Speaking with thousands of attendees in his campaign rally at South Bronx on Thursday, former president Donald Trump pledged to turn around New York City ‘very quickly’ after Joe Biden left behind the people of Bronx.
Trump continues to shift the tide in deep blue states. His rally in New York was the first time since his 2016 massive campaign event in the state, where he spoke at the Times Union Center in Albany and another in Buffalo.
The former president emphasized that under President Biden’s watch, the poorest and marginalized suffered the most.
“African Americans are getting slaughtered, Hispanic Americans are getting slaughtered,” President Trump remarked.
“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.”
The crowd cheered when the presumptive Republican presidential nominee vowed to overturn Biden’s failed economic policies on ‘Day One’ and replace it with “MAGAnomics.”
“The minute Joe Biden shuffles out the door, I will rapidly rebuild the greatest economy in the history of the world,” Trump quipped.
He also pledged to advance public security and education.
“I’m here tonight to declare we are going to turn New York City around, and we are going to turn it around very, very quickly.”
“We’re going to bring safety back to our streets, we’re going to bring success back to our schools, we’re going to bring prosperity back to every neighborhood in every borough of the greatest city in our land.”
Trump also pledged to reduce taxes and invite businesses and “big taxpayers” back to New York.
“We are going to make New York bigger, better, and more beautiful than ever before, and that includes right here in the Bronx,” he declared.
The former president also told the crowd that the White House will fund the reconstruction of New York.
He also praised New Yorkers for building the city, which he best described as “the towering forests of iron, aluminum, concrete, and steel.”
Trump praised New York for what it once was, a “capital of global commerce.”
“We turned our hometown into the bustling center of a confident glamorous American culture, and we inspired the entire world, we inspired the world,” he said.
“But sadly, this is now a city in decline.”
Trump also cites the homelessness and drug crisis that have plagued Democrat-led cities. He highlighted how illegals were permitted to commit crimes and disrespect police authorities.
He said, “mobs of migrants fighting our police officers and giving America the middle finger.”
“Throughout my life, I’ve seen New York through good times and bad times, through boom times and crime waves, through market crashes and terrorist attacks, but I’ve never seen it quite like this.”
