NEW YORK — Former President Donald Trump on Thursday headed to the tearful Long Island wake for slain NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller while President Joe Biden jetted into the city for a swanky Manhattan fundraiser.

That could amount to a split screen made in MAGA heaven as Trump seeks to take advantage of the contrast, political analysts said.

Trump made little effort to hide his hopes to use the emotional police event to reinforce his focus on crime and appeal to working-class voters as he makes makes another run at the White House.

“It’s a natural for Trump and should play well with his MAGA base, which includes the very Republican area of Massapequa where (Diller) hailed from,” said Lawrence Levy, a Hofstra University professor who studies political trends in suburbia.

Whether such a move will flip votes in favor of Trump as early voting gets underway in deep-blue New York remains to be seen.

“Biden is massively underwater to Trump on the issue of crime and … he’s trying to capitalize on that,” said Doug Heye, a Republican strategist.

A somber Trump made a brief appearance at the wake for Diller. He emerged to pay tribute to the slain cop’s widow and infant son, flanked by ashen-faced police officers standing outside in a chilly rain.

“The Diller family will never be the same,” Trump said. “Such a sad, sad event. Such a horrible thing. And it’s happening all too often.”

“We need to get back to law and order,” he added.

Political pundits say Trump could have hardly asked for better timing.
