Why on earth would Trump go to NY-04? I could understand it if he were holding 3-5 rallies a day like he did in 2016, but he doesn't do that anymore (probably because he doesn't have the self-control to keep his speeches remotely short). It's a waste of his time.

Sure, but why not hop over to eastern Pennsylvania instead? Like Allentown? That would get you the Philly and/or Scranton media markets, as opposed to the NYC media market which contains exactly one PA county (Pike, which cast 32K votes in 2020 and was 59-40 Trump).
Just a guess, but Trump does have a lot of property in New York. Plus, I'm willing to bet he has quite a few wealthy donors and allies there too. So perhaps the rally is more for his donors or it's more convenient because he can meet up with his wealthy donors that live nearby before and after the rally.
Yeah, I don't think there's any deeper analysis required here. He's a dummy who goes where he'll get applause and be worshipped. I'm not sure the electoral implications even occur to him and he clearly doesn't listen to his advisors (who I don't think are necessarily rocket scientists either).

Rally after fundraisers in NYC/Hamptons is the most logical reason.

Trump isn't exactly a brilliant campaign strategist.
