After dozens of supporters and some critics rallied at Jones Beach regarding a restaurant stalled for five years, Donald Trump briefly walked onto the site where he and entrepreneur Steve Carl want to build the embattled Trump on the Ocean.
When Donald Trump — introduced as “the person that’s going to save Long Island and save New York” — stepped up to the microphones today before a group of about 200 admiring supporters of his Nassau County Trump on the Ocean project plans, he began with an ironic story. In 2005, he reminded everyone, he was presented with the “Master Builder” award by the Long Island State Parks Department.
Wednesday’s rally held next to site where Trump wants to build was organized by a newly formed advocacy group called Alliance to Revitalize Jones Beach, which was founded by Rafe Lieber, a Plainview resident. The rally featured numerous chants of “We want jobs” and “Let Trump build.”
