Reggie Bush: Trump's fast food meal for Clemson a 'huge slap in the face' [View all]

BY ARIS FOLLEY - 01/15/19 11:33 AM EST

Former NFL star Reggie Bush called President Trump’s decision to serve the national champion Clemson University Tigers fast food during their White House visit a "huge slap in the face" and "disrespectful on so many levels."

“Just when you think you’ve seen it all, @ClemsonFB you guys deserve better you are world champs and this is the honor you receive from our nations leader!?” Reggie said in the first of a series of tweets Tuesday criticizing Trump. “This is disrespectful on so many levels, just a huge slap in the face after that kind of performance! SMH!”

Bush said in another that if he resided in Washington, he “would have taken that whole team to dinner at a nice restaurant after seeing this!”

“What a joke!” he added.
