Trump Hosts Massive Harris Get-Out-the-Vote Rally
Trump and his speakers gave one group after another reason to vote for Kamala Harris
Oct. 28: Trump speakers bash Puerto Ricans … Trump speakers bash Jews … Trump speakers bash Arabs… Trump campaign distances itself from just one of the rally’s remarks …
You can listen to the TFN podcast here.
In a stunning and touching display of bipartisanship and unity, former Pres. Donald Trump last night teamed up with the campaign of Vice Pres. Kamala Harris to make the case to tens of millions of voters to come together and support her vision of a diverse, unified America over his racist, misogynistic, antisemitic, dystopian, potpourri of flaming hate and boiling ignorance and festering resentments and involuntary celibacy.
During the rally at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, Trump and his slate of speakers carefully, strategically bolstered Harris’s message about his brine-soaked brain by methodically targeting women, New York, people of color, women of color, Black people of color, Black women of color, Black men of color, Puerto Rican people, Samoan people, Malaysian people, Arab people, Muslim people, Palestinian-American people, and people who don’t think Harris is the Antichrist.
All told, Trump and his speakers said all of the following and more:
Democrats are the “enemy from within” and “A bunch of degenerates.”
Undocumented immigrants are “fucking illegals.”
A Black man in the audience had “carved watermelon” the previous night.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is a “sick son of a bitch.”
Harris is “The Antichrist.”
Harris is a “Samoan, Malaysian, low-IQ, former California prosecutor.”
"When I [Trump] left, New York was the place you wanted to be and now people just don't speak well of it."1
Harris “and her pimp handlers will destroy our country."
Harris has “imported criminal migrants from prisons and jails, insane asylums and mental institutions from all around the world, from Venezuela to the Congo. A lot of people are coming from the Congo prisons… Over the last month, 181 countries violated our laws.”
“The Palestinians are taught to kill us at two-years old,” according falsely to former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. He added, “They won’t let a Palestinian in Jordan. They won’t let a Palestinian in Egypt. And Harris wants to bring them to you. [Crowd: “Noooo.”] They may have good people. I’m sorry, but I don’t take a risk with people who are taught to kill Americans at two,” and then headed home to his luxury apartment one more time before he has to give it to the Georgia election workers he defamed.
“When it comes to Israel and Palestine, we're all thinking the same thing: Settle your stuff already. Best out of three: rock, paper, scissors. You know Palestinians will throw rock every time. And also we know Jews have a hard time throwing that paper.”
"There's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now.2 I think it's called Puerto Rico."
Latinos “love making babies. There’s no pulling out. They cum inside, just like they do to our country.”
All those remarks were so helpful to Harris, that Politico cited them as the reason Harris won the day.
The only speaker too stupid to figure out that the rally was meant to inspire voters to choose Harris was Elon Musk, who’s so dumb he’s acquired more money than anyone in the world. According to Axios, Musk concluded the rally unable to read the room — even though it was massive — and apparently mistakenly went off-script by telling voters that Trump is the candidate of hope and optimism.
As for some of the other speakers, Grant Cardone is the guy who referred to Harris’s “pimp handlers.” It wasn’t clear whether Cardone meant that Harris is a sex worker who has multiple pimps or whether she has people who handle pimps. Either way, what is clear is that Cardone’s clients have included Google, Morgan Stanley, Toyota, GM, Nissan, Infiniti, and the U.S. Army.
Calling Harris “The Antichrist,” as Trump’s childhood friend David Rem did, was an obvious attempt to win over evangelicals who currently support Trump. Despite the documented evangelical lack of familiarity with The Bible, many of them are likely to know what it prophesies about The Antichrist.
Specifically, The Antichrist is predicted to unite the world peacefully and simplify the world’s economy by ensuring that people only have to deal with one fucking currency. How’s that for a campaign promise!
