Has to be noted that the White house chef and the rest of the government employees were furloughed due to Govt shutdown. Still shit.
Mh, I wonder who was behind the government shutdown…
Congress, same as always.
GOP in Congress.
The one time the Dems shut down the government it was a legalism that was quickly repaired.
GOPs get elected and then mess up the government they are suppsoed to be running.

That’s by design since Reagan. They mess it up to prove it doesn’t work.
Don’t suggest fixing it though. They don’t want to hear about that.
Don’t get me started on Reagan.
Just don’t
Unfair characterization to not point out it was a republican dominated congress in both houses at the time that did that intentionally.
Too bad the president at the time wasn’t a guy who always bragged about how rich he was, a guy who had a hotel just down the street with a bunch of high-paid chefs that weren’t just reheating Whopper patties.
I would imagine his chefs are not paid well, to be honest
Rich, maybe. Kind, definitely not.
This is a perfect example of being completely right to be critical but for the wrong reason and the real reason is way worse.
Trumps ineptitude led to the white house staff being out of work without pay which had much larger real world consequences than some ball players eating a shitty meal.
How many of those furloughed workers kids missed meals entirely because of trumps fuck up? But there was no photo op at those kitchen tables.
He still had a bajillion other options. He chose this because he has no class, no taste buds, and was probably paid by McDonald’s.
And don’t forget the racism.
Most of thar basketball team was black, and he assumed they would like mcdonalds because of it.
Are black people known for liking McDonald’s? That’s a new one for me.
No but this is Trump we’re talking about. He’s not smart
I feel like Kamala would whip up a full course meal herself before stooping to cold fast food. By all accounts she’s a great cook, and she grows her own peppers.
Definitely not as shitty as it appears, but the photo is classic.
Nah, it’s still as shitty as it appears. Dude could have at least hired a catering company.
Would have booked a fucking landscaping company by accident.
“Eat dirt!”
It’s shitty.
Trump had a hotel in Washington. He could have had a great meal prepared there.
The best meal. The biggest meal.
That’s what people are saying…people are talking about this…
That was so shitty of him. You win the ultimate athletic achievement in your sport, you get invited to the White House expecting a lavish state dinner, and the asshole in charge says, “here’s your cold Big Macs. Enjoy. Oh, you don’t like Big Macs? Don’t worry, we also have Burger King!”
And his “defense” of that was that he bought it all himself. The guy who claims to be so rich that he’s richer than the richest rich who ever riched bragged about paying a few hundred bucks for fast food when he hosted Superbowl winners. And it was cold.
the photo is a perfect example of expectation vs. reality of his whole ‘presidency’-- decent food vs mountains of garbage that might have been edible when it was prepared 4-8 hours ago, but whose flavor now can’t even be covered up by the 2400mg of salt in each bite. and of course he’s standing back there with his stupid shit-eating grin as if he’s done a huge favor for someone, which no one who ever lived could have done better
the photo is a perfect example of expectation vs. reality of his whole ‘presidency’
Everyone with a brain knew his presidency would be shit. He is the worst president that has ever existed in my entire life, by several orders of magnitude. He’s officially the 4th worst president in the history of the United States.
i just meant “expectation” referring to the standards of the office of the president, not what anyone actually expected from trump
Who are the other 3?
From Wikipedia:
Most surveys of the 21st century considered James Buchanan (left), Lincoln’s predecessor, as the worst president for his leadership during the build-up to the Civil War. Several ranked Lincoln’s successor Andrew Johnson last for blocking civil rights for freed slaves and undermining Reconstruction. Donald Trump, first ranked in 2018, has consistently polled among the bottom four and twice in last place, due to breaking longstanding norms such as the peaceful transition of power, a US precedent not broken since Washington first set it in 1797.
I’m actually not sure who the 4th one is and don’t want to spend any more time looking.
I enjoy how thrilled he looks about the selection. He’s like an 8-year-old throwing a birthday party. “You guys! Look what my mom got us for lunch!!!”
