Biden has already visited more local D.C. restaurants than Trump as president--here's why it matters

[marmar]

(Salon) After attending morning mass at Holy Trinity Catholic Church on Sunday afternoon, President Joe Biden stopped for a bagel.

Well, photos taken by White House press pool members showed a small swarm of black SUVs parked in front of Call Your Mother, a Jewish deli in Georgetown, while Biden and his granddaughters, Finnegan and Maisy, remained in the car. His son, Hunter, and a number of secret service members, waited at the take-out window where they retrieved a bag of sesame bagels and some tubs of cream cheese, according to the deli.

....(snip)....

But one interesting statistic emerged from tug-of-war between the "Oh, that's wholesome" reactions and the incessant calls from conservatives to revisit the invented Hunter Biden scandal. With that one Sunday afternoon visit — which took place after the president had been in office for about 100 hours — Biden had officially visited as many D.C.-area restaurants during his fledgling administration than former President Donald Trump did during his entire four years in the White House.

....(snip)....

Instead, he would send bodyguards on McDonald's runs and stock formal White House dinners with a buffet of Filet-O-Fish sandwiches and slices of Domino's pizza, all washed down with a dozen daily Diet Cokes, which were summoned using a special button on the Resolute Desk since removed by Biden. Trump occasionally teased visits to area restaurants like the Georgetown Italian restaurant Cafe Milano — which was so popular with his staff that Page Six dubbed it "the second White House cafeteria" — but nothing ever manifested.

....(snip)....

Why does it matter that Biden opted to support a local establishment within his first week as president? Local restaurants are hurting so badly right now, largely because Trump didn't take curtailing the pandemic seriously until it was too late. ...........(more)

2. Reportedly, Trump was afraid someone would poison him.

Why would he get that idea?

3. Trump has no soul, no class, no empathy - an empty meat sack.

4. The real story is

Mass followed by bagels and a schmear. Now that’s America, and that’s the Biden presidency.

Coming next: Mass followed by Chinese takeout. Mass followed by tamales. Mass followed by shrimp and grits.

11. And on and on. Lovely.

5. Trump prefers his food in bucket and brown box form.

Biden is a real mensch. Trump is absolute trash.

The difference between the two men is glaringly obvious. Even the dumbest MAGAt should be able to see it.

12. I'm sur they do see it. It's their preference which is telling.

7. Uh oh! This sounds like bad news for McDonalds!

What will White House guests eat if the President refuses to serve them hamburgers?

[luv2fly]

8. A dozen diet cokes a day?

That is just not good...

10. 12 a day? That's a lot of freaking aspartame. (nt)

13. The pics of Obama visiting local places were always fun and Biden would also go at times

Trump just eats crap. It's not even that it's not healthy it's fucking mcdonalds and dominos . I mean there must be better burger and pizza places around there.
