WH kitchen staff furloughed...so Trump says: First & Second Ladies could have made "little salads"

for the Clemson players?
(So that's why he went with serving them garbage)



So, Comrade in Chief doesn't have dedicated cooks anymore, (because of HIS CHOICE) and he's going to make the WOMEN pay for it!?!?!

Yeah, I know the guy is a misogynist, but really?

Get your OWN ASS in the kitchen and make your damn salads you Toad Dick!!!

How to make a salad?
How to sear steaks?
How to cook a big pot of chili?

But of course, that's what he's always done.

It's just infuriating.

People like him is why I hope there's a hell.

He can't just die and go into oblivion never knowing how WRONG he is!!

Wonder how she would feel if she were commissioned to make sandwiches for WH visitors. Not even her own house.
(Having second thoughts about signing that pledge that she's a born again Christian? Would she have enough self-respect to say no to 45?)

When you buy into bigotry (anti-LBGT), you buy into all bigotry (misogyny). Hope she enjoys the ride.

Its a promotion/donation thing for one of our businesses

Its not hard too do if you have the time and a Sams Club membership.

What do the boys want? Its easy---a homecooked meal, but a lot of it. Kids these days don't get that due to busy lifestyles, etc

Anything but pasta and fast food (except subs, when I don't have the time I hit up the Firehouse)

I do the old "meat and three" with bread, salad and dessert. Water to drink per the coaches

Their favorite meal varies based on the player. They get special meals for special games ( senior night, homecoming, playoffs)

The boys love it. Our son stopped playing there 2 years ago and they beg me to come back

For someone in the hotel/hospitality business, Trump has absolutely no feeling for what the customer might want or need. Zero empathy. Another reason not to stay at any of his hotels or eat in any of his restaurants.

It would have been more frugal and personal to have prepared a huge pot of pasta with vegetables on top, with salad and fresh bread. I’m not Betty Crocker, but even I can’t mess that up. It would have taken up some of his Twitter time, but he could have done that by himself and it would have been a very positive publicity stunt. Even with his shutdown-blaming speech, I would not have criticized a move like that.

They always have been fed that. All the other teams get that in the other sports they play
It’s common athlete food for the carbs.

I make Mac and Cheese homemade recipe is instead or chicken Alfredo they inhale it

Unless this is Sister Wives: White House Edition, that seems offensive to me. Many Presidents have had daughters, quite a few living under the same roof. I have never heard of any of them using that title. I can imagine the outrage, even without inuendos of a disturbingly innapropriate relationship, if others has done so. I know I bristle when he says or does almost anything, so maybe I’m overreacting. Nobody seems to have given it a second thought. Is it just me?

But yes, things he has said about his daughter are beyond creepy and go into downright incestuous.

I automatically thought he meant Ivanka! He’s clearly making me crazy! I’m still annoyed that he didn’t think to meantion that he could have chopped lettuce, too, but I need to back away from the news!

"JUNE 12, 2017

Trump had to work hard to feed them cold fast food to get his photo-op.