I’m only surprised it wasn’t all Happy Meals.
“I have a very good brain. My Uncle went to MIT. Good genes, very smart. So when I say Happy Meals are the best food you can get, you know it is! Trust me, folks. You get a little toy inside. A little plastic toy. Sometimes it’s a car, folks, but sometimes, if you’re a girl, it’s a little dolly. A little dolly, folks. I always get the car unless it’s a Disney toy. We love Lilo and Stitch, don’t we, folks?”
For some reason, I read this being spoken in an Adam Sandler’s waterboy voice “I have a very good brain…”
And his “defense” of that was that he bought it all himself.
Which is just another of his lies. He was probably paid by McDonald’s for this advertising.
I don’t like McDonald’s but this was probably the least offensive and most quintessentially American thing he ever did (other than getting shot at lol). If he was just a no taste bumpkin with a good heart it would be fine, but he ain’t got no heart.
He only did it because he forced the government into a lockdown over his wall, and legally couldn’t pay any of the staff’s chefs
Wow even this one seemingly innocuous event is tainted
He didn’t get shot. He got hit with debris from a ricochet.
But that isn’t as cool to his base.
An important distinction. I’ll edit my comment
So what evidence convinced you that was the case?
Aside from the multiple news sources reporting that he was hit by glass fragments from the teleprompter, the wound is pretty obviously not from a bullet. An intact bullet would have caused much more damage, which would have taken much longer to heal.
Edit: I’m not linking to any articles because I have no idea what news sources you’re going to claim are “fake news”. The information is out there if you want to find it, and plenty of information claiming “he took a bullet for his country” if you don’t.
lol I wasn’t planning on calling anything fake news. I was just curious if there was more to it than the teleprompter fragment bit, which I don’t believe. But it has always been perplexing to me that the wound was so “minimal” and how quickly it seemed to just be gone. Like look at the interview from the Black Journalists convention. It looks fuckin’ fine lmao
By the way, I don’t believe the teleprompter bit simply because it doesn’t seem physically possible. Maybe I’m wrong. 🤷🏼♂️
Ah okay. My bad for misjudging you. But yeah, how quickly it healed is evidence enough. My ear piercings took longer to heal than his “gunshot wound”. LOL
My only thing is that, since the teleprompter shard isn’t ’believable’ to me, what the hell could have happened? Maybe I’m just seriously miscalculating something in my head, very plausible because I’m stupid. but I haven’t seen any other explanation than the teleprompter so again I’m like 🤷🏼♂️
I’m no ballistics expert, but bullets move very quickly, so it makes sense to me that they’d shatter glass with enough enough force to break the skin.
It could have been a small bullet fragment from a ricochet, or any sort of debris that was kicked up from the bullet impact. Bullets move hella fast.
Idk, if someone shoots at you and misses, you still get shot.
That’s being shot at, not shot.
Lol what??? No you’re only getting shot if the bullet hits you.
If you use the urinal next to me, you’re still peeing on me?
I guess in both cases it boils down to aim
In my case, yeah.
Jesus McDonalds is only edible if you eat it right after its cooked. Seeing as there isn’t a drive through window in the white house I’m sure all this shit was already cold and shitty.
I mean, most hot food from anywhere is best eaten hot. This is why I can’t understand takeout delivery services: you pay a ridiculously high fee to have food that is at best a bit warm brought to you a long time after you ordered it.
Idk, i like noodle dishes or a good pizza cold the day after. But McDonald’s is barely edible when fresh, and absolutely repulsive when cold.
McDonald’s was the easiest place to access on the way to my last job. I’m always running at the exact time I need to be running with 10 minutes to spare for the unforeseen, which honestly isn’t enough, I know. McDonald’s is the fastest of the fast food by a lot.
I hate, hate, hate, gagging down cold McDonald’s. There is nothing on that menu which requires cooking that I can even remotely stand cold. Of course, you can’t go without food so I’d force it down anyway. I wouldn’t even say I tolerated it. I literally cussed it the whole way down.
