    Reality: Amidst a government shutdown, trump invited a college football champion team to thr White House for dinner. Which ended up being a boatload of cold Mcdonalds.

    What a disgusting picture in so many ways. The most being the contrast to Lincoln in the portrait behind him. Convince me we’re not in full fledge “Idiocracy” mode.

        Well, technically President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho only enlists Not Sure/Joe Bauer’s help to fix the nation-wide food shortage caused by watering plants with sports drink (Brawndo’s got what plants crave, it’s got electrolytes) because they’re starving and don’t have any other options, and when he doesn’t fix it within one week he gets thrown into a demolition derby against monster trucks with only a dildo to defend himself.

        So I wouldn’t say he necessarily valued the opinion of people more intelligent than him, at least until the prostitute from 2005 proves that watering plants with water (like out of the toilet) works just in time.

        Great movie.

    This picture was a carefully staged photo op, that Donald Trump wanted out there.

    He also stared directly at a solar eclipse once.

      Yes, the fact that he’s proudly smiling shows who this man truly is. That and the time he stood at a press conference in front of experts and suggested that he had found the solution to COVID and it was just injecting bleach. I just wish he’d tried it.

      Wasn’t this for that meal they had for some football team that were guests at the Whitehouse or something like that?

        Eating McDonalds is fine. But going to the White House and getting served McDonalds, is like getting a Transformer box for Christmas and finding a Gobot inside.

    Also consider that at the time, the Trump International Hotel was mere blocks away, containing multiple high end restaurants. He chose McD’s, since he was such a billionaire.

      He probably paid for the meals with gov funds. If he were to pay his own company with that money it’d create a conflict of interest. And if he was to have his own hotel cook then it’d cost him money.
