That's what politicians do. Every single one of them ...
Trump is a con artist. Sometimes he runs a political scam, sometimes other scams (bank fraud, tax fraud, steal from students, steal from charity ...). He isn't just "doing what politicians do" although that would be bad enough.

That's all there is to it. Trump is all about Trump.

Yet we, The United States of Idiots insist they be there anyway. So, do tell, why do you have a problem with Trump showing up at an NYPD precinct to acknowledge the contributions of officers during a historical disaster?
Actually, there is a good reason why politicians should go to areas affected by disasters and soon. It often brings the national media (especially if its the POTUS visiting) which brings attention and awareness and with that comes support to fix/repair/rebuild.. or $... which is what these areas need the most after a disaster occurs.

Yes that is the intent -- but today we have cameras on the ground almost instantly.

Most times the politicians go for the 'photo op'.

Just google it and stop being lazy.

Plenty of articles pointing out there's no proof to substantiate his claims.

Google is free by the way. They don't charge you.

Here is an excellent summary of both The Left's fear Trump will return, and the juxtaposition between Biden and Trump's respective weekends:

I grew up in the NYC area and was well aware of just how much Trump was hated by New Yorkers, and considered a fraud and a joke.

The votes cast tell the story.

in 2016, he lost to Hillary Clinton 79% to 19% in New York City.

in 2020, he lost to Joe Biden 61% to 38% in New York City.
