I know I’ll probably get downvoted for saying this, but the amount of hate he got for doing this was about as unwarranted as Obama’s white suit episode.
There was a government shutdown and the White House catering staff was on unpaid leave. And he was hosting a football team, not some delegation of international politicians. He basically did what anyone else would do if they have an unexpected visit and no food in the house. His guests had no complaints either, only the press hated it.

And this would be understandable if he were a middle class housewife. But this is the US president, during a shutdown caused by Trump. There should have been any number of restaurants that would have dropped everything to fill an order for the White House. This entire episode was just an embarrassment.
A middle class family couldn’t afford this much McDonald’s. They’d also have more taste and class than to serve this.
Agreed they could call many restaurants that offer catering. Or, he, his wife, or any of his adult children could have made a home cooked meal for stellar optics instead of this travesty.
Fat fucking chance I’m eating a home cooked meal made by Melania, Ivanka, Don Jr., and Eric. It would be fucking boiled potatoes, plain canned corn and green beans, and overcooked New York strip steaks.
He could’ve just as easily hired someone to cater and make good food, instead he spent $5000 on fast food because he thinks that’s what college football players prefer.
Also, Trump was the reason for the government shutdown because he wanted funding for his bullshit border wall.
Yeah you’ll get downvoted, because spending 5k on cold hamburgers from McDonald’s ist not something anybody would do. It’s something an idiot would do. Everyone with two brain cells would have started calling large restaurants or catering providers and ask them if they can make something happen.
Im not going to bother looking for it but there are videos of the players coming into the room and one of them is heard asking if this was a joke/real. They were dressed up for fine dining at a respected instituition, not a family BBQ at the park.
At the White House? Yes. Like, literally, are you a fucking dumbass? How hard in the head were you hit as a child? Or are you just the trashiest of trailer trash that’s ever existed?
It wasn’t the fact that it looked good on him that he got crap for, it was the question whether it was appropriate for the occasion (a press conference discussing the potential escalation of military strikes in Syria).
Tradition demands that you wear a dark suit for something as serious as discussing the sacrifice of other people’s lives. A tan suit has more of a lighthearted vibe and is therefore something you’d wear to a festivity, not when discussing drone strikes.
I don’t think anyone would really even remember if he hadn’t written hAmBeRdEr. No one was talking for weeks about how this incident clearly made him an inappropriate president. We laughed and moved on for the most part. Not remotely the same as the tan suit “incident”.
I’m not even a Trumper, I don’t care if he’s re-elected or not, but he certainly wasn’t as terrible a president as everyone says. Most of the drama was just the media making flies into elephants.
Yes, because Trump and his people are anti-vaxxers who have convinced their legions to never vaccinate or wear a mask and they keep dying. And Biden has never suggested a bleach cure.
Trump supported the vaccine you idiot. It was the Democrats who were against it while he was in office, and then promptly wanted to make the very same vaccine mandatory as soon as Biden took over.
Sorry, stopped reading at the insult. I have no interest in Reddit-style behavior. If you want to talk to me with the courtesy I have afforded you, I will go back and read the rest of your post.
I have a feeling this will be replied to with another insult.

😂 and so much ketchup. A1 is too spicy.
Bold of you to think they know how to boil water or use a can opener.
But he looks so proud of himself. Can you really hate him for that?
Yes. And specifically for that exact reason.

Any caterer or restaurant in the DC Metro area would have provided $5000 worth of food for the publicity alone.
Maybe he could have gotten restaurant food instead of fast food. Just because they’re a football team doesn’t mean they don’t appreciate good food.
But also… the picture.
He basically did a McBang.
It was a college football team. Basically a bunch of dudes in the early 20s. You think they care about fine dining?

Obama looked fly in the tan suit, this just looks fucking awful. Would you serve this shit to your guests?
TAN SUIT!!! How unamerican. The next thing you’re going to tell me is that he puts Dijon mustard on his hot dogs…
/s
You’d have to be a serious degenerate to go out of your way to eat a hot dog and not bother to put Dijon mustard on it.
It’s that the suit people shat on him for? It looks good. I don’t get wtf problem is with people.
Wtf America?
It’s because republicans are racist.

It’s kinda funny. And don’t you mean tan suit?
Yes, that’s what I meant.
lol imagine thinking that wearing a tan suit and serving people cold ass McDonald’s is equivalent.
You trumpers try way too hard to find equivalencies when the easier option is to just admit what a fuck bag the dude is. He isn’t worth defending ffs.

The families of the million Americans who died of COVID might disagree about those deaths being flies.
More people died of COVID while Biden was in office than on Trump’s watch.

“I’m going to ignore your source because you used a bad word” is probably the most Reddit thing I’ve seen here in a while.
You attacked me without provocation, why would I do you the favor of doing what you want from me?
Whatever you say, mac n cheesus.
My biggest problem with this is that he didn’t have any Taco Bell.
