Donald Trump has been mocked on social media after incorrectly referring to the New York City Fire Department as NYFD instead of FDNY.
Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for the 2024 presidential election, delivered pizzas to a Manhattan fire department on May 2 while on the campaign trail, following an appearance in court as part of his ongoing hush-money trial.
On his social media platform, Truth Social, the former president posted images and videos of his meeting with firefighters, writing in the caption of one post, "Thank you NYFD." In another post, he wrote, "A true honor to visit the NYFD this evening in Manhattan."
Though Trump appeared to delete the posts and make new ones with the correct acronym, social media users on X, formerly Twitter, took screenshots of the original posts and mocked the former president for his mistake. The posts were also preserved by an X account that shares Trump's Truth Social posts.
Keith Olbermann, a political commentator, wrote on X: "FDNY, FNYD, NYFD, FYND, whatever... he only went there because his pants are on fire."
