Former President Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, on Sunday took a moment out of his roughly 80-minute Madison Square Garden screed against Democratic leadership to thank one member of the party: Mayor Eric Adams.

“You know who I want to thank? Mayor Adams,” Trump said during his speech, which capped off an hours-long rally at the iconic New York City arena on Oct. 27 that featured numerous speakers who offered crude, often racist remarks in support of Trump.
