Several athletes said the food was all cold and stale.

Why not bring in a catering company? It’s all so damn dumb.

The White House staff is furloughed so he’s alone serving cold fast food. This picture is worth 5.1 billion words.

So this is 'dinning' at the White House?

1. Catering? Surely there's nothing suitable nearby...

[gratuitous]

16. Trump paid for it himself

You think he's going to spring for Olive Garden or Outback Steakhouse? Fuhgeddaboudit.

[Moostache]

2. That stuff is barely "food" when served hot...

Cold fast food, especially soggy french fries, is utterly disgusting stuff.

Typical nonsense from Lil' Donny 2 Scoops...he thinks its a grand idea and therefore the lackeys around him just do whatever he tells them without so much as a peep of dissention or discussion on the course of action.

Sad for the Clemson team, terrifying for this nation.

3. He owns a high end hotel

don't they all do catering?

[MyOwnPeace]

9. What? You expect him to..........

try and make some money on something he organized?

"Why, my goodness, hasn't anybody ever heard of the "emoluments clause" (other than my nominee for Attorney General)?"

13. He missed a chance

He could have had his DC Hotel cater it and charged the tax payers $150 Million.

[niyad]

4. some chefs in the DC area (jose andres, for one) are busy feeding furloughed federal workers.

5. "... It's all so damn dumb."

Pretty much sums up the Trump administration doesn't it?

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

6. BECAUSE TRUM WANTED THE LEFTOVERS. Please....

He warmed up about 5 or 6 of them after he left and threw the rest in the refridge for later. Going to be a long shut down. Anytime there's a ?, ask how it benefits him. Answers flow.

7. Food was cold and state and the host was a Russian agent

not the best of environments to celebrate.

[icymist]

8. Nobody is going to want to eat at the White House after this.

It's Trumps "Let them eat cake moment" only this,... these cold and stale fast food... this is dumpster quality food!
What a disgrace!

[MyOwnPeace]

10. Yep, you got it!

"Let 'em eat hamberders!"

[jodymarie aimee]

11. does he ever take that tent off

inside the house, wearing that dumb overcoat...to hide his fat...

[icymist]

12. "I thought this was a joke"

“I thought this was a joke,” says one of the athletes grabbing cold fast food hamburgers at The White House.

Clemson's championship athletes cannot believe that Trump actually served them a ton of junk food at the White House.

They said so out loud in this video.

Donald Trump says he doesn't exercise, because he thinks it is unhealthy.#mondaythoughts

And now for a word from Burger King:

14. ...

[bdtrppr6]

15. I would like to see photos

of the actual "eating" situation. From a few tweets I saw, it looked like they had to stand around a ballroom holding plates or standing at taller tables. Did they not even make it convenient to eat that shitty food?

[Grasswire2]

17. HE OWNS A CATERING COMPANY two blocks away in his hotel.

We saw the menu here last night.

A bit more expensive than fast food.

But then he said fast food is our best.

[IggleDuer]

18. "Cold and Stale" ...

... I thought they were. talking about the orange MFer.

[mopinko]

19. a friend of mine used to work for mickyd corporate

in pr. he posted this morning that they never, ever served the food off site. it is good for 5 min, period. after that it is shit.
