This week, the “hush money” criminal trial against Donald Trump began in New York. Americans were shocked to learn that the judge—who has donated to Democrats—is demanding Trump appear in court every day, for as long as the trial continues.
Many believe this is an unveiled attempt at taking him away from the campaign trial. Most Americans believe these trials are merely about stopping Trump from winning reelection.
Trump complied with this seemingly biased judge, arriving in the city to attend the trial. After the hearing, he made a visit to a certain bodega uptown. New Yorkers were on hand to “greet” the former president. And what they did even had Trump shocked.
President Donald Trump received a hero’s welcome in New York City on Tuesday as he went uptown to Harlem to visit the bodega of Jose Alba. Alba had faced charges from New York DA Alvin Bragg after acting in self-defense to thwart a violent robbery in his corner store.

In a scene that will have Democrats fuming, numerous New Yorkers were outside a bodega Trump visited. They gave the Republican a “hero’s welcome” as he went to visit Jose Alba—another man being prosecuted by Democrat DA Alvin Bragg.
Bragg is prosecuting Alba after he acted in self-defense against a violent robbery attempt at his store. It seems New York has fallen so far that the district attorney is going after law-abiding citizens, while letting criminals to roam the streets.
Signs point to a possible upset in New York over this year’s election. It is possible Trump has a chance to flip the state, given Democrats’ ongoing failed policies and leadership. Trump has even mulled holding a rally at Madison Square Garden, to make a play for New York voters.
Could Trump actually win one of the most deeply blue states in the country? New York has suffered from incredible crime, homelessness, migrant invasion, and exploding costs of living. There is a possibility that many blue-collar voters, sick and tired of Democrats, turn to Trump.
