Staff Reporter NEW YORK (TIP): Donald Trump comes to New York as President on May 4. It will be his first visit to New York since moving into the White House.

The White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer disclosed that the president will visit the U.S.S. Intrepid, the decommissioned aircraft carrier on the West Side of Manhattan, where he will meet with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull of Australia to commemorate the 75th anniversary of a naval battle the countries fought alongside one another during World War II.

Aboard the Intrepid, Mr. Trump will be meeting Mr. Turnbull in person for the first time since a terse phone call in February between the two leaders ended abruptly over Mr. Trump’s unwillingness to abide by an agreement to accept 1,250 refugees being held in an Australian detention center. The event will commemorate the 75th anniversary of Battle of the Coral Sea, in which the United States and Australia fought Japan. Vice President Mike Pence met with Mr. Turnbull in Sydney last week.

Mr. Trump has a long relationship with the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum. He has donated to the museum, and landed his helicopter on the flight deck during an episode of his reality television show, “The Apprentice,” said Bill White, a former president of the museum. “I’m very happy to hear he’s visiting and bringing awareness to the Intrepid yet again,” Mr. White, who is a major Democratic Party fund-raiser, said in an email. “There’s no bigger honor than having the president of the United States come to visit.”

Meanwhile,”the city, where protests against Trump policies have erupted in parks, airports, schools, churches, synagogues, mosques, museums, restaurants and streets, to name just a few locations, is girding for what, in the inflamed atmosphere, may be a battle of its own”, said the New York Times.

At 5:56 p.m. on Tuesday, April 25, organizers for the Working Families Party got word of the visit via Twitter. By 6:02 they had agreed to hold a protest the day he returns, said Nelini Stamp, the party’s national membership director. In less than 24 hours since the event was posted on the group’s Facebook page and with protest plans still being figured out, more than 2,000 people had expressed interest in going.

“We want to make it as difficult as possible for him to be able to just walk onto the Intrepid and give this speech,” Ms. Stamp said.

“We want to make sure he knows he can’t just come back again,” she added. “It’s not a homecoming.”

“The mayor embraces this as an opportunity to remind the president that New York is the greatest city in the world because of, not in spite of, our diversity and inclusiveness,” said Eric Phillips, a mayoral spokesman. The New York City Police Department, he said, “is plenty prepared to handle the president’s security and the expected outpouring of New Yorkers who look forward to greeting him.”

The New York Police Department has estimated that it will cost $308,000 a day to protect the president when he is in town. “We recognize that this will be the president’s first official visit to New York City since taking office,” Stephen P. Davis, the chief spokesman for the police, said in an email, “and the N.Y.P.D. will assign the resources necessary for the security of this event.”

It is unclear if Mr. Trump will stay at his penthouse triplex in Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue, where his wife, Melania, and son Barron live. He may instead choose to stay at his country house in New Jersey, on the grounds of the Trump National Golf Course in Bedminster, about an hour’s drive from New York in the middle of horse country. The 1939 red brick Georgian Revival mansion has been referred to as Mr. Trump’s Camp David North. He met there with candidates for his cabinet during his time as president-elect.
