Former President and 34-time convicted felon Donald Trump’s favorite tenor Christopher Macchio made an appearance at the Madison Square Garden rally on Oct. 27, 2024.

The tenor, whose recent performance schedule has been tied to Trump’s campaign, didn’t perform opera on this occasion. Instead, he performed Frank Sinatra’s classic “New York, New York” following Trump’s hour-long “weave.”

Macchio has been a part of the Trump campaign over the past year performing Puccini’s aria “Nessun Dorma” at the RNC and “Ave Maria” at the Oct. 7, 2024 Pennsylvania Rally. He also performed at CPAC.

Macchio has been nicknamed “America’s Tenor” by the Trump campaign and famously gave a concert at the White House in 2020 performing Puccini’s “Nessun dorma” as well as the “Ave Maria.” The tenor also appeared in the film “Cabrini,” which also featured internationally-renowned Mexican tenor Rolando Villazón.

The Madison Square Rally was an evening that displayed hateful rhetoric with comedian Tony Hinchcliffe calling Puerto Rico an “Island of Garbage” and saying Latinos “love making babies” and “come inside like they did to our country.” It also featured Rudy Giuliani saying, “The Palestinians are taught to kill us at two-years-old.” Finally, former Trump senior aide Stephen Miller echoed Joseph Goebbels’ infamous “Germany is for Germans – foreigners out” by proclaiming that “America is for Americans and Americans only.”
