Former President Donald Trump is set to hold a campaign rally in the South Bronx on Thursday, an audacious statement of intent in a borough that hasn’t backed a Republican for the White House in 100 years.
Not since Calvin Coolidge won every Empire State county in 1920 and 1924 has a GOP candidate won the Bronx and Trump is unlikely to break that trend — having failed to reach 10% support in 2016 and barely reaching 15% four years ago.
“The park only holds a couple thousand people. So this is certainly not going to be a Wildwood. But you know what, President Trump is certainly not afraid to show up,” Trump campaign spokesperson Danielle Alvarez told The Post.
“We’ve been able to utilize the city, whether it’s a Democrat stronghold like the bodega in Harlem, you saw the support, whether it’s showing up at a Teamsters construction site one morning, the president had broad support, even in places that you traditionally consider Democrat strongholds.”
“While he is in court, we are using New York City as a backdrop,” Alvarez went on, noting that Trump often speaks to the media outside the courtroom and also does interviews from Trump Tower four times a week during proceedings.
“More than anything, it’s about creating a ready made media moment for the campaign,” one Trump ally argued. “No one is better than Donald Trump at creating a spectacle for the media to slop up.”
“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade,” added another source close to the campaign.
“President Trump is taking advantage of being stuck in New York by holding a rally that will surely highlight how Joe Biden has failed Bronx residents with inflation and the open border. The nation’s biggest outlets are headquartered in NYC.

It really doesn’t matter the crowd size. A Trump rally is an experience in patriotism.It is a unique experience shared by those attending.Once you attend one rally you can relive the memory during every Trump rally that is televised.Imagine if he could get Central Park in October.
I hope James Golden, Bo Snerdley does the warm up and introduction.
As part of a broader campaign strategy, President Trump should go hold rallies right in the heart of Philly, and Detroit and Atlanta and other such places. He’s already polling at 22-23% support among Blacks. Showing up in those places and hitting Biden hard on issues that have directly affected them...the economy, illegal immigration, crime, etc could siphon more votes away from Biden and/or force the Democrats to spend time and money shoring up areas they’ve been able to take for granted for a long time.
Makes sense. Trump is grounded in NYC, so might as well use it to campaign in NYC. This is called the law of unintended consequences.
When it comes to rallies, the difference between Trump and Biden is more people who will not be voting for Trump will show up at his rallies than Biden will have supporters showing up at Biden’s rally. They will all be at the Trump rally. That’s why I would like to see Biden holding a rally in the South Bronx at the same time Trump is banging his rally drum.
That is NOT diverse. What BS....
I hope Adams does cancel the permit- I worry about his safety AND such a move would disappoint many people who wanted to see him.
In other words I think that would be a move that benefits Trump.
If AOC was to show up at a stage and take off her top... she might draw some attention.
Bribem-Obama is bussing im union thugs as “counter-protestors”. That means FBI CRIMINAL MAZI SABOTEURS WILL ALSO BE DISPATCHED BY THE CRIMINAL NAZI THUGS WHO RUN THE DEEP STATE TO STAGE ANOTHER RIOT.
He's got a very busy day!
Wonder how many of these sanctuary state residents feel that their jobs are threatened by Brandon’s influx of illegals ?
NYC now has RCV for a reason...
float like a butterfly...
{Crotona Park is big.}

Considering that the mayor of new york is a thug, I hope security is excellent.
Marxist scum will be showing up to riot.
I am afraid for him having a rally there.
I am afraid for him having a rally there.
Oh, noes.
Well, Pres Trump obviously isn’t afraid, so, there is that.
