Until this weekend, Donald Trump has spent most of his time at Madison Square Garden as an audience member, watching the Knicks or the Rangers with his kids, his wives, and fellow celebrities like Howard Stern and —this will excite some conspiracists — John F. Kennedy Jr. But on Sunday, Trump will finally headline the world’s most famous arena himself as one of the final stops in his third presidential campaign. Trump allies say he’s been “obsessed” with this idea for months, while one adviser told The Wall Street Journal that the rally will be a “pretty hot ticket” and that it will be “the biggest Trump rally we’ve ever seen.”

Not everyone in the liberal bastion of New York City is as happy as the Trump campaign. “Allowing Trump to hold an event at MSG is equivalent to the infamous Nazis rally at Madison Square Garden on February 20, 1939,” tweeted Brad Hoylman-Sigal, the state senator who represents the garden’s district. “This is a disastrous decision by Madison Square Garden.”

Who exactly made the decision to book Trump is an open question, but at some point the paperwork must have crossed the desk of its hands-on CEO and owner, James Dolan. For years, it has been difficult to pin down Dolan’s politics, the billionaire son of the guy who co-founded HBO and who has donated to both Democrats and Republicans, swapping parties seemingly when it’s been convenient for him. (Dolan, notoriously sparse with his media appearances, did not respond to requests for comment.) Ahead of the Trump rally in Dolan’s garden, we’ve compiled the evidence of his political life to see how it looks when it’s all in one place.

Like many billionaires, Dolan has donated a bunch........
