New York, NY – Former President Donald Trump made headlines on Thursday as he held a massive rally in the deep-blue Bronx, a town not traditionally known for its support of Republicans. Despite initial estimates of 3,500 attendees, the campaign later reported that the crowd reached a staggering 25,000 supporters at Crotona Park. The rally attracted a diverse group of individuals from various backgrounds, including Black, Hispanic, White, Asian, and Muslim supporters.
Even CNN is admitting President Trump’s rally in the Bronx was a massive success:
“Certainly a bigger crowd than I think Democrats would like to see, particularly given this is one of the bluest counties in the entire country!” ? pic.twitter.com/XScfuQmnVa

WATCH: Trump is pulling unprecedented numbers in the Bronx. Reports indicate that as many as 25k showed up to the NYC rally.
All of this because of the witch hunt against Trump, keeping him off the campaign trail.

In his passionate speech, Trump declared his commitment to turning New York City around and restoring its greatness. He expressed concerns about the city’s decline, citing rising violent crime on subways and the prevalence of homeless encampments. Furthermore, Trump criticized Joe Biden, labeling him as grossly incompetent and failing to deliver for the people of the Bronx.
“If a New Yorker can’t save this city, no one can,” Trump declared to thunderous applause, expressing confidence in his ability to bring about positive change. He reiterated his pledge to work with Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul and Democratic Mayor Eric Adams to revitalize the city and state. Trump outlined plans for renovating the subway system, cleaning up parks, and addressing the issue of homelessness and mental illness.

Even though Trump pledged to work with Hochul, she went on CNN to call his supporters clowns and his rallies made up and fake. Watch:
Gov. Kathy Hochul just called New Yorkers who support President Trump “clowns.”

While focusing on the state of the nation’s economy under the Biden regime, Trump emphasized how certain communities, particularly Black and Hispanic families, were disproportionately affected. He also touched on topics such as energy, inflation, and what he perceived as weakness on the foreign stage.
The rally in the Bronx marked a historic moment, as Trump became the first Republican presidential candidate in decades to actively campaign for the general election in New York City. With growing support among Black and Hispanic voters, his campaign believes he can make significant gains in these demographics.
Critics had planned a counter-protest, but it had little impact. Some protesters were present, but they eventually dispersed peacefully without causing significant disruption. The event concluded with late-arriving Trump fans rushing to catch a glimpse of the 45th president.
The rally occurred during a temporary pause in Trump’s criminal trial in Manhattan, with closing arguments expected to resume following the Memorial Day holiday. As attention remains focused on the trial, Trump’s visit to the heart of liberal New York City serves as a powerful reminder of his enduring impact on American politics.

A side by side graphic showing Trump’s freedom rally and the death to America rally would have been good.
Biden can only win this election by counting more ballots than registered voters everywhere, not just major Democrat hellhole cities like 2020.
The massive support for Donald Trump, is about people wanting their country back. People from all walks of life. Trump represents us against the swamp in Washington. Making America great again is what we want, and Trump is the guy that will do it!
Sounds like the Gov. is really on drugs.
Hochul is a true Democrat and Racist.Belittling her constituents as Clowns.That’s a Democrat alright
i am trying to remain lady-like with my language; but that THING for a governor sure is useless; very demeaning to her ppl. She must like it that her state has one of the most trashy cities in the U.S. What a piece of trash!
Impressive crowd. I didn’t see one facial tattoo, nose ring or flouro haired wat-am-i.
This governor is a scum—! If she is not willing to work with Trump, then he can do it on his own. THis shows she cares nothing for this city or people & only about her own sick power.
Trump is willing to work even with useless Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul and Democratic Mayor Eric Adams to revitalize the city and state. But this worthless creature – Hochul called our President a Clown. She doesn’t want to see New York healthy and happy at all.