Also, according to The Bible, Jesus can’t return until The Antichrist rises to power, which is pretty much the ultimate campaign promise. Although, it’s not clear why we need Him with The Antichrist handling things so neatly.
About Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans
Apparently coordinating closely with the Trump campaign’s efforts to boost Puerto Rican turnout for her, Vice Pres. Kamala Harris was campaigning at a Puerto Rican restaurant during the rally.
While visiting the Philadelphia restaurant, Harris deftly took the baton from the Trump campaign and announced her commitment if elected to create a “Puerto Rican Opportunity Economy Task Force,” the kind of initiative unlikely to move the needle for a significant number of people and therefore unlikely to get any kind of favorable press coverage without the savvy boost she got from the Trump campaign.
A fun fact some MAGA voters might not know is that Puerto Rico is part of the United States of America. A fun fact some Democrats might not know is that Puerto Ricans can’t vote for president even though they’re part of the United States of America.
However, Puerto Ricans who’ve escaped their floating island of garbage tropical paradise now live in all of the states that will decide the election.
In Pennsylvania, 3.8% of residents are of Puerto Rican descent. That’s more than the 2020 electoral difference.
Georgia reportedly has 109,000 Boricuas, almost ten times the number of votes Trump really wanted Georgia officials to “find” in 2020.
Given all that fun Puerto Rico trivia, Trump campaign senior adviser Danielle Alvarez issued a statement after the Puerto Rico bashing, saying it "does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign." Which doesn’t rule out the possibility it just is the views of President Trump and the campaign.
And Alvarez had zip to say about everything else said last night, which apparently does reflect the views of President Trump and the campaign.
Fun fact! Some Republicans — especially in states with lots of Puerto Ricans — came forward to denounce the Puerto Rico-bashing and nothing else during the rally and TFN will be dutifully naming and quoting them the instant it’s backed up by anything substantive enough to show it’s motivated by anything beyond self-interest.
Okay, I’ll name one because it was so hilarious. Rep. Maria Salazar (R-FL), one of several Florida Republicans desperate not to piss off Puerto Rican voters, said:
“This rhetoric does not [sic] reflect GOP values.
“Puerto Rico sent 48,000+ soldiers to Vietnam, with over 345 Purple Hearts awarded. This bravery deserves respect.”
I don’t know about you, but TFN can’t think of a single reason you wouldn’t appeal to Trump’s well-known respect for the troops. And in Trump’s defense, his campaign yesterday showed exactly the same respect for Puerto Ricans that Trump has showed for wounded combat veterans.
Other folks pitched in to help educate Puerto Rican voters about what the Trump rally said about them. Those amplifying the Trump message to ensure Puerto Rican voters know about it include Bad Bunny, Ricky Martin, Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, and Luis Fonsi.
About Jews
The Harris campaign today will deftly take the Jewish-vote handoff from the Trump campaign.
At yesterday’s rally, former Pres. Donald Trump’s guest Tony Hinchcliffe’s remarks about Jews “having a hard time throwing that paper” reminded Jewish voters that some in Trump World either still think Jewish people are cheap or still think it’s still funny to still joke about Jewish people being cheap.
Hinchcliffe’s remarks were cannily programmed to coincide with the sixth anniversary of the deadliest antisemitic attack in American history. The shooter, Robert Bowers, reportedly was self-professed MAGA but considered Trump insufficiently antisemitic, surrounding himself with Jewish people.
This time around, Trump has worked hard to eradicate any such concerns. He has reminded Jewish voters that he sees the authenticity of their religious identity as inextricably tied to loyalty to him, playing on other antisemitic tropes about Jewish patriotism.
And, tonight, Vice Pres. Kamala Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, will pick up the theme, according to The Forward, a rare, actual example of what Trump supporters like to refer to as Jewish-controlled media.
