do, they do. There’s no pulling out. They don’t do that. They come inside, just like they did to our country.”
‘We Carved Watermelons Together’
Hinchcliffe also pointed to a man in the audience before saying: “That’s cool, Black guy with a thing on his head. What the hell is that, a lamp shade? Look at this guy! Oh, my goodness. Wow! I’m just kidding, that’s one of my buddies. He had a Halloween party last night. We had fun, we carved watermelons together. It was awesome!”
Harris Is ‘the Antichrist’
“In fact, she is the devil, whoever screamed that out. She is Antichrist,” said David Rem, a sanitation worker billed as Trump’s childhood friend, although it has been reported the pair met for the first time just two weeks ago.
Harris and ‘Pimp Handlers’
“Kamala Harris is the least qualified candidate to ever run for any political office in American history,” businessman Grant Cardone told the crowd.
“She makes her boss look competent. She’s a fake. I’m not here to invalidate her. She’s a fake, a fraud. She’s a pretender. Her and her pimp handlers will destroy our country. They will.”
‘Nazi rally’
“I just got back from Israel about two weeks ago. They love Trump in Israel. Just you know, they love him,” radio personality Sid Rosenberg said.
“I get back and they go, ‘Sid, you want to speak at this MSG thing?’ I go, ‘Sure—out of character for me to speak at a Nazi rally. I was just in Israel.’ But I took the gig.”
‘Sick Son of a B****’
“She is some sick b******, that Hillary Clinton, huh?” Rosenberg said. “What a sick son of a b****. The whole f****** party. A bunch of degenerates. Lowlives, Jew-haters, and lowlives. Every one of 'em. Every one of 'em.”
‘Nazi rally’
“I just got back from Israel about two weeks ago. They love Trump in Israel. Just you know, they love him,” radio personality Sid Rosenberg said.
“I get back and they go, ‘Sid, you want to speak at this MSG thing?’ I go, ‘Sure—out of character for me to speak at a Nazi rally. I was just in Israel.’ But I took the gig.”
Just fucking up and admitting the republican party under trump is Nazis.
Oh, wait, I forgot, It’S jUsT a JoKe just like every other time they’ve seen a negative reaction to their bigotry.
Man i may have to nominate him for the noble prize if Trump loses. Man may have single handedly saved the democracy.
If hes smart his come back tour will be titled ‘your welcome’ and it’ll riff on just white people.

Not clear that Trump ever had that lead. Lots of doctored numbers in 2022 and 2024. But I don’t expect Fortune to cover that well.
Even the doctored numbers were not showing a huge lead.
He created his own surprise by giving a mic a blowjob on the stage. Just another day with the Orange Turd leading a MAGA idiot charge.
Looking fresh
Such a manly man. Pretending to give a blow job…
YMCA plays in background
Took the mask of just a little bit to soon.
With Musk on his side, I’m waiting for them to announce lawsuits trying to sue voters for trying to leave the GOP
I want to believe this. I really do. Maybe the surprise will be that it really did happen.
But I’m not confident. I’m expecting it to be razor-thin, with results unclear even days later.
He’s gonna call it at an hour after polls close in nevada (red mirage) and just spam lawsuits in every swing state. He’ll then point at those lawsuits as proof that he won and the election is stolen. We’ll have to wait until December to see if the Supreme Court crowns him king.
Yup exactly this. Republicans tend to vote early and be in areas that get counted faster; It’s easier to count 1000 rural votes than it is to count 10000 urban votes. So he’ll take the early numbers and declare victory, then send it all the way to the SCOTUS when the blue votes begin to catch up. And (unless something drastically shifts and there is a major upset in the court) the SCOTUS will hand it to him.
He probably get the courts to shut down voting like they during Gore and courts will make him the winner just to find out to late that he lost by huge numbers.
I swear if that happens and we don’t shut down this country with a general strike then America is done.
Yeah, I’m not expecting anything less than razor thin margins. Either side has it.
