Trump’s Lemons-to-Lemonade Strategy Is Clearly Working
PJ Media ^ | 4/26/2024 | Matt Margolis

Posted on 04/27/2024 12:05:23 PM PDT by Signalman

Democrats thought they had a winning strategy in the 2024 election by attempting to get Donald Trump off the ballot in various states and taking him off the campaign trail by tying him up in bogus legal battles. The first effort failed, as it should have, and now it looks like he’s taking advantage of being confined to New York because of the bogus trial over his perfectly legal non-disclosure agreement with Stormy Daniels in a way no one expected.

Last week, following his appearance in court, President Donald J. Trump visited the Harlem bodega of clerk Jose Alba, whom Soros-funded D.A. Alvin Bragg falsely accused of robbery, assault, and murder for acting in self-defense. When Trump arrived, enthusiastic supporters lined the streets to welcome him, chanting "Four more years!" and "Trump! Trump! Trump!" and "We love Trump!"

The optics were so good for Trump that Biden's campaign responded by sending Biden to a Sheetz gas station in Pittsburgh. The contrast between the two events was so dramatic. Both candidates were in deep blue areas, yet only Trump experienced enthusiasm and large crowds.

On Thursday, Trump once again made the best of his time in New York, by visiting a lower Manhattan construction before going to court. Once again, Trump was met with enthusiastic support, with locals shouting "We love Trump!" and "USA! USA!"

Trump is now saying he thinks New York is in play in 2024.

The Left thinks they understand NY.

But Trump lived there most of his life and prospered, not just survived. He understands the actual people.

Conflicted college Marxists don’t.

Once again we see....... no one should ever, ever, ever underestimate Trump.

He looks and acts and is viewed as a president........

Makes Biden look like an also-ran.....(except Biden’s got the election steal locked up).

... polling that has shown just how unpopular the president is. Biden has dropped to a 68-year presidential low, 38.7% approval. That is nearly 10 points below where former President Jimmy Carter was at this point in his presidency...

Bush/Cheney were around 30% when they left office.

He’s also met with the PM of Japan and I think the PM of Poland. In other words, he’s acting like a president.

Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin were considered "fool's gold" for Trump in 2016. Trump won all three which clinched him the presidency.

In 2020, New York is the new "fool's gold".

The contrast between Biden at the Sheetz gas station and Trump at the bodega was dramatic.

Biden was ignored by the few people who were there,
while Trump was lionized by large crowds enthused by his presence.

In that case, none of us should bother with supporting President Trump or voting. Let's all just curl up in a fetal position and dry up.

Stay with it. The filthy Biden needs to know he’s got plenty of opposition.

That's why I predict that Judge Merchan is going to use his power to put a stop to it while he can.

My prediction is that Merchan will find that Trump violated his gag order. After Merchan reportedly had a meeting with the Secret Service and then softened his tone about jailing Trump, Merchan will order that Trump wear an ankle bracelet and restrict his movements to only go to and from Trump Tower and the courthouse, keeping him from going to pop-up rallies in New York City.

Merchan will further order that Trump must stop receiving guests like world leaders at Trump Tower (like the other day with former Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso) as if he were the real President-in-exile.

It's the only way they can have a plausible means of keeping Trump from campaigning during the trial, which was always their primary goal.

Biden has a better chance of winning Texas than Trump has of winning New York.

Yes, but they were around 50% in late April 2004. Biden is below 40% at the same point of his presidency, which was the focus of this article.

Trump wants it louder, with more power...

He’s got a mouth like an alligator.

You can’t keep someone like that down. You just have to shoot him because shy of killing him, he’ll just keep bouncing back, often bigger and stronger.

Libs are just banging their head. They can’t deal with someone like Trump. They expect someone to lay down and stick their ass in the air when they call them a racist, or find some nut job from 25 years ago that states he groped her... But they can’t deal with someone that punches them in the face like a Tyson, but simply does it with words and arguments.

When you F with Trump... in the wise words of Mike Tyson: https://www.commit.works/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/tyson.jpg

Biden is going ballistic, and will pressure Judge Merchan to put a stop to Trump’s activities.
<><>Biden desperately wants to restrict Trump’s movements
<><>will order Merchan to put Trump in an ankle bracelet
<><>no more of those infernal rallies
<><>and cut it out meeting foreign leaders.

Yeah. That comes from living in NY too.

Trump doesn't need to win NY and he most certainly won't. In 2020 Trump lost NY 61-38.

However, if he closes the gap to say 56/43 in 2024, those numbers would trickle down into a landslide victory across the country and he'd win the popular vote as well.

It's about closing this gap in blue states so that he'll win massively in the swing states.
