Trumps Party Guests Traumatized After Having To Use Plastic Spoons For Caviar

Trump’s Party Guests ‘Traumatized’ After Having To Use Plastic Spoons For Caviar


You know how Trump likes to say that he is the President of “average Joes” across the country? Well, that might be true — after all, he serves caviar with plastic spoons just like the rest of us.

As you’re probably aware, Trump bemoaned the fact that the government shutdown he and his party caused made him have to miss his big election anniversary extravaganza at the Mar-a-Lago.

While his sons Don Jr. and Eric filled in for him, Trump’s guests were less than pleased with their $100k-$250k price of admission because they’re spoiled rich jerks.

“I hate to do this, but this is a total disgrace, shame on Mar-a-Lago, you can’t serve caviar with plastic spoons!” a horrified guest posted on Instagram. “Please offer your caviar with mother of pearl spoons and dishes.”




“Wait until you see the accompaniments,” the guest wrote, adding that she is still “traumatized.”

You ready to see these “horrific” accompaniments? Of course you are:




Before you assume that Trump’s supporters are spoiled rich jackasses, put yourself in their shoes for a moment: when you eat caviar, don’t you want your blini and mini-toasts to be top tier? What is this, Communist China? Worse yet, they probably used sour cream instead of crème fraiche.

It is unclear if the Caviar, like Trump’s masters, was Russian.

they just told someone to get them a ticket. Captain's Waffers and Ritz Crackers go will all my canned tuna, so I don't see what's wrong with plastic spoons and caviar?

And one of the commenters mentioned that caviar has a chemical reaction with most metal silverware. They make special mother of pearl spoons for caviar.

(Note-- I have not tried caviar nor do I have a desire to. Just sharing what I just learned).

If I had so few problems, I could be traumatized by something like this.

As for the poor person who was disgusted, she should do what I do: carry your own goddamned mother of pearl spoon, just in case.

Now, if it was real caviar, I'd welcome people refusing to take it with a plastic spoon. More for me!
