Hot garbage president serves cold garbage food
Fun fact - presidents pay out of pocket to host these dinners. It’s not a write off or anything, it’s straight cash.
Other fun fact - Trump absolutely loves McDonald’s.
So this trashy guy hosted a fancy dinner with McDonald’s, and paid about $1000 for it.
Lol … Actually thinking that he paid for anything.
He probably ordered it from the nearest McDonald’s and just demanded it all because he’s president, promised them they’d get paid … then never thought of them again.
Seriously… Look at how cold that all looks!
Not sure what your angle is here but it was reported to have been cold lol
Thinking about the original photo, seeing so much junk food piled in the white house really feels like a AI generated image
It’s crazy that the only thing photoshopped in that picture is the size of his hands.
Zing!
Covfefe
Confeve!
Covid2024?
Imagine going to the White House and being served a cold ass fast food cheeseburger.
This is high class to his voters.
The painting swap doesn’t add much to this, but is otherwise fitting.
Does anybody knows whose art of back painting? or is it AI stuff?
It photoshopped and swapped original image to match this situation but I couldn’t find it.
You are what you eat after all.
Can confirm, I told my wife that I’m a pussy and she just said that I’m also an ass
Perfect photo summing up his presidency.
I’m gonna be 100% honest here. I would do this if i were president.
There is a mountain of reasons to bash this dipshit. This… this was genius.
Now if you’ll excuse me, that pile of Wendy’s on the left is calling my name…
Partially explains the smell.
'MURICA! WE GOT THE BRAINS!
People make this out to be worse than it is, it’s not a big deal and probably better for the players in the sense that it makes the event more casual
They didn’t travel to the white house expecting or hoping for “casual”. They got cold fast food because the entire government had been shut down.
They went because they felt they had to
Anything that makes it more casual and less of an obligation is a good thing
Being in the same room with a fascist is never ok.
How is that at all relevant to what he served?

Your logic implies that a hundred cows are killed to source a single burger. That’s not how that works. Be vegan, but don’t be stupid.

Yeah that’s true. Pretty horrific when you picture it.
Be vegan, but don’t be stupid.
I think you found the problem there, sport.
I wonder how many mice died for the bun (and forests too)
Removed by mod
what they asked is how many died for the bun. not whether you think that line of reasoning is sufficient to discourage veganism.

If you had bothered to go to the link,
Ed is quoting some pretty misleading statistics to support your point. if this is the best that you have, you might want to reconsider your position.

about 85% of all soybeans are pressed for oil for human uses. but a soybean is only about 20% oil altogether. that leaves 69% of the soybeans as industrial waste. feeding that industrial waste to animals is actually conserving resources.
so it’s not even true that the land used to make food for animals isn’t used to make food for people: it’s the same land.

I know I’ll probably get downvoted for saying this, but the amount of hate he got for doing this was about as unwarranted as Obama’s white suit episode.
There was a government shutdown and the White House catering staff was on unpaid leave. And he was hosting a football team, not some delegation of international politicians. He basically did what anyone else would do if they have an unexpected visit and no food in the house. His guests had no complaints either, only the press hated it.

And this would be understandable if he were a middle class housewife. But this is the US president, during a shutdown caused by Trump. There should have been any number of restaurants that would have dropped everything to fill an order for the White House. This entire episode was just an embarrassment.
A middle class family couldn’t afford this much McDonald’s. They’d also have more taste and class than to serve this.
Agreed they could call many restaurants that offer catering. Or, he, his wife, or any of his adult children could have made a home cooked meal for stellar optics instead of this travesty.
Fat fucking chance I’m eating a home cooked meal made by Melania, Ivanka, Don Jr., and Eric. It would be fucking boiled potatoes, plain canned corn and green beans, and overcooked New York strip steaks.
😂 and so much ketchup. A1 is too spicy.
But he looks so proud of himself. Can you really hate him for that?
Yes. And specifically for that exact reason.

