And happening today, Donald Trump is set to make a
campaign stop in the traditionally deep blue S Bronx.
Yup, he's got very few votes there in the past,
but he wants to change it.
We sent out Fox and Friends Weekend Co host Rachel
Campos Duffy
out there, in fact, to talk to voters.
In fact, I even asked her to come and sit
on the couch and she responded.
It seems like she was so far away.
Names one person, names one person.
Open arms for me here,
just like open arms for Trump.
You said you like the Bronx.
I, like everyone, was so friendly.
And I'll tell you, I was expecting a lot more
like ambivalence or maybe even some negativity about Donald Trump
coming.
Because remember, the Democrats are putting out the message he's
not welcome in the South Bronx.
That's not the message I got.
Look,
Donald Trump is set to make a historic visit right
here in the South Bronx.
I decided to pop in and talk to some people
who are going to be there to see why they're
excited about the former president coming to their neighborhood.
I think that's amazing. I think it's epic.
That's the best thing ever.
Are you going to go?
Yeah. How will he be received here?
Open arms, Really open nose,
everybody going to show love.
You come show love, they're going to show you love
right back.
If I do see him,
you know, it's it's a it's a what's up and
thank you for doing what you did.
It's 5050. Honestly, people are going to have some love
and hate.
Some people do love him,
but ancestor prefer him. That's better than Joe Biden.
Was life in the Bronx better under Donald Trump or
under Joe Biden?
It was better under Donald Trump.
I can tell you that the Bronx has been through
many changes and everything was getting back on track.
And then, you know, everything is like falling apart again.
Senior citizen cannot walk in the street.
Our children have been killed.
Groceries, when you go to a grocery store and you
you can't even buy anything anymore.
Everybody needs help. People need housing.
Instead of giving migrants and everybody that's coming from other
countries help,
We here, we Americans give us some help.
You know,
they're giving all the money to the immigrants.
No, not that. It's not that.
It's not. I'm not against that.
No,
the problem is they're cutting our stuff.
What can Biden do at this point?
Nothing. Even if he did something,
the we're beyond the point in our churn when it's
everybody's on the Trump train.
I'm a Democrat.
All my life I've been a Democrat.
But Democrats have have have users
and abuse us and they think that that that they
almost
and Donald Trump is giving most of the opportunity.
Black people and Hispanic people are are very happy about
him coming coming here.
And they want to see the options and they want
to put pressure on Democrats to step their game up.
And maybe Republicans have an opportunity here.
They cannot let go. What's your advice to Trump?
My advice to Trump, just to be himself,
to be relatable, don't change,
don't switch up because they're trying to take you down
here.
You got out of the president.
You know, you was in the White House.
A lot of people wasn't.
A lot of people want your spot.
Come to the park. And,
you know, keep it real with the people.
Just let us know exactly what you're going to do
for everyone,
not just the Hispanic community,
not just the black and the minority communities,
but for America because when America succeeds,
we all succeed.
That is great. So it shows that he's got a
lot of support there.
The problem for him today is at 6:00,
it sounds like people who don't like Trump are going
to have a counter protest right next to it.
So you got people saying we love him and then
the other people saying
180. But the question is,
who are those other people?
I went down to that district.
I was on a corner,
you know, talking to random people that came up to
me.
Some of those people, we planned to meet with them.
But then I went to a a corner and
I talked to dozens of people.
Only one person who was not all with it said
she was
anti was against Trump. Everybody else said open arms,
come on in. They were honored that he's coming to
their district.
Remember, AOC said, you know,
it's a disgrace. It's a shame,
it's an embarrassment that he has to go to the
Bronx.
And I asked them about that and they said there's
no shame in coming to the Bronx.
We're honored he's coming. Come on over open arms.
So the one person who wasn't all with it,
he's a Biden supporter. Yeah,
that's right. That's right.
But I think the question will be for Lawrence,
who's going to be there tonight.
And and he's going to interview the president as well.
If he sees those counter protests,
he should go up and find out who are these
people who's funding them?
Because, because it didn't seem like they were from
anybody from that district. My my hope is they they're
far enough away because you're not going to the NYPD
is not anti Trump.
In fact, they have had it with their the people
that are running the city.
My hope is go protest.
You have your right, but people have a right to
hear the pro former president.
Keep them separate. The people I talked to were people
who are look,
they all said they look back fondly on the economic
years under Donald Trump.
They're frustrated with the crime that they see associated with
with the Alvin Bragg, with Alvin Bragg and with illegal
immigration.
They said ever since Joe Biden opened the border,
the crime has gone up in our neighborhood.
So I was really surprised.
It was crime, inflation and the border.
