Trump defends NY rally with crude remarks, calls it absolute lovefest

Quick Summary:

Trump gathered supporters and reporters to his Mar-a-Lago resort two days after a massive rally at Madison Square Garden featured a number of crude remarks by various speakers, including a set by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe in which he joked that Puerto Rico was a floating island of garbage.

Urged by some allies to apologise for racist comments made by speakers at his weekend rally, Donald Trump took the opposite approach on Tuesday, saying it was an honour to be involved in such an event and calling the scene a lovefest - the same term he has used to describe the Jan.6 insurrection at the US Capitol.

Some of Trump's top Republican allies have condemned the remarks, and his campaign took the rare step of publicly distancing itself from Hinchcliffe's joke, though not the other comments.
