‘These are my people!’: Trump’s homecoming sees 10,000 New Yorkers crowd into hangar the size of a FOOTBALL FIELD to hear the GOP front-runner’s greatest hits
- Crowd braved cold winds, distant parking, shuttle buses and a 1-mile walk to hear Donald Trump’s homecoming speech on Wednesday
- Big address marks a reboot of his campaign after stinging defeat in Wisconsin at the hands of Ted Cruz
- Long Island audience chanted ‘LYING TED! LYING TED!’
- At the first sight of a protester, they turned into New York Islanders hockey fans and sang ‘A**hole! A**hole! A**hole’ in unison as police ejected him
Donald Trump delivered a stump speech for the ages on Wednesday night, a New York homecoming that saw an estimated 10,000 people shoehorn themselves into a Cold War spacecraft testing hangar to hear their home town idol blast off.
Trump, true to form, declared the crowd was 17,000 strong.
His gold had lost some of its luster in recent weeks as he suffered a series of self-induced public relations meltdowns over comments he made on abortion and nuclear weapons, along with premature denials of facts related to pending battery accusations against his campaign manager.
Making matters worse, he took a beating Tuesday in Wisconsin at the hands of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in Wisconsin’s primary.
But Trump thundered back a day later on Long Island as he returned to his early campaign form and thrilled his single largest standing-only crowd since launching his White House bid last June.
‘It’s great to be home! We love New York!’ he cried at the top of a brief 36-minute speech in the town of Bethpage.
‘I love these people! These are my people!’
