Former President Donald Trump on Thursday will join grieving relatives and hundreds of uniformed officers at the wake for slain NYPD cop Jonathan Diller — as he continues to harp on rampant urban crime during his bid to reclaim the White House.
Trump’s presence at the Massapequa funeral home promises to shine a spotlight on Diller’s senseless death during a traffic stop in Queens on Monday, with the slain cop serving as another tragic example.
It is unclear what led to Trump’s expected attendance at the wake.
“The county executive discussed this with the president on Tuesday,” Chris Boyle, a spokesman for Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, told The Post.
But Boyle would not say if that conversation included an invitation.
