Former President Trump said the criminal trial is having a “reverse effect,” during a campaign visit Tuesday evening to an Upper Manhattan bodega, while vowing to “straighten out New York” by working with the Democrat mayor and governor if elected to another term in the White House.
Trump visited an Upper Manhattan bodega Tuesday evening after spending hours in downtown New York City courtroom for the second day of his criminal trial stemming from charges brought against him by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee pleaded not guilty to all charges brought by Bragg.
But after sitting in a courtroom for more than eight hours of jury selection, Trump made a campaign stop at Sanaa Convenience Store in Upper Manhattan Tuesday evening. Trump was met by a large crowd chanting “Trump, Trump, Trump,” “Four more years,” and “We love Trump.” The crowd was singing the National Anthem.
The store Trump visited was no ordinary bodega. It is the location made famous two years ago when clerk Jose Alba stabbed ex-convict Austin Simon to death in self-defense in a July 2022 incident. Simon had come behind the counter and attacked Alba, who then grabbed the attacker’s knife and turned it on Simon, killing him.
Bragg – the same DA who is charging Trump in the alleged “hush money” case – then charged Alba with murder and threw him in prison, but dropped the charges days later amid public outrage.
After leaving court Tuesday afternoon, Trump stopped in at the Harlem store, now known as Sanaa Convenient Store, to meet with the store’s co-owner Maad Ahmed, an immigrant from Yemen and a US citizen.
Ahmed told the New York Post, “I have never voted, because I’ve been working, but this time I will. We need Donald Trump back in the White House because he’s a strong guy.”
When Trump arrived, a large crowd was waiting for him outside, and the place went wild.
Former Rep. Lee Zeldin shared one video of the moment, and wrote, “President Trump will put New York in play this November! It is only Day 2 of this show trial, and President Trump is already breaking the internet by visiting Jose Alba’s bodega. Alba was shipped to Rikers Island by Bragg after acting in self-defense.”
President Trump will put New York in play this November!
It is only Day 2 of this show trial, and President Trump is already breaking the internet by visiting Jose Alba’s bodega.
Alba was shipped to Rikers Island by Bragg after acting in self-defense.

On one side of the store was the media, and on the other side was a large group of supporters shouting, “We love Trump! We love Trump!”

Love him or hate him, the media can’t get enough of him. Noting the irony, Trump quipped, “They want me off the campaign trail, but based on what I’m doing, I think there’s more press here!”

“The whole world is watching this New York legal system. This is really election interference…It all comes out of Washington because they are losing badly in the polls…You know what we’re going to be doing, right? We’re going to be saving America,” Trump told the throng of reporters.

One social media user, “Bad Hombre”, wrote, “I was born, grew up, went to school in Washington Heights. It’s SURREAL to see President Trump campaigning in that neighborhood. No “normal” Republican candidate would EVER think of visiting. It’s the biggest Dominican enclave in North America. We LOVE Trump! Whoever thought of this idea deserves a big raise.”
