Visitors came from across the street and across the country for presumed Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s rally at Crotona Park on May 23. As he spoke, a smaller but vocal crowd attended a nearby rally bearing the title “Trump is Not Welcome in the Bronx” — a juxtaposition that raised questions about how much ground Trump can gain in the reliably blue city.
During Trump’s speech, he told the diverse crowd that he is a better representative for Black and Latinx people.
