Former President Donald Trump’s scheduled appearance at a kosher deli in Brooklyn Thursday was canceled after the owner died of a heart attack at age 75.

The funeral will be held at 172 Ross St. in Brooklyn at 2 p.m.
Trump, 78, stopped by PubKey a Bitcoin bar in New York City before holding a campaign rally at Nassau Coliseum on Long Island.
