The Bronx is bracing for a political showdown as former President Donald Trump plans a rally in Crotona Park, sparking a wave of opposition from local Democrats and activists. The event, set for Thursday, has already ignited a firestorm of criticism from figures like Ritchie Torres (D-NY), who labeled Trump as the borough's 'greatest enemy.' The announcement of Trump's rally has not only drawn the ire of political opponents but has also mobilized a counter-demonstration, signaling a day of heightened tensions and political fervor in the heart of the Bronx.
The decision to host a rally in the Bronx, a borough known for its strong Democratic leanings, has been met with skepticism and outright hostility from local residents and politicians alike. The area, with its rich diversity and history of advocating for social justice, stands in stark contrast to the policies and rhetoric often associated with Trump's administration.

Read moreIt's inspiring to see the Bronx community come together in solidarity against Trump's divisive politics; this rally really highlights the strength and diversity of our values.

It's about time we stood up and showed that his brand of politics has no place in our borough or anywhere else for that matter.

Born and bred in the Bronx, I grew up in public housing (i.e. “the projects) right across the street from the formerly named “Trump Links,” a gilded golf course subsidized by more than $100
