This is comedy gold by the way and I'm sure SNL is working on something.


Lots of jokes about Trump serving up more whoppers to the public.

Lets hope this shutdown doesn't last too long, as I have visions of Trump serving up Sloppy Joes with Twinkie's for dessert to the French visiting delegation, and taking the Italian PM down to a meeting at Chuck E. Cheese's.

Seriously? Fast food would never be a guilty pleasure for me. It's what you eat when you have been traveling for hours and the only options off the interstate are fast food. It's all equally disgusting.

That’s SOP, shutdown or no.

“The president of the United States pays for meals for himself, his family and personal guests. This includes the First Family’s private Thanksgiving meal. The First Family must also pay for their own household expenses, down to the toothpaste and the First Lady’s clothing. ”

How strange. If you want to get butthurt over hamburgers that's you're prerogative I guess.

The fact that food was served on White House china tells me all I need to know. What a disgrace we have in the oval office.

Good American food, even found in other countries. When I was in Italy people ran to the nearest McDonald's for the freshest, like home, food.
Not good enough for Trump’s D.C. hotel apparently.

This is a cute and probably well received act on the part of the WH. Take off your grumpy pants and start thinking like a normal person. POTUS isn's a King, and he doesn't have to handle everything a specific way to make it work. You'd be praising a Dem if they had a weeny roast on the South Lawn and you know it.
Serving cold fast food “looks like a lot of fun.”

Mmkay.

Of course it is...it's an outrage when you're going to change the menu and make people eat something they don't want....
