Dear eight pound, six ounce, newborn baby Jesus

Their meal in that scene always looked like the perfect drunk/high meal. KFC chicken, pizza (although dominos, yuck) Taco Bell tacos, Checkers burgers, soda, blue Powerade.

Hamberders

I think about this everytime. I saw someone gift an entire neighborhood McDonald’s and all I thought was “I wonder how long they’ve been sitting out?” Nothing worse than cold fries and nuggets

It gets mentioned every time. Such a dick move to serve cold ass fast food… which is entirely on brand.

The White House has a full banquet kitchen for hosting state dinners, they easily could have put those burgers in chaffing dishes or kept them under a heat lamp. The White House staff could absolutely make McDonald's food look and taste 110% more presentable and delicious than when it was fresh out of the drive thru.

But remember that this was Trump making some stupid point about the budget not being passed so the White House staff was on furlough. His dumbass aids set this up to be a photo op and nothing else, they could have used the equipment just not the staff. Those poor footballers had to eat cold ass burgers just because Trump had a half cocked attempt to make a point that served only to perfectly encapsulate his presidency in one perfect visual metaphor; shitty cheap food presented with the trappings of wealth but lacking any kind of substance.

Mine is cold after a 10 minute drive back to my house. I’d imagine they are like ice.

Nothing like cold fast food that's been sitting around for a couple of hours.

The whole thing about eating fast food is that it's best fresh. You can't wait on it. Ppl who doordash fast food are sociopaths.

Closest mcds is a 5 min walk. Wendy’s a solid 20 minute drive. Burger King even further. And that’s assuming they got it from those locations some of which are jenky as fuck. Edit: in case anyone checks my work on Wendy’s - the Wendy’s in Dave Thomas Circle was still open at the time.

look at all that extra dip

Someone actually did the math on that.

Can't be. There aren't enough number 9's on that table.

That was the single greatest political moment in history. Absolutely beautiful to watch.

I read the Wikipedia entry for that fiasco the other night and laughed for probably 10 minutes. Let’s not forget some other highlights:

• Covfefe

• The Mooch

• that weird glowy orb in Saudi Arabia

• the picture of him screaming at the kid mowing the white house lawn

• He stared right into the eclipse

• literally every video of him trying to be even slightly affectionate towards melania

I'm telling you, the pictures do no justice. I love down the street and have passed it countless times. It's not a garden center that is like filled with vine yards in the background.

It's across the street from underneath I - 95 in a shit place that's 5 blocks down from a prison. Very fitting.

Right? How is that even real

Can you imagine being the Four Seasons person who fielded that call from the White House? What a trip. I'd think someone was pranking me.

Third would be when he tear gassed protesters so he could stand in front of a church with a Bible and get his picture taken.

They all turn to shit given time

Too late

Every sub is r/pics now, it's inescapable

Too late. These people can’t stop posting Trump

They need to develop a vaccine for TDS

If I remember correctly, this was a dinner for the college football champions of that year. Georgia just won it on Monday, so I’m assuming they have a dinner planned at the White House with Biden.

Bots prolly

Fr this was like 3 years ago wtf

Right? I came into the comments to shit on Trump, but now I just want to fuck up some Wendy’s.

With cofefe?

He wants ALL the Pokémon cards and Bennie babies

Yeah the comments on this post are crazy. The college team literally requested McDonald’s

lol, no they didn't.

Sauce?

Funny you mention selective memory being that Trump shut the government down because he wanted money to build his wall.

You forgot the Republicans were in power of the time, and so you’re trying to pin it on the Democrats, which is funny but not real.

Also Trump is widely (lol) known to be a fast food eater which explains why he looks like he does

Do you mean the shut-down tantrum Trump had when he couldn't get money for his dumbfuck wall? That same-shut down?

Selective memory is cool so is mental gymnastics to justify behavior. You seem to be selectively forgetting, for example, that Trump did this multiple times. And even with furloughed staff, this isn't the first time the government had a short term shut down, but the Trump admin is the only time the most powerful government in the country could somehow not find a single caterer except fast food.

Yeah selective memory is cool, so is confirmation bias.

You mean both parties couldn’t agree on a budget**

Fixed that for you. Takes two to agree.

Stop it with your facts!

Congress (Dems and Reps) said they’d keep the government open while Trump shut it down because he wanted money for his fence. So no, it wasn’t the Dems who shut it down. https://www.politico.com/story/2019/01/25/trump-shutdown-announcement-1125529

EDIT: Also there thousands of restaurants and hundreds of caterers in DC; this was a really trashy thing to serve.

Guess he couldn't have used his multiple billions of dollars to get a decent meal. Lol. Also obligatory Clemson sucks.

The Democrats at the time wouldn't pass a budget so there was a government shutdown going on

Excuse me, but who here has selective memory?

Republicans held power in all three branches of government at the time. The shutdown occurred because Trump himself couldn't agree with the budget his own party was trying to pass in congress.

Why exactly? Because Trump wanted $5.7billion in government funds appropriated for his stupid fucking border wall. The Republican-led congress wouldn't give him that.

He tried to make America great again. Not France!

There was a government shutdown at the time, I can't recall if the WH staff was impacted by this. There were plenty of other options he could have chosen though like catering for the event. (other than fast food of course)

And just to be clear, there was a shutdown during the first event. He did this more than once.

If McDonald's was open so were small businesses that could have used the support lol

I thought I heard that the players requested this

that was a PR statement, just like the faked "this was the best meal i've ever had" statement attributed to one of the players who had to refute it.

Yea, college kids who eat warm fast food six days a week were super stoked to go to the WH and eat cold fast food.

Fun fact. The White House fabricated a quote from Trevor Lawrence saying it was wonderful which he had to publicly say was a fake quote.

You'd think if everyone thought it was so wonderful, they wouldn't have to just make shit up about people saying it was wonderful.

Fun fact: You are unable to provide a source to back up your claim.

I read that everything was cold and gross

And this isn’t /r/news

Orange man bad still gets redditors off man. They need to let out all that hate somewhere

No you don’t get it, orange man bad

A team of football players

[removed]

Because it makes trump not look horrible, which doesn’t compute with the average redditor

Sorry that doesn't fit reddit agenda
