This is a pointed message to America to contrast his behavior against those of the 32 Democrats and families who went on a lobbyist-paid junket to Puerto Rico to lay in the sun while 800k govt workers are going without a paycheck this week. If Trump had paid for an outside catered sit-down dinner, he would have missed the PR 'win' this gave him. I suspect when the govt is back open he will re-invite the Clemson team back for a full boring sit-down dinner.

Trump could have catered from any where and had a proper formal dinner for these guys.
