Hispanic opposition is growing due to the remarks of a close aide who called Puerto Rico a "garbage island," but former President Trump fueled the controversial New York campaign, saying it was like a festival of love.
In the run-up to the presidential election, he chose to gather supporters rather than apologize, but his wife, Melania, and Bannon, a longtime investigator, also started to gather forces.

Former President Trump Holds Unscheduled Emergency Press Conference,
The remarks were expected to quell the repercussions of the pro-choice speaker's remarks that
'Puerto Rico is a trash island'.
But what former President Trump said was the opposite.
[Donald Trump/ Former U.S. President] No one would have seen anything like the one in Madison Square Garden. It was full of love. It was like a festival of absolute love and it was an honor to attend.
He went a step further, saying he would help victims by seizing illegal immigrant crime syndicate assets, and he voiced criticism of Vice President Harris' response to the border.
[Donald Trump/ Former U.S. President] She has 21 million immigrants across the United States. I might have to go back home and get a job somewhere in a little while now.
Instead of appeasing the anger of Puerto Rican voters, the strategy is to rally supporters to break through.
At the end of the presidential election, reliable supporters also came forward.
Melania, his wife, who rarely appeared during the presidential election, defended Harris' attack, saying in an interview with Fox News following her New York campaign on the 27th that her husband was not Hitler.
My husband says he wants to make America successful and knows he's advocating for abortion rights, and he'll vote on the day of the presidential election.
Kingmaker Steve Bannon, who contributed to Trump's victory in the 2016 presidential election, is also back.
As soon as he was released from prison after serving a four-month sentence for refusing to attend a hearing related to the parliamentary intrusion, he showed off his robustness by hosting the podcast "War Room."
[Steve Bannon/Former White House Chief Strategist: Kamala Harris called you fascists and fantastic, amazing rallies in Madison Square Garden that she can never make]
You're at the Fight Club, War Room.
Vice President Harris put up an ad saying Puerto Rico deserves better and pressured former President Trump.
As the presidential election is nearing its end, attention is being paid to whether former President Trump's strategy to rally his supporters will hit the mark.
