Trump’s garbage truck stunt reminds voters of Puerto Rico slur while Harris also rallies in Wisconsin: Live

Puerto Rican-Dominican artist, Nicky Jam, has “renounced” his endorsement of Donald Trump, following the continuing fallout over remarks made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe at a recent rally at Madison Square Garden in New York.

In a video posted in Spanish on social media, the artist – real name Nick Rivera Caminero – said he had initially supported Trump because of the effects the poor US economy was having on immigrants.

“The reason that I supported Donald Trump is because I thought he would be better on the economy in the US where a lot of Latinos live – myself included,” he said. “There are a lot of immigrants who are suffering because of the economy and as a businessman I thought this was the best movement.”

“Never in my life did I think that just one month later a comedian would show up and criticize my country, and speak poorly of my country. And for that, I revoke any support for Donald Trump.”

Caminero backed Trump at a rally in Vegas last month. The former president accidentally misgendered the artist while touting the endorsement, saying that he loved “her” music.

Rudy Giuliani’s sexual assault case hearing spiraled into chaos for two hours that ended with the former New York City mayor being muted by the judge.

The first oral arguments in the civil suit, brought by accuser Noelle Dunphy, unfolded on Wednesday after a series of delays in the case that was first filed in early 2023. Dunphy, who claims to be his former employee, is accusing Giuliani of wide-ranging misconduct, including sexual harassment, assault, battery and a hostile work environment. The hearing was streamed online and journalists were allowed to watch.

The remote hearing was plagued by technical difficulties, high-pitched acoustic feedback and confusion. At one point, Lev Parnas, a Ukrainian businessman and former Giuliani associate-turned-critic, tried to be admitted to the virtual meeting — a move that the ex-mayor vocally objected to. The judge didn’t let Parnas in. Justin Kelton, Dunphy’s lawyer, said he was a potential witness in the case.

In North Carolina, while discussing immigration, Donald Trump once again claimed that the US was “an occupied country” and that Election Day would mark the country’s “liberation.”

“But it will soon be an occupied country no longer - we will not let this happen,” he said.

“November 5, 2024 will be liberation day in America... on day one I will launch the largest deportation program in American history... I will rescue every city and town that has been invaded and conquered.”

Discussing his plan on taxation for older people, Donald Trump jokingly admitted he had a “conflict of interest.”

The former president, who is 78, told his supporters: “Our seniors they have a very fixed income some of them, I’m a senior too.”

“Some people would say he is a conflict of interest, these fakers back there [the media] [say] ‘he has a conflict of interest, he’s a senior, he’s gonna give himself a big tax break.’”

Donald Trump noted the lack of endorsement for the Democrats from major publications including The Washington Post and The Los Angeles Times, offering his own reason for why that was.

“Have noticed that the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times are not endorsing anyone – you know what they’re really saying? Because they only endorse Democrats,” he said.

“They’re saying this Democrat is no good. And they think I’m doing a great job they just don’t want to say it.”

Trump also noted his recent endorsement from NASA hero Buzz Alrin, the second man on the moon, who he described as as “great astronaut.” “Isn’t that nice? So thankyou Buzz Aldrin... and I like him too, I’ve always admired him.”
