Chaos, naked cowboy and abuse: Trump spectacle snarls New York

Police, Secret Service agents and plainclothes officers swarmed the area, a hive of activity that included a rail, subway and bus station, as well as the 20,000-capacity “MSG” arena.

“We hope that people will be happy on November 6,” the day after the vote, said retired university professor Salvador, 70, from Barcelona as he and his wife pushed through Trump supporters.

“We wanted to come and have a look, it’s interesting for me. Some people assume we are against America – but that is just left-wing politics in Europe,” he said before heading to the airport to return home.

Some tourists stumbled into the melee, checking mapping apps to see how to get out while their children surveyed the scene.

Fifty-five-year-old Democratic supporter Laura, who works in the lifestyle industry, brought her Trump-supporting son to the rally “and then we can talk about it and discuss it later,” she said.

“I don’t think all Trump people are bad,” she said. “Actually, people are much more normal than I thought.”
