Pictures From Trump's Fast-Food Feast, Ranked by Sadness

[Quixote1818]

Last night, as you have no doubt already heard, President Trump welcomed members of the Clemson University football team to the White House to celebrate their victory over the University of Alabama’s Crimson Tide in the national championship. The team and Clemson staff were greeted with a massive feast comprised completely of pre-packaged food from Burger King, Wendy’s, and Trump’s all-time favorite restaurant, McDonald’s.

The feast, as it were, was the ultimate expression of Trump’s time in Washington, and of the ongoing government shutdown, which put the White House kitchen out of commission, hence the fast food feast. As the Washington Post reported, one Clemson player could at one point be overheard saying, “I thought it was a joke.” Here’s a ranking, from “a little depressing” to “extremely sad,” of the most epic emotional meal in modern political history.

No. 6

If you’d asked me at his inauguration what Trump would have achieved two years into his presidency, “Shutting down the government and spending all the money on fast food and gold” would probably have been my answer.

[Scurrilous]

13. "...fast food and gold."

[2naSalit]

20. Nails it!

[ProudLib72]

4. I would choose Wendy's over McD's or Burper King

Just saying for future reference in case he's paying attention.

[JHB]

10. I think the winning condition there would be...

...the one that's still warm.

[ProudLib72]

5. He is too stupid to even be embarrassed.

[TheBlackAdder]

29. He bought ratberders for two reasons. Less chance of being poisoned by McD Russians and he's cheap!

[IcyPeas]

6. Tables and chairs?

Or did they only have those tall tables as seen in the pic?

Coke? Pepsi? What was to drink or did they use the White House's vending machine?

[gratuitous]

7. Maybe Trump let them use his personal "Bring me a Diet Coke" button?

Damn, but he looks proud of this spread, doesn't he?

[2naSalit]

22. I don't know which is worse

that he did this or that he's so proud of himself for thinking of it.

[AwakeAtLast]

...spoken volumes.

[skypilot]

14. Unless there is a photo out there that I missed...

That's what ye need to know about Trump: There is absolutely no bottom. No matter how bad Trump is, he can ALWAYS get worse.

[UpInArms]

Why don’t we have a huge “I am so embarrassed “ emoji?

[LakeSuperiorView]

[cynatnite]

24. That is fucking disgraceful...

I'm a fan of fast food, but if I'm going to invite national champions to my house, I'm pretty sure I could come up with something much better and more deserving than cold burgers wrapped in paper.

[thucythucy]

25. What, no borscht? Nt.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]
