Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
So, spouting racism and insulting a U.S. territory that is mostly made up of brown-skinned people is "humor"?
I agree choosing that comedian was a poor choice but as you can tell that he was immediately shot down and Trump quickly stated that Hinchcliffe does not reflect his views.
Trump camp responds to backlash over comedian's Puerto Rico joke at rally
A joke about Puerto Rico made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe during a Sunday Trump rally "does not reflect" the views of former President Donald Trump, a Trump campaign spokesperson said.
Needless to say I'm pretty sure he wont be invited back anytime soon.

He was reading a teleprompter with the jokes prechosen. The Trump campaign approved the message in advance.

I dunno. Most comedians I'm aware of are practiced and don't require teleprompters.

This is a political rally. Why is a comedian doing an act?

Good question.

Because Trump is not a politician and this is a carnival and the comedians are just a sideshow to warm up the crowd.
Wrong. Try reading the articles you post.
The "Trump campaign" made a statement. Trump has not said anything yet.
A "Trump advisor" said the joke does not represent Trump's views. But based on comments that Trump has made in the past we know that the joke does in fact represent Trump's views very well.

Or even better, there could be a MAGA party.

I did not even notice that. That sounds almost as if the party is trying to commit suicide.
EDIT: It appears that you are right. There was a joke that was repressed by the people running this. They knew what he was going to say:
Tony Hinchcliffe's ONE joke MAGA fans didn't hear at MSG rally
Tony Hinchcliffe's wild set at Donald Trump's Madison Square Garden rally was almost even more controversial before a request to leave out a joke from Team Trump.

I normally vote Libertarian (Chase Oliver),
but to stop Trump I'll vote for Harris.
No, Trump's view is that the USA is a "garbage can". So pretty much the same as a "floating island of trash".
It's too late for Trump to backpedal on their hateful rhetoric.
MAGA means hate. MAGA means division. MAGA means us versus them. And some want this guy to be the president of the United States of America?
He had a record of bigoted insults.
He was chosen with this record.
Now they seem to believe it's a poor choice,
but only because it back-fired on them.

It is even worse than that as @tytlyf said, his script was on a teleprompter. The article I linked even said that there was one joke that went too far and was rejected.

I read his back history and definitely he's a real head scratcher.
If you read Trump back history you would see a lot of commonalities. Both bigots who think it is funny to say racist things.

Because the whole thing was a (bad) joke in the first place.
