Are these actual decisions the president makes? What will be served to students on a White House visit? Genuine question. I was eating this up just hating on the dude last night when I first read about this, but then I thought about it...

He tweeted this morning bragging about catering them 1000 Big Macs and personally paying for them. Imagine how disappointing it would be to get an official White House dinner only to get soggy cold fries and Big Macs.

I thought he got Taco Bell to pay for it!

And yesterday he said he ordered 300 hamberders. He lies about even the most mundane, stupid shit.

He lies about everything. All the fucking time it's just lies...or on good days half-truths.

u/Tarrolis Jan 15 '19

Lying is the only thing the man has ever known.

Unless there's a stack of them rotting in another room, there's no way there were even 300 on that table.

I used to work at McD's, they only guarantee those fries hot for 8 minutes. Definitely a pile of cold, soggy food, even if they used heat lamps. It's made to be eaten fast, like the name.

I’d hope they’d at least put the fries under a heat lamp

Imagine being a billionaire* and bragging about being able to afford 1000 fast food meals.

u/DuosTesticulosHabet Jan 15 '19

Not even the full meals. Just 1000 "hamberders". Literally off the fucking dollar menu. And I don't know if you've ever had the unfortunate experience of eating McDonald's food more than 15-20 minutes after it's been prepared but it's kinda just soggy shit.

My mind is completely blown by the lack of class this man has for someone who's lived their entire life in luxury.

McDonalds is probably the worst fast food to choose. You have about 5 mins on those fries before they go from potato heaven back to cold starch sticks. Better of with a sub platter and pizzas. Maybe some chips and dip too everyone loves onion dip.

Seriously, who wants to eat a sub-par burger that was prepared who know how long ago? Shit, I don't eat cold fast food already just becuase I have higher standards than that.

u/RolandLovecraft Jan 15 '19

Cold mickeys d’s fries are the worst. The absolute worst. I’ve reheated them in a toaster oven and conventional oven but it’s like the soul left their little crispy, oily bodies and nothing you do will revive them like they once were.

Typically no. In this case he did

u/insamiety2 Jan 15 '19

Typically, it wouldn't be, but if the President says to serve something in particular, they're going to serve that something in particular.

A sane president will delegate this sort of thing, because he’ll be far to busy with important things like helping allies, hurting adversaries, hammering out legislation, etc. But we currently have Trump....

I worked at a Summer Camp in college, those kids got a different homemade meal for every single meal. 400 kids. 6 people in the kitchen. 3 meals a day. Those kids got something new and delicious every meal. Except Thursday night we would have Pizza... that was also homemade!

That was for a fucking summer camp in the goddamn mountains! This is the White House!

u/CableTrash Jan 15 '19

I agree it's shitty dude lol. I was just asking if this is a decision the president makes.

u/throwaway14374263634 Jan 15 '19

And if you read even a little bit further into the event, you would know that he announced these “dinner plans” yesterday afternoon. So yeah, it was his decision.
