On Tuesday, following his appearance in court, President Donald J. Trump made a visit to the New York City bodega of clerk Jose Alba, who was falsely accused of robbery, assault, and murder by Soros-funded D.A. Alvin Bragg for acting in self-defense.
Bragg is currently prosecuting Donald Trump for the incredibly heinous crime of participating in a non-disclosure agreement.
It was quite a sight to behold when Trump appeared at the Harlem bodega, as enthusiastic supporters lined the streets to welcome him, chanting "Four more years!" and "Trump! Trump! Trump!" and "We love Trump!"
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.

As Michael Daly of The Daily Beast noted, Trump's bodega visit "should scare the hell out of the Democrats that those who joined in included a working woman who should be a vote they can count on."
And he's right. The Biden campaign clearly hoped for an opportunity to replicate Trump's bodega visit by going to a Sheetz gas station in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The optics were, to say the least, not good.
As you can see in the video below, no one seemed to really care about his presence there. There was no large crowd, no cheers or expressions of support. Had the Secret Service not done a security sweep in advance, it's doubtful that anyone who was there would have noticed him and just figured he was a random old man who was slowly making his way to the counter like a sloth before leaving within a matter of minutes.

Of course, the difference in the crowd's reactions is only one problem for the Biden campaign. Watching the video, he's stiff, has low energy, and doesn't even seem to understand what he's doing or why. The left has tried desperately to flip the script on the age issue, accusing Trump of being sleepy, low energy, and unfit, yet, time and time again, the truth of the matter becomes plainly obvious.
Obviously, someone didn't think this through, and the contrasts between Trump's bodega visit (and the enthusiastic support he received) to Biden's lame gas station visit have quickly been made.

Democrats placed all their chips on Biden's State of the Union address being the pivotal moment that proved that Biden has the energy and stamina to run for president and gin up excitement for his campaign. Yet this visit to the Sheetz gas station shows (again) that he has no energy or stamina, and there's no excitement for him. Not even in liberal strongholds.
