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 guarantee Trump finagled the taxpayer into paying to stuff his greasy pedo face and all of his chomo friends

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

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.

At least that mf would be predictable.

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. "

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

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.

I'm not sure Vance is any better.

Not sure he's any worse either. Ugh.
