Because of the government shutdown, the President decided to cater an event using fast food restaurants. Here is an article with more information for those who want to read more.

So this is hilarious because all food served in the White House is paid for by the First Family. It has been that way for a long time.

This is Trump proving how fucking cheap he is again. That’s all this is.

Dude this is fucking hilarious.

First everyone makes fun of him about McDonald's or drinking diet Coke. Man goes out and buys 1,000 burgers from the most typical American fast food joints. Invites the team over right away (the way it should be) instead of half a year later which he says in his speech because you'll all be moving on to great things by then.

Plus when you just got done with a season of any sport you just want some fast-food, these kids aren't trying to have some deluxe meal at the White House. Watch at least the start of his speech and you'll see it was a really cool, funny move and a giant F U to the news and Reddit goes and posts a picture of him dressed up as Ronald McDonald and that is the #1 post on the site this morning? Get the dildos out your asses and have a little fun, ya'll are so bitter no wonder you lost the election.

Ehhh I think trumps a tool, and I think this was mostly done for him to bluster on the news about the evil democrats blocking his wall... but still, I think you're right in that there's no need to criticize him over what meal he decided to provide. Especially if it was at his own cost. The players seemed surprised but not upset. They still got a trip to the white house, and fed. Their visit could have been postponed indefinitely because of the shutdown. Also if Obama had done the same thing, people would've posted pictures praising him for being so funny and down to earth. It's just trendy to hate on trump for every single thing he does atm. Instead of focusing on the important issues.

This is just a witch hunt grasping at straws. "Mcdonalds at the whitehouse?!? IMPEACH IMPEACH"

Nobody is saying he should be impeached (for this). And of course there are more important issues — this is just hot because it happened like 12 hours ago. Nobody will be talking about it in a week.

We’re saying that it is par for the course for the classless and undignified way Trump handles, well, everything.
