In the final stretch of the US presidential campaign, Donald Trump made a bold move by holding a rally at Madison Square Garden in New York, a Democratic stronghold. This decision to hold the rally in his home town was seen as a strategic move by Trump to boost his own ego, according to France 24’s international affairs commentator Douglas Herbert.
The rally was marked by crude and sometimes racist insults from both Trump and other speakers, drawing criticism from many who viewed it as a display of narcissism. Despite the controversial nature of the event, Trump seemed undeterred as he made his final appeals to voters in a bid to secure another term in office.
As the nail-biting campaign comes to a close, it is clear that Trump’s unapologetic and ego-driven approach continues to polarize the American electorate. The outcome of the election remains uncertain, but one thing is certain – Trump’s rally in Democratic NYC was a reflection of his larger-than-life personality and penchant for controversy.
