Does this look like 25K to you?

John Fea   |  May 25, 2024

Here is some context for this aerial photo of Trump’s rally in the Bronx this week. The linked piece suggests that we shouldn’t assume everyone in this picture is a Trump supporter.

Here is Trump court journalist David Brody on X:

Brody’s view of Christian political engagement can be summed-up in one phrase: “Stick it to the libs!” But sometimes such an approach to Christian political engagement requires ignoring what is right before one’s eyes.

Despite the small crowd, Trump’s decision to hold a rally in the South Bronx is not a bad political move. Media outlets covered the event live and it got a lot of news coverage. By all reports, Trump’s support among young Black males is growing. This rally no doubt helped him to continue to grow that constituency.
