Donald Trump tried to tout his man of the people bona fides by bringing pizza to New York City firefighters but ended up calling them by the wrong name in multiple Truth Social posts.

Former President Donald Trump was ridiculed after mistakenly referring to the New York City Fire Department as "NYFD" instead of the correct acronym, FDNY.

Trump made the gaffe in posts on his social media platform, Truth Social, after delivering pizzas to a Manhattan fire department on May 2 as part of his campaign trail activities and in an effort to tout his "man of the people" bona fides. He also attended a court hearing in his ongoing election interference trial earlier in the day.


Trump posted images and videos of his visit to the fire department and expressed his gratitude to the firefighters. In one post, he wrote:

"Thank you NYFD!!"

Trump also referred to the FDNY as the "NYFD" in another post in which he said it was "A true honor to visit the NYFD."

After Trump was alerted to his mistake he deleted and reposted with the proper acronym.

But despite Trump's corrections, he couldn't escape eagle-eyed social media users who proceeded to mock him profusely. Because the internet is forever.


In response to Trump's visit, the FDNY in a statement to Fox News expressed appreciation for anyone who supports its members:

"We appreciate whoever supports our members at the FDNY, no matter their political affiliation."

In addition to his visit to the fire department, Trump spoke to the press outside the Manhattan courtroom where his hush-money trial is ongoing. He criticized a gag order imposed on him in the case, falsely claiming it would prevent him from testifying. Gag orders do not prevent individuals from testifying in court.

The White House Now Has Its Own News Website—And People Are Calling It Out For What It Is

Critics called out the Trump administration for running its own propaganda network after the White House publicized "White House Wire," its own news website that features news articles from conservative news outlets like the Daily Caller and Fox News.

The White House Wire (WHWIRE) primarily features positive coverage of the president and administration, with stories mainly sourced from conservative outlets and contributions from government staffers. One early headline, "100 Days Of Hoaxes: Cutting Through The Fake News," was notable but did not include a direct link to a story.

Trump Called Out Using His Own Past Tweet After He Tried To Blame The Economy On Biden

After President Donald Trump declared that former President Joe Biden is to blame for for current stock market performance—saying "this is Biden's stock market, not Trump's" in a rant on Truth Social—people quickly fact-checked him for previously taking credit for the stock market when Biden was in office.

A preliminary estimate shows the U.S. economy contracted by 0.3% in the first quarter of Trump’s second term, a sharp contrast to the 2.4% GDP growth recorded during Joe Biden’s final quarter in office.
