Description:
Former President Donald Trump made a post-court visit Tuesday to the Manhattan bodega where clerk Jose Alba infamously stabbed an ex-con to death in self-defense two years ago — a case that drew widespread outrage after he was initially charged with murder — with the city native vowing to “straighten New York out.”<br/><br/>The Republican presidential contender stopped by the Sanaa Convenient Store, formerly known as the Blue Moon Convenient Store, in Harlem to meet with the store’s co-owner Maad Ahmed and small business advocate Francisco Marte.<br/><br/>“You should be allowed to have a gun. If you had a gun, you’d never get robbed, you’d never get robbed, that would be the end of it,” Trump told the bodega workers.<br/><br/>Ahmed told the former president that the store is still grappling with rampant crime — which appeared to shock the law-and-order politician.<br/><br/>“What do you do? Isn’t it crazy? Is it almost a way of doing business, you getting robbed?” Trump asked.<br/><br/>Ahmed agreed that criminals “would respect the store” if he kept a firearm on hand, and indicated that he would apply for one at Trump’s suggestion.<br/><br/>