He could’ve just as easily hired someone to cater and make good food, instead he spent $5000 on fast food because he thinks that’s what college football players prefer.
Also, Trump was the reason for the government shutdown because he wanted funding for his bullshit border wall.
Maybe he could have gotten restaurant food instead of fast food. Just because they’re a football team doesn’t mean they don’t appreciate good food.
But also… the picture.
He basically did a McBang.
It was a college football team. Basically a bunch of dudes in the early 20s. You think they care about fine dining?
Im not going to bother looking for it but there are videos of the players coming into the room and one of them is heard asking if this was a joke/real. They were dressed up for fine dining at a respected instituition, not a family BBQ at the park.
At the White House? Yes. Like, literally, are you a fucking dumbass? How hard in the head were you hit as a child? Or are you just the trashiest of trailer trash that’s ever existed?
Yeah you’ll get downvoted, because spending 5k on cold hamburgers from McDonald’s ist not something anybody would do. It’s something an idiot would do. Everyone with two brain cells would have started calling large restaurants or catering providers and ask them if they can make something happen.
Any caterer or restaurant in the DC Metro area would have provided $5000 worth of food for the publicity alone.
Obama looked fly in the tan suit, this just looks fucking awful. Would you serve this shit to your guests?
TAN SUIT!!! How unamerican. The next thing you’re going to tell me is that he puts Dijon mustard on his hot dogs…
/s
It’s that the suit people shat on him for? It looks good. I don’t get wtf problem is with people.
Wtf America?
It wasn’t the fact that it looked good on him that he got crap for, it was the question whether it was appropriate for the occasion (a press conference discussing the potential escalation of military strikes in Syria).
Tradition demands that you wear a dark suit for something as serious as discussing the sacrifice of other people’s lives. A tan suit has more of a lighthearted vibe and is therefore something you’d wear to a festivity, not when discussing drone strikes.

It’s because republicans are racist.
I don’t think anyone would really even remember if he hadn’t written hAmBeRdEr. No one was talking for weeks about how this incident clearly made him an inappropriate president. We laughed and moved on for the most part. Not remotely the same as the tan suit “incident”.
It’s kinda funny. And don’t you mean tan suit?
Yes, that’s what I meant.
My biggest problem with this is that he didn’t have any Taco Bell.
The food is great. Y’all just want to be contrarian.
Oh yes I’m sure all that fast food tasted great after two and a half hours of sitting around while the entire batch was cooked, then transported, then arranged carefully, then had all the eventgoers show up to room temperature food.
McDonald’s barely tastes that good if I wait more than 10 minutes after getting it in the car…
spare me the monologue from S1E1 of Girls. No, its not a good thing that a massive corporation can make cardboard food similar across a global supply chain.
It’s wasteful, decadent, corpo-simp trash thats bad for the individual, the society and the ecosystem.
And it’s not even pleasant food. That doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy it - but like enjoying b-movies, or bad music, or silly clothing… you’re not enjoying it because it’s good.
It’s delicious, easy, and quick.
easy and quick ill agree with. But I’d much rather have a food truck taco or bao.
Agreed, bao is bae
Says someone with negative 2000 karma
We have total karma?
Lololol my views are far more represented in the general population. Being on the lemmy mob is contrarian.
Ewwwwe, this fast food that everyone loves, soooo gross!
Everyone doesn’t love fast food…
You’re welcome to take this dipshit trolling to reddit or Facebook though. You’d probably even get more downvotes/dislikes to jerk it to.
Most people do. Making fun of a dude cause they don’t hate fast food is silly. That seems to be a hot take here 🤷♂️
Your takes are as hot as the burgers trump served.

So why are you here?
To read and comment.
Bro this whole account is just kind of sad.
I hope you make some freinds in real life and find better things to do than troll on lemmy.
I think the folks who think anyone who disagrees with them is a troll are the sad ones 🤷♂️

@LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world try being more respectful and less childish. I’ve gotten reports but I am willing to give you the benefit of the doubt.
Lads in general please don’t get into a heated discussion about McDonald’s. There has to be something better ye can do with your time.
I call out the absurdity of hating on a guy buying McDonald’s and am attacked and I’m getting the warning? Not shocked I guess. If you don’t instinctively hate corporations here you are deemed a troll.
The irony.
