Fox News Medical Contributor Compares Trump’s Bronx Rally to U.S. Troops On D-Day

Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel compared the rally former President Donald Trump held in the south Bronx to U.S. troops storming the beaches on Normandy during D-Day.

On Thursday, the former president held a rally in the Bronx, a deep blue urban center, where he railed against crime, the economy, and President Joe Biden. Republicans have used the rally to claim that Trump is making inroads with Biden’s base urban support.

Despite the Trump’s campaign claim that his rally had 25,000 attendees, aerial footage of the rally showed that the actual crowd size was far smaller.

However, during a Friday airing on Outnumbered, Siegel claimed that Trump is a “streetfighter” and that his rally represents the “American spirit” as an underdog, while comparing the event to soldiers on D-Day.

Donald Trump is from Queens. And when I was in the White House with him in 2020, we talked about both of us being street fighters. This is him being a street fighter. This is him going as the underdog. I think this plays to the American spirit, not to the issue of politics here, to the American spirit with it, where America has always been a country where we come from behind, where we go against the odds. D-Day is coming up June 6th. Eighty years from the time when we landed on the beaches in Normandy, overwhelming odds against the United States, we took back France. Here Trump is saying, I don’t care whether I’m ahead or behind in New York. I’m for America here. And that’s what he’s trying to do.
