The Democrats refusal to compromise on border security and reopen the government didnt stop President Trump from hosting national champion @ClemsonFB tonight. He personally paid for the event to be catered by some of Americas great fast food joints

(16,876 posts)His "rich ass" couldn't afford to spring for something a little more upscale? Nah, 2 for 5$ menu works. Smdh. What an embarrassment and it's a perfect metaphor for this goat wrangle of an administration.

Much like Kanye pounding on the Oval Office and saying mf for the cameras.

(7,947 posts)The White House employs a highly-trained chef with a staff, and I'm sure they could have created a healthy and delicious and HOT meal for these young champs.

(772 posts)somehow, he didn't really pay for this either. He's never paid for anything.

There, fixed it for ya.

(5,813 posts)He probably had the staff instructed to make sure no one left with silverware or a silver tray. Which come to think of it was kind of ridiculous considering what they were serving. Silver service and candelabras for fast food?? Emily Post just rolled over in her grave.

(1,822 posts)Just like when his receipts for charitable donations came out during the campaign ad it was something pitifully low, when he springs for something he goes on the cheap.

(32,094 posts)AFAIK, championship teams don't traditionally get fed on their visits. Sometimes they'll get to see the Oval Office, but usually they all gather in the press room for some speeches, and presenting the President with a jersey and other gifts. After the dog-and-pony show, everyone goes about their business. No meal. No coffee and donuts. No drinks and appetizers.
This was just a set-up for more of his bullshit distractions. He threw some junk food at these kids in order to pull his "Look how generous I am! Poor me! I'm forced to shell out my own money to feed them, because the Democrats are being mean to me" act. People are talking about this bullshit, instead of his crimes and inability to do his fucking job. These kids were just pawns in his stupidass reality show.

(18,837 posts)Mueller, the #TrumpShutdown, the NYT story.
Every time Trump pulls something like this I remember the famous "Simpsons" episode in which Bart is told to create a "distraction."
So he starts wiggling around, doing a stupid dance.
Milhouse looks up and yells "Hey everybody, look over there! Bart is DOING STUFF!"
And Principal Skinner snaps "BART! Stop creating a distraction!"
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Clemson ate and went home. Cue the next distraction.
