Burgers by candlelight: Trump lays out fast food for college football champs

I would be excited just to be there. I sure as hell wouldn't be an ingrate and bitch about the hospitality.

Meh, I would never support a blatant racist like Trump, or his buddy Steve King.

What's "perfect" about cheap fast food on siver platters? (other than as a metaphor for Trump himself) Are you suggesting that his guests were not worthy of the best?

Greetings, Manc Skipper. :2wave:

I don't see things the way you do I guess, but I will try to explain why I thought fast food served on silver platters was "perfect" in several ways: 1) they were given the kind of food they probably would have ordered themselves - but most hosts probably would not have considered - which indicates an awareness of food choices by age groups, (a 21-year-old is probably going to order several large burgers with everything, not a seafood dinner), and 2) serving it on silver platters was a great way to show respect for their victory. The White House does have expensive china that could have been used, but silver platters were definitely unique, IMO, and made an important non-verbal statement to the players. I don't think they will ever forget this White House event..... :thumbs:

ROTFLOL... who says how one eats pizza? ROTFLOL... The Leftist Pizza Nazi’s? ROTFLOL...

You claim the man has no imagination, and in the first paragraph lambast him for eating outside the box... ie. ... using creativity, not following NYPNN (NY Pizza Nazi Norms) when consuming his slices...

You see your contradiction now? ROTFLOL...

You folks are hilarious.

You are obviously easily entertained. Do not hurt your back to badly doing the bends there trying to find a "contradiction"

You contradicting yourself was easy to see... and I howled your not realizing it, as it is so blatant.

JMR said:
Seems you need to flee the country in order to avoid the fact that Trump, a native New Yorker, showing the sites of New York to Sarah Palin, introduced her to chain pizza rather than knowing where he could easily get the real thing. He also piled his two slices on top of each other and cut in with knife and fork. In New York this is not how it's done. Period. Now maybe he could have flown her to Naples, and bought her an exquisite thin thin crust pizza that could not be lifted, and you could point out that this was cool. But he didn't do that.

Which doesn't matter in the least except to point out how little imagination the man has. If he "had" to travel to Naples he'd send someone to McDonald's for him.

PS. Following NYC pizza eating rules... as you claim there are, is not being imaginative... especially when the NYC Pizza Eating Police, like yourself are observing every move.

Breaking those rules, going outside-the-box, and doing so in a manner which upsets the NYC Pizza Eating Police, like yourself... is imaginative... creative.

ROTFLOL...

[h=3]Clemson player defends Trump, fast food at White House[/h]

1 day ago - The Clemson Tigers were honored by President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday evening for winning the College Football Playoff National Championship. ... That's why President Trump opted for a less conventional option — fast food from places like McDonald's and Wendy's.

. . . After seeing some of the jokes that were being made at Trump's expense, Clemson tight end Cole Renfrow took to Twitter to defend the President and his choice of food.
"Everyone is hating on Donald Trump serving us Fast food at the White House but we enjoyed it," Renfrow tweeted. "We don’t get to eat fast food that often and to have a buffet of it in the White House?!? Nobody else can say they’ve experienced that. It was a blessing, keep doing you Trump."
Renfrow wasn't the only that complimented the experience. Clemson's player development coach, Miguel Chavis, also raved about the chance to eat fast food in the White House to celebrate a national championship.
"Proud to be an American and a member of the National Championship football team, the Clemson University Tigers today," Chavis said in a Facebook post. "I can’t believe this boy from Fayetteville, NC got to eat McDonald’s with his wife and some of his closest friends in the White House. There’s enough hate and division in the world, especially when it comes to politics. The team loved it. The families loved it, and everyone was so hospitable and welcoming in the White House."
As much as the dinner was lambasted on social media, the college kids between the ages of 18 and 22 didn't seem to mind filling themselves full of fast food for an evening.

Obama would have served tofu and Brussel sprouts, giving everyone the runs. Liberals are dumb as ****, and don't know what they're talking about.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump laid out a White House feast fit for a government shutdown on Monday: silver platters heaped high with McDonald’s quarter pounders and the red-and-white burger wrappers of Wendy’s.

White House chefs normally would serve much fancier fare underneath the stern gaze of the portrait of Abraham Lincoln in the State Dining Room. But they are furloughed, staying home without paychecks as Trump fights with Congress over funding the federal government.
===============================================
Personally if I was a champion athlete invited to the WH for dinner, I wouldn't be looking forward to fast food.

Actually you likely would under their circumstances. Most college athletes get a balanced high calorie diet served on practice days and game days, however when they get the common low portion elitist type meals at White House or other high society social events, they head for a fast food or pizza joint as soon as they can afterwards. If you had closely watched the you tube videos on the trip to the White House, you would have seen those Clemson players putting two, three and in some cases, even four Big Mac's or the equivalent on their plate. Those young athletes have a fast metabolism and need much more protein and carbohydrates.

If you want to pig out on good burgers, go Five Guys or even Wendy's...but Big Macs and Filet O'Fish?!?

I would take Five Guys and Wendy's over McDonalds any day.

Hmmm ... if they didn't feel tainted by being in the White House with a that steaming pile of orange excrement, and if they didn't feel bad about being there partying with the architect of the shutdown when hundreds of thousands were suffering from the shutdown, then maybe they were the kind to be amused by the unusual feast and happy to have a story to tell.

So this is only about Trump to you, huh?

I seem to remember the rabid right foaming at the mouth for weeks because the Obamas ordered deep dish pizza.

Nah...... The right was just mocking Michelle Obama for ordering Pizza and massive amounts of fried chicken while she influenced public schools to serve sparse so-called healthy meals.

Five Guys is the ****.

I always feel instantly guilty after eating at Five Guys. It is good - but just not that great that it was worth the caloric intake and fat.

Of course, I feel guilty after partaking of lots of things these days that just did not seem to be worth it.

I went to Catholic school for twelve years. Telling me to have no guilt is like telling the sun to orbit the earth.

I went to Catholic School for four years and I am still a baptized catholic. While I would certainly not want to eat fast food every day, I don't see anything in the catholic faith that would motivate feelings of guilt over eating fast food on occasion.

You're not well versed in the dietary habits of world class college athletes, are you? I can assure you their diet does not consist of fast food on a frequent basis. All division 1 schools have separate dining facilities and nutritionists on staff specifically for the unique needs of their athletes.

While the rest of the student body may gorge on pizza and burgers, elite athletes do not.

Never said that fast food was training table fare for elite athletes. Pay attention. What I did say was these items are familiar food for young people that age.
