Pete Buttigieg Subtly Trolls Trump Over His Bizarre Obsession With Pete Riding His Bike To Work

In a post on social media, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg mocked President Donald Trump for being so fixated on Buttigieg choosing to ride his bike to work.

Trump has on multiple occasions blamed Buttigieg for a host of different issues facing airports during Trump's second term, issues exacerbated by the administration's indiscriminate moves to gut federal spending by way of the advisory Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Shortly after taking office, Trump said the following about Buttigieg:

“You know, he drives to work on his bicycle with his, with his, in all fairness, with his husband on the back, which is a nice loving relationship. But he didn’t have a clue. This guy… didn’t have a clue.”

A week later in Qatar, Trump revisited the topic—this time leaving out any mention of Buttigieg’s husband and instead zeroing in on the bicycle, using it as a springboard to blame current airport issues on former President Joe Biden and Buttigieg.

He said:

“Pete Buttigieg was the head [of the Department of Transportation] and he goes bicycling to work. He takes a bicycle to work. Can you believe— he’s running the biggest air system in the world, and he takes a bicycle to work."

"What a— and they say he’s going to run for president. I don’t see it. Who knows, right? But I don’t see it.”

Although Buttigieg has not spoken to Trump about any of this—and why would he?—he issued the following shady post via his BlueSky account that includes a picture of a road in Traverse City, Michigan, where he lives:

"It’s a perfect Up North Michigan morning. Good day for a bike ride, eh?"
