I'm no billionaire. Not even a millionaire. And yet, I would NEVER serve guests fast food, and in the cardboard containers!

He kind of disgraces the White House. He makes Americans look like an inhospitable culture. "Come on over and I'll feed you the same food you can get on the side of the highway!"

all of that was absolute garbage by the time any of the players took a bite. Think about it, they made supposedly 1000 sandwiches, then delivered them to the white house, set them all up to be fancy, took pictures with the press, then the players come in, Trump says a few words and then they eat. I mean, minimum 1 hour from the time they were made until they were eaten. Have you ever eaten McDonalds an hr after you order it? You get about 15 min tops before they get cold and stale.

.... a few times a year. But about 1.5 years ago I was at an auto parts store on the west side
of Columbus and I was hungry and I went to a next door McDs and I got a fish sandwich after which
I went to a job about 20 minutes away and then my body went into a full blown "get that crap"
out of here. I had to drive home and take my pants and underwear off in the shower, then I cleaned
myself up, and then I had to mop up the "leakage" that hit the floor on my way to the bathroom.

The Clemson football players get really good food @ school and so no doubt some of their fancy
clothes might need some washing.

But that choice certainly does not run in my family. My oldest brother loves Wendy's burgers and I honestly have seen him eat one out of his refrigerator, I gagged while watching that but avoided puking on his kitchen tile. He hates Trump with a passion, BTW, and can't wait to see a democrat defeat him.

...meeting with the Japanese Prime Minister and entourage at the Trump Tower, right after he was elected.

In his fake gold parlor (not the famous living room) he sat with them around a low table iirc, and there were zero refreshments, aside from Trump brand bottled water. In the photos I saw, there was not so much as a nut bowl or a candy dish, much less a coffee or tea service. As I said at the time, the poorest peasants in the meanest hut would have offered to share the food they had. But not our appalling new potus, who boasts of his billions.

who's feeding Melanoma and the kid? We know Donnie's in pig heaven with all this fast junk around, but I can't imagine Fair Lady tRump and the Little Prince are OK with it on a steady basis. Oh, wait...have either of them even been spotted since New Years? Surely by now, Barron should be back in classes and on WH territory. And yet, not a peep.

Is it already time for Melanoma to have another "kidney tune-up"?
