Donald Trump accused Kamala Harris of destroying the United States during a rally in New York City, where he launched a vehement attack on his political rival. The former president further called for the death penalty for any migrant who kills an American citizen, emphasizing his tough stance on immigration and crime.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump targeted Vice President Kamala Harris during a rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Sunday night.

"You've destroyed our country. We're not going to take it anymore, Kamala; you're fired. Get out. Get out. You're fired," Trump declared to the crowd, further labeling Harris as a "very low IQ individual."

"This election is a choice between four more years of gross incompetence and failure or beginning the greatest years in the history of our country," he stated.

Trump’s wife, Melania Trump, introduced him at the event, surprising attendees with her appearance, as she has largely stayed out of his campaign activities.

In a speech lasting around an hour and 15 minutes, Trump reiterated key promises he has emphasized throughout his campaign, such as cracking down on illegal immigration. He frequently linked gang violence to illegal immigration, vowing to stop what he called an "invasion of criminals coming into our country" if he wins the November 5 election.

He advocated for the death penalty for any migrant who kills an American citizen or law enforcement officer and proposed a new policy that would offer tax credits for family caregivers.

"If I win, we will quickly build the greatest economy in the history of the world. Which is what we had in our last term," Trump promised. He also pledged to "teach children to always respect our great American flag" and proposed making flag burning punishable by a year in jail.

Madison Square Garden was filled hours before Trump’s scheduled speech. Outside the venue, the sidewalks overflowed with his supporters wearing red "Make America Great Again" hats.

Leading up to Trump's speech, various introductory speakers at the 20,000-seat venue rallied the crowd with remarks against Harris, Puerto Rico, and Latinos, reflecting the tense atmosphere of one of America’s closest White House races.

David Rem, a childhood friend of Trump, referred to Harris, who aims to become the first woman elected president, as "the Antichrist" and "the devil." Meanwhile, Rudy Giuliani, former New York City mayor and Trump’s personal lawyer, claimed Harris was "on the side of the terrorists" in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and suggested she wanted to bring Palestinians to the United States.

Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe used crude language to joke about Latinos "loving making babies" and derogatorily described Puerto Rico as a "floating island of garbage." His remarks quickly drew criticism from Harris’ campaign and Puerto Rican musician Ricky Martin, one of Harris's earliest high-profile supporters.

"Puerto Ricans deserve a president who sees and invests in (their) strength," Harris responded in a social media clip that included Hinchcliffe's comments.
