Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump chose Geno's over Pat's during a visit this afternoon in South Philadelphia.

In videos posted on Instagram, Trump could be seen at the order window of Geno's with his son Eric Trump and campaign manager Kellyanne Conway in the background.

More excellent judgement from Mr Trump.

He spreads such joy and hope at every campaign stop. I haven’t seen a candidate capable of doing that since Reagan

When we went to Philly, we went to Geno’s too.

I’m freaking out just thinking about it. How many times I passed that spot... now I’m so many miles away.

I’m from NY, if I want to see Irish gangsters, I’ll watch a special about the Westies :)

Actually, THEY were (from the name) located in Hell’s Kitchen and were CRAZY!!

Here’s praying Philly republicans turn out big for Trump!!

Our neighbors at the Lake who live in Center City brought us a bag of Genoa and a bag of Pats for my Birthday some years ago, Genos hands down! We also went ourselves to Jim’s...love the Deco and the lines were fun to wait in....the Wid Wiz were Wonderful!

Very cool to have that picture of Officer Faulkner. Everybody remembers his executioner who has gone on to become a leftist folk hero.

Mumia got his sentence commuted to life imprisonment a few years ago, not because there were anything in the case to merit a reduction in the death sentence, but because the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania got sick and tired of all his worshipers getting free press every time he had a hearing.

That is the front of Geno's Steak at 9th and Passyunk. Joey Vento was a great patriot and support of law enforcement. He took a lot of harassment for that sign but they never closed him down.

Trump prefers Junior’s since Lindy’s went down before he was a kid. A terrific cheesecake if you don’t count mine.

Try telling modern-day American Irish that the Irish were nuts in the 19th century. They think every immigrant was Barry Fitzgerald. And I speak as an I-A.

Although I cannot ever forgive Philadelphia for the way their residents vote I will acknowledge that they do deserve some credit for inventing one of the greatest sandwiches ever.

“In a third video, Conway can be heard telling Trump to get some Tastykakes.”

LOL.

Wow, I should have looked myself. That’s amazing. ALmost enough to make a trip to Philly ;-)

[EEGator]

I prefer Tony Luke’s...

Are you kidding? Craziest kid I ever knew was Irish, a good friend, and he was nuts way into the 1990s :)

had a hard luck life to say the least, led down the gangster path, but he’s still kicking and not on that road anymore. 48. Hanging tough.

I could tell stories but I’d be kicked off FR :)

Toughest kid i ever knew.

It’s not me! It’s soft, sentimental Irish-Americans.

My great grandmother, Mary Breslin, ran a casino in her Hell’s Kitchen apartment (read: dump) into the 1930s! My father became so proficient in card-sharking that he was put to work among the WWII army in finding out the card sharks and cheats. He was a straight arrow who hated gambling and would only teach me basic card-playing. A very decent man who I miss every. single. day.
