Fallout continues after Trump 'Hate' Rally offends US Puerto Rican voters
DONALD TRUMP rally inside MADISON SQUARE GARDEN (New York City). It was held last Sunday (10-27-2024). Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called the island of Puerto Rico "garbage." It offended many undecided Puerto Rican voters in the U.S. They have now cast their votes for Kamala Harris as President.
General Election is Nov. 5, 2024.
Trump visits Albuquerque to hold a Republican rally on Oct. 31, 2024 (Halloween). Why? Because New Mexico is a "blue" Democratic state. The 5 electoral votes went to Hillary Clinton in 2016 and to President Biden in 2020. They will probably go to Kamala Harris in 2024.
The City of Albuquerque is still owed $444,986 including interest from the Trump campaign. He visited New Mexico in 2016 and 2019.
Below is a report from "Meidas-Touch" online news.

Trump 'Hate' Rally in Madison Square Garden Oct. 27, 2024
DONALD TRUMP rally inside the MADISON SQUARE GARDEN (New York City). The Presidential Election is Nov. 5, 2024 with 8 days to go. A "hate" filled rally by Trump's closest supporters and fans took aim at minorities in the U.S. Misogynist and racist speeches ran nearly 4 hours before Trump walked onto the stage.
This is nothing new with Trump who has spent the last 10 years hating on "minorities." His campaign had to separate from Tony Hinchcliffe who called the island of Puerto Rico "garbage." He is supposed to be a comedian but his racist jokes didn't land too well. His speech has gone viral over the Internet and has offended thousands of Puerto Rican US citizens.
The outrage has hit the major and local news outlets in the U.S. Thousands of Puerto Ricans are also going on TIK TOK and INSTAGRAM websites. They have decided to vote Kamala Harris as U.S. President.
The Trump campaign made a big mistake because Puerto Ricans total over 200,000 registered voters in the U.S. It is being reported that those "undecided" made their decision after Trump's rally.

Classic Movie Flashback 'Children of a Lesser God' 1986 with William Hurt
CHILDREN OF A LESSER GOD distributed by PARAMOUNT pictures (1986). It was critically acclaimed because of the subject matter (People who are deaf and cannot hear). The production budget climbed to $10.5 million. It reached $101 million at the world wide box office. It was surprisingly more popular outside of the United States.
"Children" was adapted from the stage theatre play (1979) of the same name. It was a hit on Broadway (1980) in New York and won several Tony awards including best drama. It ran until 1982 before closing.
The story focuses on a deaf woman (Marlee Matlin) who is a custodian at a school for the hearing impaired. A male speech teacher (William Hurt) comes to the school. Him and the custodian fall in love.
"Children" hit the mainstream and the focus on "deafness" was very positive. It was also the debut film of Marlee Matlin who won the Oscar as Best Actress (1987). She was the youngest to win (21 yrs.) in the Academy show history. Plus, the first deaf actress to also win.
Matlin was very good but I think William Hurt gave a strong performance through his "sign language." He was Oscar nominated as Best actor for that year.
This was 1986 and the film was praised by everyone including the "deaf" community. Sadly, this kind of movie would never be repeated by a Hollywood studio.
Below is the movie trailer for "Children of a Lesser God" 1986.
