Naw, but seriously though, this isn't an outrage or anything, it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Nothing demonstrates the seriousness of border security more then Trump ranting about it from behind piles of quarter pounders and Fil A a Fish on silver platters while the servants light candles in the background.

It's the most American thing I've ever witnessed.
It reminded me of the food scene in the movie Talladega Nights

An American thing would have been steaks not the grill or the Mrs. cooking something for the guys.

Serving cold hamburgers on sterling silver platters with gold candelabras is just too damn funny.

This sentiment right here is exactly why Trump chose fast food.

No one expected expensive, top quality food. There are plenty of food options that fall between McDonalds dollar menu and Michelin star restuarant.

Besides, it's the White House. It's expected that the White House is going to serve a nice meal in a nicely decorated room.

People have been so overtaken by their ideological possession that they have lost their sense of humour. Sad.
LOL when TDS sufferers decide they're gonna get mad, they're gonna get mad. No stopping it.

I think this scene from the Kingsman might be a little more on point considering the meal was being served by the villain.

The game was 2 weeks ago. It was a planned game, not some random pick up game organized at the last second by a bunch of neighborhood kids. It was known that a football team would be coming to the White House, and I'm sure the White House was even the ones who chose the date. The players didn't just show up at the White House door, they were invited.

There would have been plenty of time to call up a local restuarant and ask to pick up a large to go order. Most restaurants ask for just a few days notice on large items. Even at a place like McDonald's, you need to give them advanced notice. You can't go through a drive thru and order a 300 person meal. It takes time to prep all that.
The whole thing makes me wonder if all of the times over the years that we know Trump has been enjoying eating fast food meals...if he has...unbeknownst to us....been enjoying eating them cold ?

He's a fast food President, and his base is the fast food crowd.

Quite fitting, actually. Too bad for the Clemson Tigers, though.
