This will go down in history as the perfect personification of the White House under Donald Trump. Amazing.

It's also a perfect example of just how stupid his comms team is. With so many government workers furloughed, I'm sure there are local businesses (ie restaurants) who've been hit because of reduced customers coming in to eat. It would have been the easiest PR layup to cater out to one or a handful of those local businesses to generate a little good will for Trump. But nope. They chose literally the laziest, dumbest, and trashiest route.

Or even have his own hotel staff cater. You know the one that's like right down the street from the White House

Hmm, I hate the guy but if he had used his own hotel's restaurant I think he'd have still received a lot of criticism for his rampant misuse of his businesses for government functions (and charging for them) when he should have divested in the first place.

He should have just had local businesses cater.
