It was just a few weeks ago when Donald Trump held his closing rally at New York City’s famed Madison Square Garden. It was a raucous affair with appearances from Tucker Carlson, JFK Jr., JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard, Melania Trump, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and many more.
You remember that rally—it was the one that shrill, fear-mongering Democrats compared to a Nazi hatefest:
Disgusting Rhetoric: 'Disgusting': Hillary Clinton Says Trump Rally Will Be 'Reenacting' 1939 Nazi Event, Team Trump Responds
James Carville: Trump's Madison Square Garden Rally Will 'Mimic' a Nazi Rally!
Well the people finally got their say in the matter on November 5 and they gave Trump massive wins in both the popular vote and the Electoral College, rejecting Kamala Harris and the dark vision of the Democrats. It’s unbelievable how much the world has changed since then—and some of the names mentioned above are now Cabinet picks.
On Saturday night, the president-elect (I can’t wait till January when I can drop the "elected" part) showed up once again to MSG, this time to watch some UFC action with his buddy UFC President Dana White.
The crowd was deafening:

You could barely hear the announcers over the cheering. “The sound!” one of them exclaimed. “It is SO loud in here! It is so loud!” said another (think, it’s hard to tell).
You know Reuters had to be holding their noses as they admitted that the support for Trump was overwhelming:
President-elect Donald Trump arrived at a heavily guarded Madison Square Garden in New York City on Saturday night to attend an Ultimate Fighting Championship event and celebrate his election victory with many of his supporters.
Known by some in the mixed martial arts world as the "Combatant in Chief," Trump counts UFC President Dana White as a close friend and considers fans of the sport part of his political base.
Trump entered the arena to loud music and waved to the crowd, many of whom returned the gesture. Among those joining him were House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, a close Trump adviser, singer Kid Rock and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whom he plans to nominate for secretary of Health and Human Services.
Trump did some dance moves as his signature campaign song, "YMCA," played over the loudspeaker. He eventually sat down and was talking animatedly to Musk.

Note to Hillary Clinton and James Carville—this is not Hitler, and these aren’t Nazis. These are the American people, the ones you forgot or demonized. They’re ready for change, and now they’ve got it.
Victory tastes so sweet.
