Has to be noted that the White house chef and the rest of the government employees were furloughed due to Govt shutdown. Still shit.
Mh, I wonder who was behind the government shutdown...
Congress, same as always.
GOP in Congress.
The one time the Dems shut down the government it was a legalism that was quickly repaired.
GOPs get elected and then mess up the government they are suppsoed to be running.

That's by design since Reagan. They mess it up to prove it doesn't work.
Don’t suggest fixing it though. They don’t want to hear about that.
Don't get me started on Reagan.
Just don't
Unfair characterization to not point out it was a republican dominated congress in both houses at the time that did that intentionally.
Too bad the president at the time wasn't a guy who always bragged about how rich he was, a guy who had a hotel just down the street with a bunch of high-paid chefs that weren't just reheating Whopper patties.
I would imagine his chefs are not paid well, to be honest
This is a perfect example of being completely right to be critical but for the wrong reason and the real reason is way worse.
Trumps ineptitude led to the white house staff being out of work without pay which had much larger real world consequences than some ball players eating a shitty meal.
How many of those furloughed workers kids missed meals entirely because of trumps fuck up? But there was no photo op at those kitchen tables.
He still had a bajillion other options. He chose this because he has no class, no taste buds, and was probably paid by McDonald's.
That was so shitty of him. You win the ultimate athletic achievement in your sport, you get invited to the White House expecting a lavish state dinner, and the asshole in charge says, "here's your cold Big Macs. Enjoy. Oh, you don't like Big Macs? Don't worry, we also have Burger King!"
And his "defense" of that was that he bought it all himself. The guy who claims to be so rich that he's richer than the richest rich who ever riched bragged about paying a few hundred bucks for fast food when he hosted Superbowl winners. And it was cold.
the photo is a perfect example of expectation vs. reality of his whole 'presidency'-- decent food vs mountains of garbage that might have been edible when it was prepared 4-8 hours ago, but whose flavor now can't even be covered up by the 2400mg of salt in each bite. and of course he's standing back there with his stupid shit-eating grin as if he's done a huge favor for someone, which no one who ever lived could have done better
the photo is a perfect example of expectation vs. reality of his whole 'presidency'
Everyone with a brain knew his presidency would be shit. He is the worst president that has ever existed in my entire life, by several orders of magnitude. He's officially the 4th worst president in the history of the United States.
I enjoy how thrilled he looks about the selection. He's like an 8-year-old throwing a birthday party. "You guys! Look what my mom got us for lunch!!!"
I'm only surprised it wasn't all Happy Meals.
"I have a very good brain. My Uncle went to MIT. Good genes, very smart. So when I say Happy Meals are the best food you can get, you know it is! Trust me, folks. You get a little toy inside. A little plastic toy. Sometimes it's a car, folks, but sometimes, if you're a girl, it's a little dolly. A little dolly, folks. I always get the car unless it's a Disney toy. We love Lilo and Stitch, don't we, folks?"
And his "defense" of that was that he bought it all himself.
Which is just another of his lies. He was probably paid by McDonald's for this advertising.
I don't like McDonald's but this was probably the least offensive and most quintessentially American thing he ever did (other than getting shot at lol). If he was just a no taste bumpkin with a good heart it would be fine, but he ain't got no heart.
He only did it because he forced the government into a lockdown over his wall, and legally couldn't pay any of the staff's chefs
Wow even this one seemingly innocuous event is tainted
He didn't get shot. He got hit with debris from a ricochet.
But that isn't as cool to his base.
Jesus McDonalds is only edible if you eat it right after its cooked. Seeing as there isn't a drive through window in the white house I'm sure all this shit was already cold and shitty.
I mean, most hot food from anywhere is best eaten hot. This is why I can't understand takeout delivery services: you pay a ridiculously high fee to have food that is at best a bit warm brought to you a long time after you ordered it.
Imagine the stench in that room omg must have lingered for a while too
Unfair criticism, he's also gave them jazz hands. How many people can say they got to see the president so jazz hands in person???
Well ok I guess not everyone would have seen the jazz hands. They are kinda small, but it's the thought that counts.
Lol look at his goofy ass.
He's so proud of his fast food accomplishment.
Now I wonder did they send multiple gofers to multiple McDs/Wendy's or do you think they really had someone go to a single restaurant and order all at once? Because there is no way one fast food restaurant could prep and hold that many to give to a customer and have it be in edible condition, let alone long enough to take to back and set up.
How much did McDonald's pay him for this advertising?
No compenstation, he's just ordering his typical lunch
They're gonna have so many Filet-O-Fish left over. Nobody eats those unless it's a religious holiday.
what??? that my favorite thing there. extra tar tar please. I know others too. lent is just awesome because they get more affordable.
Back when I still ate there (McDonald's, not the white house lol) the fish was all I ate. I know it's pointless to debate taste, but I don't know how anyone can stomach their beef. At least not sober, which was my excuse haha
Funny thing is if he had contacted McDonald's head office, they probably would have sent them McDonald's chefs and cater the whole thing fresh just for the free press, which they got anyways
Close your eyes as I talk you through the smell... a pile of 600 cold, soggy Arby's beef cheese sandwiches mixed with the smell of sweaty bronzer and full diapers from trump and vape smoke and trump branded cologne from conservative WH interns that set it all up.
