Trump slår tillbaka mot Clintons nazistliknelse

Donald Trump kommer att hålla ett kampanjmöte i Madison Square Garden, vilket har fått Hillary Clinton att likna honom vid amerikanska nazister på 30-talet.

– Trump försöker faktiskt återskapa Madison Square Garden-mötet 1939, sa Hillary Clinton till CNN på torsdagskvällen när hon diskuterade huruvida Trump uppfyllde villkoren för att kallas fascist.

På fredagskvällen svarade Trump under ett kampanjmöte i Michigan.

– Hon sa att det är precis som på 30-talet. Nej, nej. Det kallas ”Make America great again”. Jag förstår inte vad som pågår med henne, säger Trump.

Madison Square Garden är en av världens mest kända sportarenor och hemmaplan för NHL-laget Rangers och NBA-laget Knicks. På 30-talet hölls även ett stort möte med amerikanska nazister på arenan.

bakgrund
 
Madison Square Garden
Wikipedia (en)
Madison Square Garden, colloquially known as the Garden or by its initials MSG, is a multi-purpose indoor arena in New York City. It is located in Midtown Manhattan between Seventh and Eighth Avenues from 31st to 33rd Street above Pennsylvania Station. It is the fourth venue to bear the name "Madison Square Garden"; the first two, opened in 1879 and 1890 respectively, were located on Madison Square, on East 26th Street and Madison Avenue, with the third Madison Square Garden (1925) farther uptown at Eighth Avenue and 50th Street. The Garden hosts professional ice hockey, professional basketball, boxing, mixed martial arts, concerts, ice shows, circuses, professional wrestling, and other forms of sports and entertainment. It is close to other midtown Manhattan landmarks, including the Empire State Building, Koreatown, and Macy's at Herald Square. It is home to the New York Rangers of the National Hockey League (NHL), the New York Knicks of the National Basketball Association (NBA), and was home to the New York Liberty of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) from 1997 to 2017. Originally called Madison Square Garden Center, the Garden opened on February 11, 1968, and is the oldest major sporting facility in the New York metropolitan area. It is the oldest arena in the NBA and the second-oldest in the NHL, after Seattle's Climate Pledge Arena. As of 2016, MSG is also the second-busiest music arena in the world in terms of ticket sales. Including its two major renovations in 1991 and 2013, the Garden's total construction cost was approximately $1.1 billion, and it has been ranked as one of the 10 most expensive arena venues ever built. It is part of the Pennsylvania Plaza office and retail complex, named for the railway station. Several other operating entities related to the Garden share its name.
