Last night, Donald Trump delivered a compelling address in the Bronx, sending a resonant message to Americans of every hue. Speaking to a crowd estimated at ten to twenty thousand in Crotona Park, South Bronx, Trump engaged in a poignant dialogue.
Here's the crux: the audience consisted primarily of People of Color—a striking deviation from the typical Republican gathering in an unconventional location. Listen to Donald Trump's remarks on this remarkable occurrence:
DONALD TRUMP: "It doesn’t matter whether you’re Black, Brown, White, or any color under the sun. We are all Americans, and we will unite as such."
This encapsulates the social dynamics of the crowd and sends a clear message to Joe Biden and the Democratic Party nationwide. New York Governor Kathy Hochul typifies the many Democrats out of touch with Trump's coalition—a diverse assembly of working individuals transcending traditional party lines. Hochul's remarks about Trump's Bronx gathering as a circus only underscore this disconnect.
What's causing the stir? Rampant inflation, declining real wages, and an unchecked southern border—where an estimated 10 million undocumented immigrants under the Biden administration have secured jobs, undercutting wages for hardworking Americans who faithfully fulfill their duties, pay their dues, and now face the grim reality of shattered American aspirations. Unlike Joe Biden, Donald Trump offers a forward-looking perspective. Listen to his words:
DONALD TRUMP: "We're ditching Bidenomics and embracing MAGAnomics—just like those hats. // I pledge lower taxes, controlled inflation, reduced interest rates, increasing wages, bolstered incomes, and fair trade for American labor. We'll restore energy affordability by championing the call: 'Drill, baby, drill.'"
Meanwhile, Joe Biden addressed fear, racism, Jim Crow, and victimhood in his recent speech to Morehouse College graduates in Atlanta, Georgia—a prestigious institution whose alumni typically command salaries well above the national average.
Did Biden talk about hope? No. Did he talk about opportunity? No. Did he talk about the American dream? No. He gave a typical, far-left, racialized, fearmongering, condescending statement that basically said to this historical Black men's college: "You're not going to succeed." Just pathetic! Trump is the exact opposite.
He offers hope, opportunity, a dream of what the future should look like, and, yes, MAGA -- Make America Great Again. He offers a series of serious policy changes. It is a truly optimistic and Reaganesque message. Additionally, Mr. Trump spent part of his Bronx speech talking about his career as a construction worker and real estate developer. Let's not forget, he practically rebuilt the Manhattan skyline. In his own words, take a listen:
DONALD TRUMP: "The Wolman Rink in the middle of Central Park. You know that story that had been under construction for more than ten years? // As you know, the rink was completed in just three months for far less than the $2 million project. // I built the Grand Hyatt Hotel and 42nd Street in Park Avenue and as part of that, I renovated the beautiful Grand Central Terminal. Did a really good job of that."
Trump was after all a very successful businessman with a background of accomplishment and success, and he will undoubtedly bring like-minded people into his new administration if re-elected.
The New York Post editorial page put it thus: "Our advice to Trump: Do this more! Your business background was part of what appealed to voters in 2016." Couldn't have said it better myself. It is all part of Donald Trump's amazing Bronx Tale.
