WATCH: Crowd In Deep Blue NYC Chants ‘Four More Years’ As Trump Visits Harlem Bodega

Former President Donald Trump was met with loud cheers and chants of “four more years” as he visited a Bodega in West Harlem on Tuesday evening.

Trump has been ordered to attend every single day of his ongoing trial in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s dubious case, which is expected to last between six and eight weeks. The former president has slammed the requirement as “election interference” as it will negatively impact his ability to campaign.

On Tuesday, Trump visited a West Harlem bodega that was the site of a notorious incident under Bragg’s tenure. In 2022, a clerk at the store was charged with murder after an ex-con jumped began the counter and started to fight with him.

The clerk, a Dominican immigrant named Jose Alba, was charged with murder after stabbing the man in self defense. Bragg opted to file charges though Alba was stabbed by the attacker, which led to the clerk being sent to Riker’s Island. Charges were ultimately dropped after intense backlash.

After court on Tuesday, Trump visited by the Sanaa Convenient Store, formerly known as the Blue Moon Convenient Store, in Harlem to meet with the store’s co-owner Maad Ahmed and small business advocate Francisco Marte, according to a report from the New York Post.

He was greeted by a large crowd of supporters who chanted “USA” and “four more years” as the president stopped to shake hands and pose for pictures.

“The whole world is watching this New York legal system. This is really election interference, at the highest level,” Trump told reporters as the crowd sang the Star Spangled Banner in the background. “It all comes out of Washington, because they are losing badly in the polls.”

The former president went on to predict that his poll numbers will rise even higher as a result of the trial, which has been largely panned by legal scholars.

Bragg used COVID-era policies to expand the statute of limitations on an administrative payment error, which is generally a misdemeanor. Bragg then upgraded the charge to a felony, citing a “conspiracy” to commit another crime. The other crime has never been specified by Bragg. He then copy/pasted the same charge 33 times, one for each administrative error, and charged the former president with 37 felonies.

If convicted in the New York case alone, Trump faces more than 100 years in prison.

“I think you’re gonna see some numbers coming out now even higher. People don’t like the persecution, they don’t like what’s going on. They don’t like these fake prosecutors, deranged Jack Smith, the group of them. And I think you’re going to see some big changes being made,” Trump told reporters on Tuesday.