Hardee’s makes some good food, but Jesus Christ their portions are insane. I never finish a whole sandwich from there and I hate to waste food. I can’t imagine eating a combo from there. I wish they had a skinny man version of all their food.
Of course, I’m not working at that job anymore so I haven’t had McDonald’s in over a month. I haven’t missed it either.
Imagine the stench in that room omg must have lingered for a while too
And then add the smell of McDonalds on top of that, gross.
The smell would be like a physical wall
Like having your olfactory system beaten with a baseball bat of scent, it would be an assault on your sense of smell.
Soggy McDonald’s and a full diaper
knowing how a maccas burger will make my body emit that very specific smell for like 2-3 days, i can only imagine they had to get new furniture for that room.
Unfair criticism, he’s also gave them jazz hands. How many people can say they got to see the president so jazz hands in person???
Well ok I guess not everyone would have seen the jazz hands. They are kinda small, but it’s the thought that counts.
He spreads them and puts them closer to the camera so they look bigger
I think he might have big sleeves, rather than small hands.
IIRC it was confirmed that his hands are small for a man of his height.
Lol look at his goofy ass.
He’s so proud of his fast food accomplishment.
“We have the world’s best food here, made by only the greatest minimum wage chefs… Everybody agrees its great!”
Now I wonder did they send multiple gofers to multiple McDs/Wendy’s or do you think they really had someone go to a single restaurant and order all at once? Because there is no way one fast food restaurant could prep and hold that many to give to a customer and have it be in edible condition, let alone long enough to take to back and set up.
Hopefully they called ahead at least
This is trump. He did whatever was the most malicious towards those workers.
Probably specifically sent someone who would yell and threaten the manager with Trump’s wrath.
Might have even been smart enough to order Trump’s stuff anonymously at the start of it and not started yelling until it was safe and spit free in their hands. But I don’t know if Trump has that kind of foresight or awareness.
How much did McDonald’s pay him for this advertising?
No compenstation, he’s just ordering his typical lunch
They’re gonna have so many Filet-O-Fish left over. Nobody eats those unless it’s a religious holiday.
what??? that my favorite thing there. extra tar tar please. I know others too. lent is just awesome because they get more affordable.
Back when I still ate there (McDonald’s, not the white house lol) the fish was all I ate. I know it’s pointless to debate taste, but I don’t know how anyone can stomach their beef. At least not sober, which was my excuse haha
I never understood why they’d always advertise Filet-O-Fish in March. I figured that there was a lot of extra fish so they could sell more of them or something. Then I asked someone with ash smeared on their forehead on a random Wednesday and they explained it to me.
An old roommate of mine calls it fishshamwish (said as all one word) and that’s all they eat from there
I eat them, but only if I order 2 different burgers
That being said, after 5 mins, of sitting there going soggy , those burgers will make the whole room smell and taste like fart.
As if there aren’t already enough disincentives to be stuck with Trump for half an hour and listen to him talk about himself.
Funny thing is if he had contacted McDonald’s head office, they probably would have sent them McDonald’s chefs and cater the whole thing fresh just for the free press, which they got anyways
Close your eyes as I talk you through the smell… a pile of 600 cold, soggy Arby’s beef cheese sandwiches mixed with the smell of sweaty bronzer and full diapers from trump and vape smoke and trump branded cologne from conservative WH interns that set it all up.
Is this AI generated or real? So weird if true.
It was real.
Bro, that was what, like, five years ago?
Are you a bot?
Did you know that thing that happened in the parliament in Belgium five years ago or are you a bot?
Belgium? What state it is in? Sounds made up
Touché.
How the hell am I supposed to know everything ?
No, you’re right. It’s just that it was such a big ridiculous thing back in the day. Like, meme material big. So for a second it didn’t occur to me that not everyone was paying attention to everything Trump was doing as a president.
I think this was during a government shutdown so maybe that wasn’t an option? Aside from using his own money, which… you know… would never happen
