“FAFO” Post by White House After Maduro's Arrest

The White House posted a photo of Donald Trump on Instagram with the word “FAFO” following the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. The post is accompanied by the message “no games.” The acronym “FAFO” originates from English slang and means “Fuck Around and Find Out,” essentially “Play and you'll see,” “Cause trouble and find out,” or “Provoke fate and face the consequences.” Its use is often associated with videos where someone provokes an animal or person and is subsequently attacked. In politics, it's used to describe situations where one side takes a risk and faces a strong reaction. The post is considered a warning to those who challenge US policy.
