To the complete confusion of Democrats, Trump is spending more and more time in liberal strongholds. Since his infamous New York trial ended, Trump has held rallies and events in places most Republicans fear to tread.
And, defying expectations, Americans are coming out of the woodwork in these cities to support him.
Democrats were wetting their pants over Trump’s rally in the Bronx, which brought out a reported 25,000 people. More recently, he visited another city considered to be dominated by Democrats. While there, he shocked workers at a sandwich shop with a huge tip. And then, he made one vow.
From Daily Wire:
Former President Donald Trump left a $500 tip at a cheesesteak sandwich shop in Philadelphia on Saturday while campaigning on the idea of getting rid of federal taxes on tips if re-elected to the White House.Video posted to X by a communications aide showed Trump at Tony & Nick’s Steaks ahead of a rally at Temple University, surrounded by people and signing a receipt.
“I’m going to give you 500 bucks. You guys all split it up,” Trump said.
Someone shouted, “Great things happen in Philadelphia. Let’s go!” After a round of cheers, the crowd began chanting “Trump,” and the former president showed off the receipt.

As usual, Trump is connecting with working Americans in ways Democrats could only dream of. While the left keeps saying they support blue-collar Americans, we rarely see them do it. While Biden’s been in office, he’s been pandering to far-left loons, globalists across the planet, and big “woke” corporations.
When was the last time he helped a regular working Joe? Meanwhile, Trump wowed these workers with a $500 tip. And he promised to end taxes on tips for workers. Trump had announced this previously while campaigning in another Democrat-dominate city.
People cheered and shouted after Trump said this. One person even said, “Great things are happening in Philadelphia.” Nobody expected Trump to receive such warm receptions in blue cities. But that is what’s happening to the great chagrin of Democrats.
No one can be sure what will happen this November. But there is a chance that Trump will flip blue strongholds across the map. Not only will he hold red states and swing states, but he might also score victories in states that are expected to go for Biden. And it doesn’t look as if Biden can do anything to stop that.
It’s hard not to feel a sense of hope when I see what Trump is up to. His ability to connect with everyday Americans, even in liberal cities, shows he has a unique appeal. While Democrats claim to support the working class, it’s Trump who’s actually showing up and making a difference.
What do you think? Could this strategy of reaching out to blue cities change the game for Trump in the election? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Key Takeaways:
- Donald Trump wowed workers at a sandwich shop in Philly with a $500 tip.
- Afterward, he vowed to end taxes on tips for hourly workers.
