Thousands attended former President Donald Trump’s rally in the Bronx, the Trump campaign announced on Thursday.
Trump was warmly received by the crowd as he stated, “But above all, New Yorkers have something called common sense, and we do have common sense — an old-fashioned American common sense is exactly what I intend to bring back to the White House, just like we had for four years.”
“Look, we had the greatest economy in history…It doesn’t matter whether you’re black or brown or white or whatever the hell color you are. It doesn’t matter. We are all Americans, and we’re going to pull together as Americans,” Trump said, emphasizing that President Joe Biden’s policies are adversely impacting black and Hispanic communities, especially.
He added:
Real earnings for African Americans are down 5.6 percent. African Americans are getting slaughtered. Hispanic Americans are getting slaughtered. And these millions and millions of people that are coming into our country, the biggest impact and the biggest negative impact is against our black population and our Hispanic population, who are losing their jobs, losing their housing, losing everything they can lose.
“They’re the ones that are affected most by what’s happening — not only the fact that you’ve lost the use of your schools, your parks, your hospitals,” Trump stated.
During the rally, attendees chanted slogans like, “Four more years!” “We love Trump!” and “Build the wall!”
