The point is that it's low class and that appeals to Trump's base. As evidence by the posts from Trump-supporters in this thread, he achieved his goal.

Yes. That and Trump’s affinity for the free toy in a Happy Meal. I guess he’s actually trying to buy happiness. Silly president, Tricks are for kids...actual kids not adult kids.

Ah, but at what ultimate cost? But that's another thread. The point is, this calls out the shutdown in a really smarmy way. Sure, we don't need federal workers! We'll just hit the drive-thru!



And, while it is not the end of the world, and it may be classist, this is the White House and our President. Should we not have a certain standard? Is this who we want to be? We talk about the degradation of society, but shouldn't we include how we treat official visitors to the White House in that?



There was also an opportunity here that didn't include paper wrappers & plastic forks. I'm sure any number of caterers could have helped. I could put together a better dinner for less than he spent today.


And I am so mad at how much I want a Big Mac right now.



And those who ever got upset about Michelle Obama's garden, shut up.

The best part? Individual 1 paid for it out of his own pocket. It kind of makes sense now, doesn’t it?
An OP over food? LMAO

That American exceptionalism keeps us from adknowleding our own discusting habits, we serve crap food and we are good at it. Ive spent half my adult life watching clots get pulled out of cardiac vessels and the stats on heart disease is well known. The whole world wants to eat our crap food, KFC’s litter the globe. Yes this was the wrong food for the occasion but some of the comments on here are over the top.
Part of why our life expectancy has dropped. And obesity rates rose in Asia when it was introduced there.

I know a whole lot of people who rarely if ever eat fast food, though. It's not totally pervasive. I work in the city within walking distance of a ton or fast food, and most people are bringing their own food or lined up at the cafeteria salad bar. I can't remember the last time I ate it.

I got a kick out of "hamberders", as did BK. But on the scale of the horrific stuff trump has pulled this ranks pretty low.

The Clemson QB thought it was "awesome"


Trevor Lawrence was a big fan of Trump’s fast food feast
