In an unusual occurrence, four presidents will all be in New York City Thursday, but for very different reasons.
Former President Donald Trump will be attending the wake of fallen NYPD officer Jonathan Diller, who was killed in the line of duty on Monday.
Diller, 31, was shot by a career criminal during a routine traffic stop on Monday, leaving behind a wife and a one-year-old baby.
Trump was invited to attend the wake for Diller, according to Karoline Leavitt, the National Press Secretary for the Trump campaign.
“President Trump is moved by the invitation to join NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller’s family and colleagues as they deal with his senseless and tragic death,” Leavitt said in a statement.
Meanwhile, former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton are rushing to Joe Biden’s rescue, and will be attending a major fundraiser with Biden at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
The fundraiser is expected to rake in a whopping $25 million, with over 5,000 people having reportedly paid between $250 and $250,000 to attend the event. “The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert will be playing a key role at the event as well.
In a social media post, Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt wrote, “TODAY in New York City, President Trump will be honoring the life and legacy of NYPD Officer Diller. Crooked Joe Biden will be at a fancy fundraiser with Obama and Clinton.”

Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung wrote, “President Trump will be honoring the legacy of Officer Diller and paying respects to his family, friends, and the NYPD.
“Meanwhile, the Three Stooges—Biden, Obama, and Clinton—will be at a glitzy fundraiser in the city with their elitist, out-of-touch celebrity benefactors.”

Trump paid tribute to the fallen officer in a social media post Tuesday morning. He wrote:
“Our heartfelt prayers go out to the family of highly decorated NYPD officer Jonathan Diller, whose life was taken by a murderous career criminal yesterday during a traffic stop in Queens. The “thug” in question has 21 prior arrests and just recently got out of prison – he NEVER should have been let back out on the streets.
“To Officer Diller’s family, and all of the other brave men and women of law enforcement who put your lives on the line every day, we love you, we appreciate you, and we will always stand with you!”
NYC Councilwoman Inna Vernikov, a Republican, wrote: “A Tale of Two Priorities: Both @JoeBiden and @realDonaldTrump are in NYC today. But while Clinton, Obama and Biden will be partying it up with celebrities at a fundraiser for Biden, Trump will be attending the wake of slain police officer Jonathan Dillard. That’s all.”

Watch the moving report about Officer Diller below. Reportedly, the Police Union has told NYC politicians ‘who detest cops’ they are not welcome to attend Diller’s funeral – but they formally invited Trump.

They reached out to Donald Trump and formally invited him.
They are not the same.
Biden and Democrats created this problem, they’d never show up, this… pic.twitter.com/vJKtd6Ut6J

Diller’s family gains tremendous support
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portney held a fundraiser and raised over $750,000. They are matching the donation, which means they will be giving $1.5 million to Diller’s family.
Thanks to everybody who donated. We raised 750k. With the matching of the funds that brings the total to 1.5 million that will go directly to the family. https://t.co/uta26geRjR
