Trump to hold first NY rally since 2016, weeks after massive Jersey Shore gathering

Former President Donald Trump will hold a campaign rally in the South Bronx next week, and his first major gathering of supporters in his native state since his first White House bid comes on the heels of a record-breaking event at the Jersey Shore.

The May 23 rally will take place at 6 p.m. in Crotona Park, and the Trump campaign has a permit for up to 3,500 people to attend, his campaign announced Friday.

Trump, 77, is expected to speak on the Empire State’s economy, crime rate and migrant crisis. It’s his first rally in his birth state since Buffalo in 2016.

“New Yorkers have suffered greatly thanks to Biden’s failed policies,” Team Trump said in the announcement.

“The Empire State, a place near to President Trump’s heart, has been decimated by Biden,” it continued.

“President Trump will ease the financial pressures placed on households and re-establish law and order in New York!”

The Trump campaign highlighted double-digit percentage point increases in murder and assault rates in New York since 2019, and a surge in the cost of goods in the state since Biden, 81, took office.

“We can Make America Great Again by tackling lawlessness head-on, ceasing the endless flow of illegal immigrants across our southern border, and reversing the detrimental effects of inflation by restoring people’s wealth,” the statement concluded.

Trump, a native New Yorker who officially moved to his Florida Mar-a-Lago resort in 2019, has frequently been in Manhattan of late as he stands trial over alleged hush-money payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels.

They’ve given him a permit for only 3,500 people. That’s okay. It just means that there will be 50,000 backed up into the streets trying to get in. How will the press hide that?

Here is a Google Maps link to the park: Crotona Park

My guess is that he'll hold the rally at the soccer field because there is a nice grassy area behind it where he can land a helicopter. I wouldn't trust a motorcade on those roads in the dark.

The question is how safe will Trump be in the open in the Bronx during the trial if the Deep State wants to take him out?

Weeks later? 12 days isn’t even two weeks later.

As long as the illegal aliens are here they might want to try their hand at journalism
because the native scribblers can barely cut it.

Thanks for the link. It seems like the park can handle more than just 3,500 people. Being that it’s an open, public space, it seems unlikely that authorities will be able to stop a larger crowd from showing up.

Not a lot of tall buildings, but I’d be careful of the “grassey knoll” affect. I don’t trust the Rats!

Crotona Park area will be a massive tangle of people and traffic for blocks. My guess over 50k minimum will try to attend.
