Fast food at the Whitehouse?
« on: January 15, 2019, 10:04:29 PM »
Bit of a lighthearted topic.  What do you guys think?  I can't decide if it's brilliant and accept Trump's logic ( college kids love fastfood,  so why not have a giant smorgasbord of it?)  or if it's tacky and the cheap bastard should've sprung for Ruth's Chris out of his own pocket.  To me the latter would've been classy and generous.

Also,  who has a sampler buffet of all the fastfood and doesn't call Jesus Chicken?  That stuff is awesome and it triggers the hell out of the left.

Yeah it's tacky, but orange man bad and we knew this, he eats ketchup on well done steak! Who cares. It was genuine Trump, he probably wanted a cheeseburger for lunch.

Meanwhile the Islamists had a bang up day, four or five of the Euro zone are powderkegs from Brexit, to swedish assimilation, to the yellow vests, etc etc, but our news is all in on OMB!

If I were going for fast food in that setting, I might have made it just a pizza party (though Jesus chicken would have been awesome for the head explosions). If it were me though, and I had Trump's dough, I would have hired any number of DC caterers to show up with hot food.

Regardless, whatever he did would be dissed by the MSM and SJWs.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I simply love the fact that the left is absolutely going apeshit over this. I've read some hysterical stuff on line.

What are we talking about, please? Did the shutdown close the White House kitchen, forcing Trump to bring in McBurgers?

I put it right up there with Obama's tan suit or his un-American preference in condiments or putting his feet up on the furniture.
So basically the worst thing that has ever happened to this country.  :laugh:

It did produce some absurd imagery and I can't help but laugh at most of it.


My only knock on the whole thing is that it seems like he went for really bottom of the barrel fast food. McDonalds?!?  [barf] at least spring for some Five Guys or something.

I'll take Mickey D's over Five Guys any day.

Their burger meat is absolutely tasteless and their fries are, at best, mediocre. Not sure why everyone is so crazy about the place.

When Clinton was in office his taste for McDonalds was a sign of him being regular folk. To be fair, I don’t think he faked the taste for McDonalds.

When Obama and Biden went to Five-Guys and bought burgers for some of the Whitehouse Staff and Brian Williams who was documenting the trip - yes that Brian Williams - it showed he was a regular guy.

When Trump who it’s well documented likes fast food gets it for the kids. It shows he has no class. One of these things is not like the others. Of course yes he could have done something fancy, he probably really thought college kids like fast food and so do I and went with that. He probably wasn’t wrong. I ate a lot of fast food at that age, and even today I do now and again.

If you think Five Guys is fast food, you've never been there.

Agreed. I tried Five Guys. Almost twenty bucks for a very unexceptional hamburger, a big bag of greasy, undercooked fries, and a small soda? Thanks, but no thanks. Even McD's is better than that, although I prefer Burger King's burgers. (But I prefer McDonald's fries -- too bad they aren't next door to one another in my area.)

I think Trump is a germaphobe, but he is probably right about fast food being cleaner than most restaurants. The product is less raw ingredients, standardized, regimented. Yes the floors are hideous and the dairy machine will kill you eventually, but I see why he likes it. And I still go to McDonald's, but the burgers are to salty for me and I love salt. Stuff will kill you if it is the base of your diet.

Bethany Mandel, no fan of Trump, had a good take on this.

Quote
If Trump had managed to serve a banquet, if he had fed them better food, the headlines would have read “DONALD TRUMP HOSTS FANCY PARTIES WHILE FEDERAL WORKERS ARE LITERALLY IN BREAD LINES.”

It still hasn’t been reported (that I’ve seen, anyway) what Democrats are eating while on a “work trip” to Puerto Rican beaches. Just saying.

Also, I just now learned that the reason for the MacDaddy's spread was the shut-down leaving the White House short-staffed.

Sweet memories to drive us on,
