The Bronx rally with ex-President\u200b Donald Trump \u2062drew a varied\u2063 audience\u200c expressing worries about Biden&#8217;s policies. Concerns \u200bincluded \u2064rising living expenses, border crisis\u2064 effects, and the\u2062 call for Trump&#8217;s comeback to tackle these\u2062 critical issues. The gathering reflected a\u200d rising dissatisfaction\u200b and\u200d a longing for change among New Yorkers.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-content\">\n<p>BRONX, N.Y. \u2014 Former President Donald Trump on Thursday became the first Republican presidential candidate to <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/GOP\/status\/1793428399400309016\">visit<\/a> the South Bronx since Ronald Reagan did it in 1980. Trump has been severely limited in where he can campaign after Democrats weaponized the justice system against him and tied him down to a Manhattan courtroom, in what experts on both sides of the aisle have dubbed a \u201cdubious\u201d case.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the Crotona Park rally was an opportunity for \u201cMr. New York\u201d to speak to voters who told The Federalist that they have been suffering under President Joe Biden for four years. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2-long d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-1533794430\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1379703300879-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-d87d7f327f338a7c317d9dc3d76e5f5b fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-d87d7f327f338a7c317d9dc3d76e5f5b\"><\/div>\n<p>Thursday morning began with a torrential downpour that I expected would dissuade New Yorkers from attending the rally. But by mid-afternoon, thousands of Trump supporters were standing shoulder-to-shoulder in the brutal humidity and direct sun in hopes of getting a glimpse of the former president. Not everyone made it into the rally area by the time Trump took the stage, as security seemed to move unreasonably slowly despite hours of check-in time. Still, the crowd buzzed with patriotic energy on the eve of a Memorial Day weekend.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Democrats \u2018Think We\u2019re Little Children\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Standing near the entrance of Crotona Park was an attendee named Sean, a first-time voter enthusiastically selling T-shirts that read \u201cTrump Policies or Die.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m tired of the looting of the pharmacies, especially because I\u2019m a diabetic.

They think we\u2019re little children and that\u2019s how they talk to us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut when you look at Republican values, black people are conservative, we\u2019re not liberal,\u201d Sean said, adding that when he first immigrated to the states, he was told by black people that he had to vote Democrat because they were the lesser of two evils.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-a50fbaecbaf5f522197928eb34a04d40 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-10\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-a50fbaecbaf5f522197928eb34a04d40\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cBut it\u2019s a con game!

I was making ends meet under Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s not just Savoca\u2019s clients struggling with the price of food. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have a mom who is very sick, she has dementia and so I\u2019m her caregiver, and when I go to the grocery market to make sure her needs are taken care of, that she\u2019s getting the nutrition she needs, it practically leaves nothing for me and my husband because we\u2019re on a tight budget,\u201d the mother of three told The Federalist.  <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption>\n<div class=\"row no-gutters body-xs m-0 text-start\">\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-4\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-8\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span>Brianna Lyman       <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And things are only exacerbated by the influx of illegal migrants into her community, she told The Federalist. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne man walked into my store, so hungry and begging for money for food, so I helped him out, but I think Biden made a bad decision opening the borders the way he did because now we\u2019re paying for these people.

I never took anything. How come all these illegals get tons of money, they get tons of benefits, they get to live in good places, and we didnt get that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t open the d-mn border for migrants.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption>\n<div class=\"row no-gutters body-xs m-0 text-start\">\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-4\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-8\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span>Brianna Lyman       <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Dilhara also shared how she and her family have struggled keeping up with rising prices.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m making money and I can\u2019t even save a penny. I have to live paycheck to paycheck,\u201d Dilhara said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe made money under Trump, we were able to put money into our 401k. I have to wait for my next paycheck now. It\u2019s horrendous what we go through. You go to the supermarket, I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve been this month because it\u2019s so bad, the food items are so expensive. My heart goes out [to those] who have little children and they have to juggle these food bills.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need Trump to come fix this,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2018A Gallon Of Milk Costs $6\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Twenty-three-year-old Steven Ducasse was the youngest supporter I spoke with \u2014 though certainly not the youngest there. Ducasse, who lives in the South Bronx and works as a 911 operator, says while it was his first rally, he voted for Trump in the past and considers himself a lifelong Republican, in part because Trump\u2019s \u201cpolitical and moral views align\u201d with his.<\/p>\n<p>And some of those political views include policies that drive down costs, because as Ducasse said, the economy is a top concern.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m most concerned that my community\u2019s average median income is about $40,000 and a gallon of milk costs $6.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe rent is too high, the bills are too high and on top of that \u2014 you have to pay for groceries. We need to make things more affordable,\u201d Ducasse said. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption>\n<div class=\"row no-gutters body-xs m-0 text-start\">\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-4\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-8\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span>Brianna Lyman       <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>But, like other rally goers, Ducasse also expressed concern about the growing illegal migrant crisis. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI run in Randall\u2019s Island. If you know it, you love it. If you haven\u2019t been, well \u2014 the migrant crisis there is horrible,\u201d Ducasse said. \u201cI had to change my route now, nothing against migrants but I think generally it\u2019s a bit safer when you don\u2019t have a breach of migrants into NYC.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s not just their illegal presence that affects Ducasse \u2014 it\u2019s the drain on taxpayer resources.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe unpaid tax dollars, the hotels that had vacancies but now don\u2019t because migrants have been housed there, bunch of schools being occupied by migrants, you have to pick up the baggage,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd as a citizen of New York, I don\u2019t want to pick up that baggage, we don\u2019t have the money for that.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2018Biden Is Making It Harder To Survive\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Danny M., donning a shirt that read \u201cTraitor Joe\u2019s,\u201d lamented how Biden\u2019s policies have made it \u201charder to survive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s gotten much worse under Biden,\u201d Danny, a New York City resident, said shaking his head. \u201cEvery time I go to the grocery store, the bill is insane. My credit card is going up, under Trump we had tax breaks. Biden is making it harder to survive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Danny, who has a young daughter and another on the way, said the economy is his top issue, followed by the border. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption>\n<div class=\"row no-gutters body-xs m-0 text-start\">\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-4\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-8\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span>Brianna Lyman       <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI see the migrant crisis every day.

It\u2019s not safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bill Deegan, wearing a shirt plastered with Trump\u2019s mugshot, nodded along, adding he\u2019s also concerned about the lack of law and order.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want law and order, but law and order doesn\u2019t mean anything anymore in the courts because they\u2019re using it against Trump,\u201d Deegan said. \u201cThey just want him out because they can\u2019t beat him at the polls. The only way to get Trump out is to get him in jail.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trump \u2018Is New York\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Steve Merczynski told The Federalist he felt he had \u201can obligation to be here as a New Yorker.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrump has done so much for New York City, not just from when he saved the skating rink, but he raised the stature of New York City, he made it respectable from when it was near bankruptcy,\u201d Merczynski said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is New York.

But our No. 1 ally, Israel, Democrats turned their back on \u2026 to have a few Arab votes in Michigan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s not just Arab voters in Michigan that Biden is catering to.
