DETROIT, MICHIGAN: Donald Trump has been accused of re-delivering already-delivered pizza boxes just for a photo op.

The former president did the act while visiting Detroit for a campaign stop, as reported by OK! Magazine.

It has been reported that Trump visited a 'TrumpForce47' campaign office to meet with volunteers, who describe themselves as "the official army of volunteer neighborhood organizers working together to defeat Kamala Harris and the far-left liberal Democrats."

An X user shared a video of Trump on the platform, stating, “It’s pretty awesome that President Trump visited the ‘TrumpForce47’ team in Detroit today. Video courtesy of ‘The Brighter Michigan PAC.'”

However, the X account PatriotTakes re-shared the video, including photos of the Republican presidential nominee from the same day.



 

“Trump is redelivering pizzas again for a photo opportunity. Trump enters holding two pizza boxes. One appears opened already. You can see the already-delivered pizzas on the table behind him. He’s done this stunt before,” the account stated.

In another tweet, PatriotTakes commented, “Trump continues to demonstrate he doesn’t know how to deliver pizzas. Apparently, he thinks you are supposed to rapidly fan the pizza boxes up and down.”



 

Netizens say ‘everything is a photo op for’ Donald Trump

Soon, people began criticizing Donald Trump, with one user tweeting, “Donald Trump is so embarrassing.”



 



 

Another person commented, “What a desperate loser 🤣.”



 

A user shared, “Unauthentic bulls**t.. that’s maga for you.”



 

Another stated, “Dullard Trump’s so desperate for attention, he’s out here pretending to be a pizza delivery guy, but he can’t even get that right. Who the hell tries to pass off reheated pizza as fresh? It’s like he’s saying, 'Here, America, I’m serving up the same old cold, stale ideas—again.'"

"And look at that grin on his face, like he just reinvented the wheel or something. Nah, Dunce, you’re just a guy awkwardly holding pizza boxes for a cheap photo op, hoping no one notices the pizzas have already been served. If this is his idea of winning hearts and minds, it’s about as effective as delivering pineapple on pizza to a New Yorker,” the user added.



 

One noted, “This is pathetic but the usual for Trump.”



 

“Those boxes are empty. 100%,” another added.



 

A tweet read, “A lot cheaper to deliver them after they have already been delivered and paid for. Nothing is real. Everything is staged for effect.”

Another tweet was “Everything is a photo op for him. Everything is a publicity stunt. Everything is ‘brand recognition’. Always has been.”

Donald Trump previously gave stale pizzas to firefighters

This follows accusations from months earlier when Donald Trump was criticized for delivering cold and stale pizzas to New York firefighters.

At the time, the PatriotTakes posted, “Trump redelivered already delivered pizzas to the FDNY: 5:34 pm - 2 pizzas arrive 5:41 pm - 6 more arrive 5:54 pm - Staffer sets aside 2 pizzas 5:57 pm - Staffer walks 2 pizzas to Trump 5:58 pm - Trump accepts and redelivers them 6:01 pm - Trump inspects pizza 6:10 pm - Trump leaves cold pizza and photo op.” [sic]



 



 

Editor-in-Chief of MeidasTouch.com, Ron Filipkowski, commented, “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.”
