Apropos of nothing why did Trump serve collegiate champions Wendys* at the White House?

It wasn't anti-elitist. It actually dripped with condescension to believe average Americans want to be feted with fast food on special occasions.




*Maybe it was Burger King or McDonald's.

As to why fast food--his ignorance prevailed. No elite athlete at any major university is fed that kind of crap.

Fast food, when served fresh and right, can still be a very tasty—if unhealthy—guilty pleasure.

Fast food sitting cold on a table for a couple of hours, however, is no one’s idea of a good meal.

And that’s what he did.
