Trump's Speech at Madison Square Garden in New York City
On Sunday, October 27th, 2024, campaigning President Donald Trump held his final rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City (NYC). The historic political event’s guest speakers included: Speaker of the House and Liberty University Professor Mike Johnson; Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.; Tucker Carlson; Elon Musk; Rudy Giuliani; Tony Hinchcliffe; JD Vance, and many others. With just over a week before the Presidential election, the political tension could not be higher.
On one hand, a Democratic politician dominated by the establishment and administrative bureaucracy; on the other hand, a Republican candidate tasked with restoring the national detriment incurred since the national government’s mishandling of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic.
Donald Trump’s political rally at Madison Square Garden (MSG) stood representative of the working-class inherent civic power, as they endured nearly a half-decade of hardship under the current Biden regime.
Trump’s speech spoke on the current state of immigration and inflation; stating his focus would be advancing the frontiers of science, medical, technology, and space. Trump declared that he was “asking you to get excited.” Trump assured Americans that with his presidency, he would bring America into a New Golden Age; “[t]he fate of the nation is in your hands;” adding, “Kamala, you’re fired; get out!” Specifically, Trump’s promises included, “no taxation on tips, overtime, or social security,” and a tax credit for family caregivers; fully tax deductible interest on car loans; attaining energy independence, (drill, baby, drill); the termination of the Green New Scam. Additionally, Trump promised to “cut energy bills in half” during his second incumbency.
One notable foreign policy initiative was to impose tariffs to reduce foreign competition. Moreover, Trump proposed the Trump Reciprocal Trade Act (TRTA); alongside the reenactment of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. Trump asked Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, “you hear that Mr. Speaker? Get ready!” Trump, defending our current economic system whilst respecting the taxpayer added, will be 10 years in prison for illegal immigrants who reenter after deportation; and the death penalty for any immigrant who kills an American or law enforcement officer. Lastly, banning all sanctuary cities; and return the investment of government spending back into the constituents funding every member’s incumbency.
Trump spoke on Biden’s atrocious exit from Afghanistan, whereby he displayed his weakness as commander in chief; this recklessness likely inspired Putin to invade Ukraine. Worse, it caused the millions of dollars of American military weapons and technology to be taken for use in the persistence of international war—and abandoned over thirteen U.S. soldiers. Americans should not be persistently engaged in foreign warfare, especially when Congress has not issued a formal declaration of war. Trump reminded America that he was the only president in 84 years that didn’t start a war.
On lowering national inflation, Trump will end all plans for the Green New Scam (formally known as the Green New Deal). On Biden, Trump declared the incumbent pol to be “weak” and “not smart;” alongside his opponent campaigning for presidency Kamala, who is “purely a vessel” of the “radical left machine.” Trump is a man unafraid to declare America “the most important country in the world;” that all American citizens ought to agree. Ensuring the fortification of America’s necessities will enable it to better suit the needs of its international allies. U.S. President, Trump contended is “a very dangerous profession.”
Trump hinted at his ‘secret agreement’ with Speaker Mike Johnson, calling it “our little secret,” mentioned that he will disclose its details following the election. In my time spent learning from Speaker Mike Johnson from Liberty University, the agreement will likely enact policy to bolster the resilience of American traditionalist values and begin to return our nation’s statutes to their original meaning and intentions; and strike down ineffective tyrannic legislation. This does not mean forcing faith or any ideology upon the constituency; rather impeding the Leviathan from supplanting its own interests over any individual’s moral compass or infringing upon inherent God-given rights.
On Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Trump promised he would “let him go wild” but would have to keep Kennedy away from oil and gas—citing a conflict of interest in their policies. No matter the specificities between the two men, the concurrent objectives include the limiting of government from personal decision-making and the bolstering of regional commonwealth and national defense.
On Kamala Harris, Trump referred to her as a “radical left Marxist” which is a far more favorable description than she deserves. Kamala has not taken action whatsoever, unlike even the radical left Marxist who at least attempts to actualize their belief system—however detestable. Kamala has taken no action. Yet, inaction is itself a decision, thus her inaction can be depicted as her actualization of passive anarchism. But these are not qualities that will improve the state of this nation. Trump reminded Americans that it is Harris who strives to defund police, abolish ICE, ban fracking, and provide free sex changes to detained illegal aliens. Worse, Kamala Harris lied about ever working at McDonalds.
On entertainment, Trump gave the shoutout of a lifetime; whereby asking “did anybody watch Joe Rogan recently?” A reminder that this nation is on the right track, when the passion of independent podcasters, entrepreneurs, and family caregivers are recognized, rather contributing further to than our nation’s discourse. Emphasizing if, Trump stated “[i]f we pull this off, this will be the biggest political event in the history of our country.” Trump cited he has incurred more legal battles than the late great Al Capone. Trump, showing his character and ability to be objective when necessary, thanked New York Mayor Eric Adams. Trump’s monumental rally concluded with his words, “Thank you New York, and God bless,” as a cover of Frank Sinatra’s New York, New York was played.
Unlike Trump’s Democratic opponent Kamala Harris, his candidacy does not seek to revolutionize the nation, but aims for the opportunity to revolutionize the bureaucracy. To do this, Trump will appoint skilled experts—like Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.—ad hoc to focus on specific problems; namely working against the encroaching state of bureaucracy. Trump noted the most important difference in his speech from other candidates: he does not rely on the teleprompter. This means, (1) he knows what he is talking about; and (2) his ideas are self-originated, not an external agenda.
Trump’s candidacy for President, overall, strives to reduce government intervention and invigorate opportunities to achieve self-sufficency. Jesus reminds us in scripture that, “[n]o one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money,” (Matthew 6:24; ESV). Trump does not strive to be a national dictator, nor administrative ringleader; rather he looks to focus on healing the destruction that the country has incurred following the mishandling of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic. The best government is one that grants its citizens autonomy; and that recognizes the diversity of the faith of its citizenry.
The bottom line, Trump’s policy strives to straighten out the country; including (1) no war and the preclusion of WWIII; (2) the hiring of, and the building and buying from Americans; (3) the protection of the homeland; (4) the defense of religious liberty; (5) the defense of free speech; (6) the mending of the current economic crisis; (7) making the republican party the party of inclusion, bridging the divide no matter the partisanship.
Conclusion
In sum, Trump’s New York City rally will leave a legacy in American Political history; a reminder that under multifaceted threats to the Republic and contemporary circumstances the people are granted representation apart from administration. The actions of this generation stand to shape the liberties of Americans unto posterity; thus the methodology of contemporary government ought to be ad hoc, including the removal of unnecessary statutes and taxes (like income tax) alongside the simultaneous reenactment of traditional laws applicable to modern prosperity for all American citizens. The nation ought to consider its own condition, and the origin of its legislative tradition; that includes expanding many new frontiers apart from the bureaucracy—returning the power of representation back to the people.
