Before his rally in Philadelphia, former President Donald Trump visited Tony and Nick’s Steaks, where he received a warm welcome from supporters, including a young fan dressed up as Trump himself. The boy, clad in a navy-blue suit, red tie, and a blonde Trump wig, was visibly moved to tears when Trump greeted him.
In a heartwarming gesture, Trump ensured the young supporter received a free sandwich and signed a $20 bill for him. “Let’s add some value to this,” Trump joked as he signed the bill, showing his typical flair for engagement with his supporters.
The interaction was captured in a heartwarming video that circulated online, showing Trump’s personal touch and connection with his fans. Trump humorously remarked to the crowd, “I like that kid! So, if your parents don’t want you, I’ll take you,” which sparked laughter among the attendees and left the boy beaming with joy.
Despite Philadelphia being known as a stronghold for Democrats, Trump took the opportunity to connect with his supporters there, much like he has done in other traditionally Democratic areas such as the Bronx, Detroit, and the Jersey Shore in recent weeks.
In addition to interacting with the young fan, Trump also demonstrated his generosity by leaving a $500 tip for the employees of Tony and Nick’s Steaks. During the visit, he highlighted his proposal to make tips tax-free for restaurant workers, emphasizing his support for the service industry.
