Former President Donald Trump definitely lit things up in a way that people didn't expect with his rally in the South Bronx on Thursday. The number of people who turned out far exceeded the anticipated 3500, with long lines and people there hours in advance, even in heavy rain. Perhaps one guy captured it best at how much they appreciated the visit and maybe finally being seen. He said that while he thought presidents had come to the Bronx before, they've never come to the "hood hood" like Trump did, and that he respected that. It's a sign that Trump was reaching out, and they were grateful. Many didn't appreciate the attitude of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) who had wished the rally would be messed up by rain, tweeting "God is Good" over that possibility.

He wasn't the only one. Here's another one saying he'd been a Democrat all his life and he was 60 years old, but Trump just "has the right answers." Perhaps the most well-known Democrat there was Rev. Ruben Diaz Sr. Diaz was a state senator and he previously served on the NY City Council for the 18th District. He is also a minister and the president of the NY Hispanic Clergy Association. First, he had a response to AOC, saying she had become a "false prophet" with her prediction about the rain. Then, he said that if you took her measure of the weather, then it looked like even God wanted Trump there.
Even Trump was touched by that, I think, as the crowd broke out into a chant of "USA! USA!." READ MORE: Yikes: Hochul Insults Americans As She Tries to Attack Trump and His Rally in South Bronx |
