Donald Trump on Thursday made a campaign stop at a barbershop in The Bronx. Some of the Trump-Vance campaign’s visits to businesses have been plagued by weak advance work, especially when J.D. Vance showed up at a donut shop and no one seemed to know he was coming.
Trump’s barbershop visit, however, was different: It appeared that not only was the staff wearing shirts that said “Make Barbers Great Again,” but it was noticed that there didn’t appear to be any hair clippings on the floor, indicating that no one had gotten a haircut there recently.
All these fools got their barber capes on like they’re in the middle of a cut and look how spotless the floor is 🤣 pic.twitter.com/1Lx24r2yoA

The barbershop has been called Javiel’s Barbershop and the King of Knockouts barbershop, in different accounts; both are listed at the same address in the Bronx. Trump did not get a haircut on his visit to the shop.

Trump was in New York to attend the Al Smith Dinner, where he will speak; Kamala Harris turned down her invitation to the same event.
There were some pretty angry clashes outside the shop, before Trump’s arrival.

I’m on the Citizens App and watching the videos of the streets being blocked off in the Bronx due to a Trump barbershop visit and the lady filming says “I’m wondering if they gonna charge him for his weave or are they gonna just brush it???” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/zP5qclZuXD

Before the appearance, a man on a bike was able to breach Trump’s security perimeter, shouting “Free Palestine” and attempting to light a white rag on fire. However, the man was arrested and taken away, and the incident took place 90 minutes before Trump arrived at the barbershop.
Trump, of course, grew up in New York and lived there for most of his life, although he switched his primary residence to Florida during his presidency.
