Americans Disgusted After Trump ‘Delivers’ Cold Pizza to New York Fire Department in Giant Publicity Stunt
Ugh, the Trumps sure do love their publicity stunts, don’t they!!??
Donald Trump’s critics mocked the embattled ex-president and adjudicated rapist after he allegedly delivered cold pizzas to a New York fire department as a publicity stunt during his ongoing hush money trial. On Thursday, Trump was photographed at the same FDNY building he visited back in 2021 for the 20th anniversary of the tragic September 11 attacks.
Pictures of Trump holding pizza boxes and posing with firefighters circulated on social media. “We appreciate whoever supports our members at the FDNY, no matter their political affiliation,” the department said in a statement at the time.
Trump later took to Truth Social to share, “It was an honor to see the brave men and women of the FDNY this evening!” However, in several other posts promoting the campaign stop, he mistakenly referred to them as the “NYFD.”
But people on Twitter quickly broke down the timeline to prove that Trump just delivered a bunch of cold ass pizzas.

Trump critics took to the comments section to express their disgust at the viral moment.
“Such a fake situation, everything he does and says are lies and deceit,” one user wrote, and another quipped, “Nothing new. Just like a Trump rally! Everything is old and stale.”
A third pointed out, “NOT ONLY STAGED, BUT POORLY STAGED,” and a fourth joked, “Wanna bet the FDNY gets sent the bill for those pizzas.”
And it won’t come as a surprise that Trump couldn’t even HOLD the dumb pizzas anyway:

This comes amid Trump’s New York hush money trial. He is facing 34 counts of falsifying business documents in connection with a $130,000 hush money payment made to Stormy Daniels just before the 2016 election.
Trump pleaded not guilty to all charges and has repeatedly insisted the entire case is a “scam” orchestrated by President Joe Biden.
“I’m in a fake trial, and I’m in a trial that’s a Democrat — you know, you take a look at — where did it come from? It came from Biden,” he alleged in an interview earlier this week. “It’s a Biden trial to try and keep me off the trail.”

As expected, people were disgusted with Trump’s dumb photo op:
Trump re-delivered old, stale pizza yesterday that they had to leave sitting around to wait for his photo op. Then he posts online that he delivered them to ‘NYFD.’ So they got stale pizza so Trump gets his staged moment. What a phony. https://t.co/IeEOT8Ls9i

With Trump, it's always a fake photo-op, it's not about doing something altruistic. That's not in his nature.

Zoom in on the box, it's empty.
The way he's carrying it, no way there's a large pie in that box.— Doc (@Doc31843755) May 3, 2024
Once again taking credit for something done by others and paid for by others.

He could have at least redelivered cold filet and lobster…..I’m sure the brave men and women of the FDNY, (aka NYFD 🙄) are worth more than crappy cold pizza
