How do you say “proofread” in Italian?

A well-intentioned gesture to honor the 225 people killed when a Dominican Republic nightclub’s roof collapsed may have backfired on Mayor Eric Adams.

At a press conference Thursday, Hizzoner emerged wearing a white T-shirt at least two sizes too small, adorned with an American flag and a phrase Adams insisted was Spanish for “In God we trust.”

It was actually Italian.

Instead of the Spanish “en Dios confiamos,” the mayor’s shirt read “in Dio confidiamo.”

Adams noted the shoddily-fonted tee was his way of recognizing the tragic loss of life at Jet Set nightclub back on Santo Domingo on April 6.

Among the confirmed dead are several former athletes, including former World Series winner Octavio Dotel and former MLB player Tony Blanco, father of current Pittsburgh Pirates prospect Tony Blanco Jr.

“King of the clowns,” read one Redditor’s reaction to video footage of the presser. “Did he spray seltzer water in the reporters’ face[s]?”

Another person suggested “an atmosphere where no one tells King Bozo ‘no’” permeated Adams’ offices.

“There’s a really consistent Eric Adams thing where he f–ks up whatever he’s trying to do, but also what he’s trying to do is very stupid,” commented another user.

An Adams spokesperson did not respond to The Post’s requests for comment Saturday.
