The White House has one of the best chefs and kitchens in the world, and this dumbass will be ordering McD's and KFC for 4 years.

The White House has one of the best chefs and kitchens in the world,

And that's why they are not going to eat any fast food, they are making ads

I hope so. Less cost to the taxpayer, and the high calorie and sodium count will send Trump to an early grave.

The taxpayer doesn't pay for his meals, actually. Came as a surprise to the Obamas they said once.

Didn't look to hard for the Obama quote, but Nancy Reagan's reaction is in that one.

I heard about the President being billed for services in an interview with Laura Bush.

[–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 27 points 14 hours ago

Oh the McD orders will be on top of everything. The kitchen will just throw away a lot more food.

Do you want President Vance? This is how you get President Vance.

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 16 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

At least that mf would be predictable.

[–] Fermion@feddit.nl 18 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Would he? I'm terrified of his ability to double down on obvious bullshit even when presented with facts directly countering his claims.

As bad as Trump is, I'm almost more concerned about the people who saw his first clown show and thought either "I have got to get in on this" or " I can use this to accomplish my goals. "

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 9 points 13 hours ago

I'd at least be fairly confident Vance wouldn't seriously suggest nuking a hurricane.

[–] mjhelto@lemm.ee 6 points 12 hours ago

In 4 years, though, I can bet Vance would leave if he lost the election. He doesn't have the spine or charisma to do any showboating and grandstanding like tRump.

There is a cockroach effect for some people when it comes to medical matters, like cancer gets them instead of the other way around.

[–] MrPoopbutt@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

I'm not sure Vance is any better.

Not sure he's any worse either. Ugh.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 23 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Hopefully the ecoli gets them all.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 1 points 44 minutes ago

Trump hates vegetables. Probably takes out the pickles and then cries about it like a little kid when Ivanka forgets to order a burger without any vegetables.

[–] Linktank 32 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

This was the exact sentiment that crossed my mind. The amount of money these dipshits have available and they're eating that crap? I don't even believe it. This HAD to be a photo op to make the idiots believe "Wow they eat what I eat" before they rolled in the burnt steak with ketchup and whatever else they actually prefer.

[–] darkpanda@lemmy.ca 29 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Nah it’s probably legit. Trump is famous for eating like trash. His usual order is reported to be two Big Macs and a Filet-o-fish, but I only see one Big Mac on his tray so maybe he’s on a diet.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 11 points 14 hours ago

He already scarfed down the others.

[–] Sabin10@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago

Trump actually loves McDonald's and eats it all the time.

Remember, this is the guy, who tried to sell steaks under his name, because "he knows steaks", and also admitted to liking them well done with ketchup.

Oh. Oh god. What the fuck. And rural Americans voted for that? That's Iike if Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel, and the pope thanked him while personally repainting the entire thing in an awful vomit-green color.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 hours ago

They are insulated from almost all facts about the fuckhead in chief.

[–] pdxfed@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

Yeah, but what about the promotional and kick back opportunities lost? You have to think about profits...

[–] eran_morad@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

the better to clog his arteries with.
