Trump ‘Waving the White Flag’ as He Makes Surprising Return to NYC, Claims Top Democrat

Donald Trump’s quixotic desire to hold a rally in New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Sunday was ridiculed by the state’s governor who suggested he was giving up by going to a place where he stands no chance of winning.

Appearing on MSNBC’s “The Weekend,” Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) called Trump’s planned appearance “waving the white flag” and admitting it is over.

“I will not be at Madison Square Garden although we’ll make sure it’s fully protected by his state police and NYPD, so that’s our responsibility,” she told the hosts. “But I have another reason why I think he’s coming here. I think he’s waving the white flag of surrender and he’s coming back to a city he knows well.”

“He’s comfortable here and maybe he’d like to sleep in his own bed and as you get older you want that comfort of what you know,” she continued. “And I think given that all the interviews he’s canceled and the rallies he’s canceled … I mean, Kamala Harris is in Pennsylvania today. She’s in Philadelphia.”

“Donald Trump is coming back to his known familiar environment and if he wants to stay here for nine days, I’ll make sure he’s got tickets to Broadway … maybe that will help inspire him to do the right thing,” she joked.
