Trump to Join Wake Honoring Slain NYPD Officer as Biden Attends Fundraiser
Simon Kent 28 Mar 2024
Former President Donald Trump will join Thursday’s wake of a New York City police officer gunned down in the line of duty as the presumed Republican 2024 candidate makes crime in Democrat cities a focus of his third tilt at the White House.
As Trump honors the fallen, President Joe Biden will also be in New York attending a fundraiser with Democratic ex-presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.
AP reports the visitation for Officer Jonathan Diller, who was fatally shot during a traffic stop on Monday, will be held in suburban Massapequa.
Police said 31-year-old Diller was shot below his bulletproof vest while approaching an illegally parked car in Queens.

Diller, who was married and had a 1-year-old son, was rushed to a hospital where he died.
Trump has long deplored crime in heavily Democrat-run cities and wants to immunize police officers from lawsuits for potential misconduct as they tackle the problem.
Trump’s campaign did not offer more details about his appearance or whether he planned to speak.
“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,” Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.

Dear President Trump,
Please do NOT let the Protection Detail lead you through the hotel kitchen to arrive at the podium. /s

Trump calling the widow and paying off her mortgage was decent, I'll give him credit for that. I think he does love New York City, after all is said and done.

Gimme a break! His love isn't limited to just New York City.
That said, he completely out-maneuvered Tunnell to Towers Foundation on this.

A decent and touching gesture for the family of the fallen police officer

It would behoove trump to let his actions speak louder than his words. However, most times, he gets the order of those two mixed up.

Oh shut up.
@Timber Rattler @catfish1957
???
You think you're showing deference... finally give President Trump kudos for something he did? Is this supposed to show all of us how you give credit where credit is due while the rest of the time you savage him? Because that's certainly how it comes across.
You don't think T2T wouldn't have tripped over themselves paying off the widow's mortgage? They would have made a commercial about it. All non-profits have other agendas...and yes, I know that 100% of the donations are going to the families of the fallen.
President Trump doing this without fanfare, 7 months from the Election is calculated. It's also brilliant.
It's also the reason he insists on showing up in person to his court hearings instead of just sending his lawyers.
A smile and a wave to the crowd caught in a photo deflates the entire news cycle at that moment.

“While she was in his office, the Port Authority president said there was a call for her. It was Trump.
A few minutes after that she got a call from Tunnel To Towers and they are paying off her mortgage.”
Am I missing something here? The tweet leads me to believe that T2T paid off the mortgage. Trump called first. T2T called after Trump and paid the money.

Not at all. He's the master of the soundbite. There's nobody better.
His concern and love for the family and Americans is genuine...and I think you have a lot of nerve coming out and challenging me...of all people.
Nobody on this forum loves Donald Trump more than I do. NOBODY!
But I also recognize the corner in which he paints the adversarial media and Trump haters across the land by doing this.

Sounds like T2T and Barstool are donating the money. Nothing about DJT doing that. It was very kind of him to get in touch with the family.

NYPD Tells City Council to Stay Away From Slain Officer's Funeral (https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2024/03/28/nypd-tells-city-council-to-stay-away-from-slain-officers-funeral-n3785542#google_vignette)
Earlier today, Karen wrote about Donald Trump's plans to attend the funeral of NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller and mourn with his family.
Officer Diller was shot and killed by Guy Rivera, a career criminal with 21 prior arrests for assault and drug crimes. Rivera was repeatedly released through New York City's revolving door that passes for a legal system.
Attending the funeral is a natural call for Trump to make as he continues to push for enhancements to law enforcement and support for the police. There are some other notable politicians who probably won't be at the funeral however, provided they take the advice of the NYPD. The New York City Sergeants Benevolent Association has issued a warning to the City Council to stay away from the funeral if they know what's good for them.
They are blaming the people responsible for kneecapping the police for Officer Diller's death, along with so many other New Yorkers who have been injured or killed by career criminals who are never held accountable for their crimes. ...

@DCPatriot
This event has two very different components to it.......
1. The fact that DJT paid off her mortgage is an incredibly generous gesture, and deserves huge accolades.
2. but you know when he is "winging" it, he can be his own worst enemy. If he shows any political proclivity at all at this wake, it will come across as pandering and opportunistic. Don't think of this as criticism, but a strong suggestion of proper PR.

@Right_in_Virginia "Nevermind" indeed!
Exactly, my dear friend. But I will NOT "SHUT UP" and be ridiculed by somebody's virtual signaling questioning my motives for pointing out his natural political instincts on knowing the value of a soundbite.
He knows full well that when he shows up, the cameras and all eyes are focused on him. He was magnificent today.
Nobody loves President Trump more than us. We've been fighting for the man in here for 8 bleeping years.
We're NOT the ones in this forum that stated publicly that "...we might hold our noses and vote for Trump". They do!! Even those whose only retort when their TDS is exposed is "I compliment him when he does something right...but, as @sneakypete says "BLAH, BLAH, BLAH" Well BFD!
What President Trump did today was spectacular. It was sincere and from the heart because that's who the man is. A man who puts his country's welfare and safety first. The other 3 Presidents in New York City today chose to raise money to keep President Trump from being reelected.
And they the bleeping nerve to question my post because I had the temerity to point out his prowess in handling the media and his haters.

Mets honor slain NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller on Opening Day
By Social Links for Patrick Reilly
Published March 29, 2024, 6:27 p.m. ET
The New York Mets honored slain NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller with an emotional moment of silence before the team’s home opener on Friday.
Mets and Brewers players stood on the baselines awaiting the national anthem at Citi Field in Queens as the Amazin’s flashed Diller’s name and face on the jumbotron in center field to honor the fallen Finest “for his bravery and making the ultimate sacrifice to keep our city safe,” the stadium announcer said.
The touching tribute comes on the second day of Diller’s wake services in Long Island after the 31-year-old father of one was fatally shot during a traffic stop in the Far Rockaway section of Queens on Monday.
The NYPD thanked the Mets for showing their support.

Ok, he may have earned a checkmark in the good column for this one, but a true leader wouldn't pander a bible for $59.99 -- just sayin' :shrug:
If he brought comfort to the Dillers that is wonderful. I think he saw it as an opportunity to do the opposite of Biden and knew he could make the headlines.
