NEW YORK.- Former President Donald Trump held a third campaign event in New York City, but this time he arrived with pizzas at the fire stationon 53rd Street, near Third Avenue.
The Republican had visited the Engine Co. headquarters. 8, Ladder Co. 2, of the Fire Department (FDNY) in Midtown in 2021 on the anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attack.
This time, around 5:15 pm the former president left the court in Lower Manhattan, but before that his team delivered eight pizzas and reached two others.
In the middle of an intense security apparatus, coordinated by the NYPD and the Secret Service, the former president arrived without making statements to the press and greeted the firefighters, who were excited and took pictures with him.
An FDNY official did not give a message to the media at the event this newspaper attended, but in a statement spokesman Jim Long said he remembered that Trump had visited that station.
“We appreciate anyone who supports our members in the FDNY, regardless of their political affiliation,” the statement said.
Long said other leaders have visited the station and people running for other political positions.
At the event there was no official support from the FDNY to the campaign of former President Trump, who is the virtual candidate of the Republican Party, as he has already contributed the corresponding votes to his party, although his confirmation is pending at the National Convention. in July.

On April 17, the former president visited the Sanaa winery, which had suffered from robberies and regular attacks in Upper Manhattan.
In 2022, Dominican José Alba was arrested and charged with murder, after stabbing an attacker to death in self-defense. During his visit, Trump suggested that winemakers be armed.
On April 25, Trump met with construction workers at a real estate development at 48th Street and Park Avenue, where he said he had the workers’ support.
Campaign restrictions?
Trump accuses him of having limits on his campaign during the trial in New York City.
However, almost from the beginning of the trial, the former president’s campaign began to organize events like those mentioned, to reach certain communities, even in his event with builders he pointed out that he had a chance to win New York in the November election. .
In addition to this, the trial led by Judge Juan Merchan does not take place on Wednesdays or weekends, so Trump has time to hold events, as will happen at Mar- a-Lago on Saturday and then hold another event in Ohio on the 15th. of May.
Other Trump stops in New York have included Asian neighborhoods, such as Chinatown and Flushing, in Queens, as well as Orthodox Jewish communities.
The group and the security team in the city maintain an almost secret control over the stops of the former president, who have banned the entry of groups that do not support him, but who makes sure that there are people who are loyal to him.
