Trump defends controversial rally, calls it greatest evening in politics

Donald Trump defended his recent rally at Madison Square Garden, calling it the "greatest evening" in politics. He made these remarks during a speech in Allentown, Pennsylvania, despite facing criticism for racist comments made at the event. At the rally, Trump addressed Puerto Rico, claiming he had done more for the territory than any other president. He referenced past aid efforts following Hurricane Maria, while also responding to a supporter from Puerto Rico who expressed support for him. Trump's campaign initially distanced itself from a comedian's offensive remarks made at the rally but later he claimed not to know the comedian. He described the rally as a "lovefest" and emphasized the large turnout.