The Forward, a Jewish independent nonprofit, reports that Emhoff, who is Jewish and has Jewish-controlled kids, will warn that Trump’s antisemitism isn’t the only warning flag for American Jews. “Whenever chaos and cruelty are given a green light, Jew-hatred is historically not far behind,” Emhoff argues in excerpts of his speech shared with The Forward.
“[I]f it suited his personal interests, [Trump] would turn his back on Israel and the Jewish people,” Emhoff is expected to say.
Emhoff will also explain that Trump has displayed some subtle signs of antisemitism, such as admiring Adolf Hitler. And dining with Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes. And pre-blaming Jews if he loses. Because how could blaming Jews for shit go wrong.
Trump Ad Reinforces How Terrible Trump Presidency Was
Former Vice Pres. Donald Trump’s campaign aired an ad yesterday for folks watching football instead of his rally. Like traitors.
The ad claims that America has “gone to hell” while it shows a picture of America…during the Trump administration. The picture is from 2020 Seattle, during the protests after Minneapolis police killed George Floyd even though he wanted to breathe.
Another ad discusses the Trump presidency in glowing terms…over video of a barbershop in Canada where Trump was not president. Yet.
About Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
The assassin who successfully killed the last surviving remnants of the Kennedy family legacy also spoke at yesterday’s Trump rally. No idea what Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., said, because even a non-Kennedy life’s too short to look that shit up.
But former Pres. Donald Trump promised that in a Trump administration, “I’m going to let [Kennedy] go wild on health.” But not just health! “I’m going to let him go wild on the food. I’ve got to let him go wild on medicines.”
Is there anything Trump would restrain the serial-abusing, roadkill-fricasseeing Kennedy from doing? Newsfuckers, there is.
Trump also said of Kennedy:
“The only thing I don’t think I’m gonna let him [Kennedy] even get near is the liquid gold that we have under our feet. I don’t know, Elon, he might not like liquid gold. It’s oil and gas, sometimes referred to as oil and gas. JD [Vance] I think we’re gonna have to keep him away from the oil and gas.”
The “oil and gas” to which Trump refers is one of Earth’s most rare and precious commodities: An issue on which Kennedy is not insane. People may no longer remember thanks to Kennedy’s Netanyahu-level eradication of the Kennedy legacy, but he was once known primarily as an environmental crusader, a foe of climate change.
A Note About Georgia
EXCLUSIVE Former Vice Pres. Donald Trump supposedly holds a teeny-tiny lead in Georgia over Vice Pres. Kamala Harris. Of course, that was before Georgia’s Puerto Ricans heard about yesterday’s rally.
But they probably haven’t seen this weekend’s TFN exclusive about Georgia. Whatever the rest of you Newsfuckers were doing this weekend, TFN was poring through obscure Federal Emergency Management Agency documents. How come?
Because in late 2020, Trump was trying to pressure Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) to help steal the election. Kemp, on the other hand, was trying to get millions of dollars in much-needed relief aid after Tropical Storm Zeta.
As Politico first reported, it took Trump 55 days to declare disasters in northern and western Georgia counties. As TFN first reported, Alabama finished its disaster assessment after Georgia did…but Trump gave Alabama its disaster declaration in just ten days.

Hilariously, brain-fuckedly, in the same speech, Trump said Mayor Bill DeBlasio (D-NY) did a terrible job — when New York was great — and praised the current mayor, Eric Adams (D-NY), who’s now under indictment. (Trump blamed the federal government for bringing immigrants to New York City because immigrants had never come to New York before.
This part’s actually true. Several oceans have massive garbage patches that actually should be high-priority campaign issues.
I appreciate that note about the actual garbage patch which is not a goddamn punchline, it's an actual disaster and need to be addressed properly, not by the incelfest jerks
Thanks Jonathan. Well the good news is that with all the MSG stupidity on display there is a golden future for more Fucking News.
Now I am going to have to watch this MSG shit show on YouTube. The fact that this election is this close is dispiriting. We are truly a nation of dumb-fucks.
Thanks for being a source of dark humor.
