NEW YORK – Former President Donald Trump has broken political norms by visiting one of the most deep-blue areas in New York City, a town not necessarily known for its kindness to Republicans.
Trump rallied a crowd of what his campaign estimated to be 25,000 supporters at Crotona Park in the Bronx on Thursday, far more than the initial 3,500 it said were expected to attend. Those numbers appeared to also include those lined up outside the event – who waited hours for a shot at getting inside even after the event began.
"I'm here tonight to declare we are going to turn New York City around, and we are going to turn it around very, very quickly," Trump said after taking the stage, vowing to bring back safety and better schools to the city. "We are going to make New York bigger, better and greater than ever before."
Trump praised the history of New York, but lamented that it was "now a city in decline."
"I've never seen it quite like this," he said, noting the violent crime taking place on subways and homeless encampments across the city.
Trump went on to rail against President Biden, saying he wasn't "getting the job done" for the people of the Bronx, and that he was "grossly incompetent."
"If a New Yorker can't save this city, no one can," Trump declared to loud cheers. "Who said we're not going to win New York?"

That’s more likely.
I doubt there were 25,000 people there. Such a silly thing to exaggerate; I don’t get it.
So about five thousand more people than what MSG holds?
Come on!
You have to admire the way Trump turns things to his advantage.
Read this, then buzz completely off. And, take your lil gnat pals with you.
Two sources. Now, go away.
Probably not, but if he gets a surprisingly high vote, it will give many something to think about. I'm betting there are more Democrat plantation blacks going to vote for Trump. "It's the Economy, Stupid" Plus, they can see the damage Biteme is causing on all issues.
It's going to be a landslide for Trump, and no matter how the Demo/socialists try to cheat this time they'll still lose. Unreported is that many States have changed their election laws, even without any Court decisions. Plus, you can only play the broken water pipe so 5 swing States can shut down just once. There WILL be more Republican poll watchers this time.
Every aspect of this General Election is going to be under a microscope. Believe it.
The Fox piece said that the Trump campaign CLAIMED 25,000, but law enforcement put the figure at 8-10 thousand. Does this look like 25,000 to you?

Interesting
I don’t know what happened to that. Here’s a cached copy of the video, an overhead shot of the crowd is at the 1:05 mark.

There wasn’t 25,000 people there and it’s silly to say that, is what I’m saying.
Yeah ... we’ll take n00b WarANDPieceofBiden’s word over Fox News, RSBN, Trump campaign, etc.
🤣
🙃
Well I lived down the street for years. Again, it’s just a dumb thing to lie about.
Yeah, sure you did.
Like I said, n00b....take it up with Fox News, RSBN, Trump Campaign and other outlets who’ve posted this.
Do YOU think I there were 25,000 people there?
No, I don’t think you were there with 25,000 Trump supporters.
Speak Engrish.
We are done.
Go crawl back under your bridge.
You said you were there. Do you think 25,000 people were there? It’s a simple question.
You have totally lost it.
I NEVER said I was there.
Now, put the pipe (or, whatever) down and step away from the computer. Take a break.
And, buzz off, n00b troll.
I thought you said you were there yesterday, but okay then. Why so angry?
