Wow, serious, please someone make a comedy movie about this administration.
I’m here for SNL’s take on this.

Seriously, I thought Individual 1 was joking when, on the WH lawn, he mentioned the menu for tonight. And, he is so incredibly proud! It’s beyond words.

I can't stand McDonald's, but I do like Burger King, Arby's, and the chili at Wendy's. I would not, however, serve them to guests in my home, particularly guests I had invited as recognition for a special accomplishment.

Oh, the horror!

And just what is wrong with fast food? I bet most of us eat at one of these restaurants at least once a week or do you dine on lobster and steaks?


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.

At the White House, Janelle? Come on! You guys can’t, in good conscience, defend this.

The Tigers were invited to the White House to celebrate their championship. What Individual 1 did here is beyond tacky. He’s getting panned for it, too...deservedly so.

That is what is considered good American food? Really? I would have thought a barbecue with free range chicken and grass fed beef or buffalo with all American potato salad and coleslaw made with organically gown vegetables. A Cajun seafood jambalaya would have been cool too. For dessert maybe a tropical fruit salad and freshly made apple pie, pecan pie and key lime pie. Trump has no class.

I dine on something a bit more elegant than stuff from a drive-up window when I have invited guests to my house for a special event.

What's "wrong" with fast food is not the point.

That’d have been great. Honestly, those boys got a very bad deal. They probably got sick, too. I hope someone steps up and gives them a better celebratory meal. They deserve better than old burgers with coagulated grease and room-temperature fries. Think how long that food has been out of the McDonald’s kitchen.

How did McDonalds or lobster become my only 2 food options?

Sure, fast food is fine for an occasional lunch when out running errands or driving long distance. I would never invite people over for dinner to serve them cold fast food burgers and fries.
