Culinary critics slammed President Biden after an unappetizing “Detroit-style” pizza was served on Air Force One on Thursday as Biden returned from a campaign trip to Michigan.
“Air Force One dinner tonight after Michigan trip: Detroit-style pizza,” Bloomberg White House reporter Josh Wingrove posted on X following Biden’s swing-state appearance with auto union workers.
But the president’s version of the Motor City specialty, the rectangular pizza has almost no mozzarella cheese or ketchup — and Wingrove just nibbled on the edge before snapping a photo of the display.
“Joe Biden’s mom tried to lose Michigan on purpose,” user X @umichvoter posted in response.
“Sesame seeds?” some questioned, referring to the charred crust.
Another homeless person was called it’s “Vesuvius-style pizza,” a reference to the Italian volcano that destroyed the ancient Roman city of Pompeii.

Still others called the show “embarrassing” and said the chef’s gut-wrenching creation needs to be reworked just like the president’s failed legislative package from his first year in office: “Build Back Better Pizza!”
The ill-fated dinner was served after Biden, 81, touted his re-election endorsement by the United Auto Workers in Warren, Mich., about 15 miles north of Detroit.
A Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll released Wednesday showed the Democratic incumbent trailing GOP front-runner and former President Donald Trump by five points in Michigan, where the Republican lost in 2020 but won in 2016.

Trump, 77, also holds single-digit leads over Biden in Arizona (47%-44%), Georgia (49%-41%), Nevada (48%-40%), Pennsylvania (48%-45%) and Wisconsin (49%-44%) — all states Biden won four years ago.
The Great Lakes State will be key to Biden’s victory, but his campaign has faced opposition from Michigan’s large Arab American population, many of whom oppose his administration’s support for Israel in its war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

The “Abandon Biden” campaign also held a December event in Dearborn, Mich., calling on American Muslims not to vote for the president in the general election.
The Israel Defense Forces have killed about 9,000 Hamas terrorists – about a third of its fighting force, according to US intelligence estimates.
IDF officials say about two civilians have been killed for every Hamas fighter in the densely populated region, with the former often used as “human shields” by the terror group.

Hamas terrorists killed more than 1,200 people during their attack on October 7 in southern Israel.
Another 240 victims were abducted and taken back to Gaza, where at least 130 remain in captivity.
Biden’s schedule in Michigan is being kept secret by the White House, but press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre declined to say whether the decision was made to avoid confrontation with the state’s Arab American population.

“The president has met with Americans with varying opinions on the conflict between Israel and Hamas,” Jean-Pierre said Thursday, adding that Biden “is in regular contact with Muslim and Arab American leaders in Michigan across the country.”
Biden administration officials will also visit the state later this month to “hear directly from community leaders about a variety of issues that are important to them and their families, including the Israeli and Gaza conflicts,” he told reporters.
