Well, Trump May or may not be a snob, but this post here shows me who is a snob

I notice you had no comment on the content though, why is that? 2 football championship teams from the south visit the WH, with 2 different experiences with 2 different Presidents.

Strahan would be better served if he tried to fix that big gap between his front teeth and get a speech pathologist to help him with that terrible lisp. I can hardly understand him.

Have any idiots jumped in here to call Trump “Individual 1” yet? I’ve been away, just checking.

One of the good things about Trump is that he's not a snob.
You think Individual 1 is not a snob?? He is absolutely the snobbiest of snobs. What might be confusing you is that he’s complete trash, too.

Trump could invent a cure for cancer, and you Libs would complain, and still hate him. Jeez.

Since Trump has been quiet on the NFL front this season, we shall see if the next Super Bowl winner will have a decent showing if invited. Last years Eagles, when all said and done by an anonymous paper ballet, only had "two players" who voted to visit the White House.
Nah. Doubt it, they probably haven’t even had fast food like that since the summer. That stuff is trash, no self respecting trainer wants their client putting that into their body. Clemson recruits heavily in the area I grew up in, I know more than a few guys who played for them, and it’s for sure big business up there when it comes to football. Clemson has executive chefs and a full culinary staff that cooks just for the athletes. And this was back in the Bowden era, I’m sure they have NFL level facilities now in the Dabo era. The training staff probably had a fit when they saw the spread Trump laid out, aside from some pizza on a late Sat night or some CFA nuggets once a week, they probably eat better as 18-21 year old D1 football players than most of us do as adults. The food was probably cold by the time it all got laid out, and it’s not like Trumps Hotel isn’t right down the street from the WH, he could’ve easily had his steakhouse whip up something for the team probably faster than it took his staff to amass food from 3-4 different places.

*Shrugs*...actually don’t really care about him or politics as a whole one way or another. I do think he’s a fool, but my personal credo is to not give energy to such things, I just worry about and do me. I was simply sharing my personal experience of knowing people who went thru that particular program, and how they were fed. As a 19 y/o up there visiting friends who played on the team, trust me when I say I would’ve rather eaten the stuff my friends got from the training tables than the fast food my wallet could afford at that time. And this was early 2000’s Clemson football, I’m positive it’s even more elite now. So I’m sure the players were not impressed by that spread.

So I’ve been trying to remember our White House trip.. and after talking it over with @wpdial I’m pretty sure we had a Popeyes box lunch picnic near the National Mall. So for the record... 22 year old me would’ve dominated that Wendy’s and Taco Bell #fatkid #americanfood

All we got at the White House was sweet tea. You were happy, but I hate tea Made us eat two breasts and a leg outside outside off property#gaveusZEROsauces




THIS WAS DURING OBAMA'S 2ND TERM!
