President Trump capped off a long day in court in New York on Thursday by delivering pizza to members of the New York Fire Department and New York Police Department, showcasing a unique campaign moment in the heart of the Big Apple.
In footage posted by NYC political reporter Jeff Coltin, Trump swung by the FDNY firehouse on 51st Street in downtown Manhattan, where he was greeted with huge cheers and applause from the men on duty. A stack of Xeno’s pizza boxes could be seen on the table as Trump sauntered up to the firehouse with a box in his arms, wearing a full suit and a flashy gold tie.

In video footage captured by Trump Deputy Director of Communications Margo Martin, one FDNY fireman is heard telling the president, “Sir, save us please.”
At one point, Trump also says, “We’ve GOT to win!”
President Trump did not make comments to the press when he departed the FDNY firehouse, but he smiled and cheered as he returned to his motorcade, likely headed back to Trump Tower.
Just a few weeks ago, Trump broke the internet by visiting a Harlem bodega, creating another campaign magic moment when he was greeted by crowds of supporters in the bowels of blue-state New York. Onlookers there burst into singing “The Star Spangled Banner” at one point.
The president’s Harlem visit was also a candid moment captured directly after he wrapped up a busy day in court. Trump has previously taken the time to visit with union members in NYC while he has been stuck in Manhattan during the ongoing criminal trial brought by District Attorney Alvin Bragg, utilizing the legal battles as a tool to court New York voters and draw attention to the weaponized justice system.
