He might be able to, there’s precedent. I stumbled on this a few days ago, the case of a woman that was the driver in a car accident that killed her husband. In an attempt to receive a payout from the insurance company, the woman, acting in the capacity as executor of her husband’s estate, sued herself, the woman who was behind the wheel of the car. I have not been able to find out if she won…or lost, but an appellate court confirmed her right to bring the case. > **[Utah Supreme Court Affirms a Woman’s Right to Sue Herself](https://www.loweringthebar.net/2017/02/utah-woman-right-to-sue-self.html)** > > Did Bagley win Bagley v.

I think the way it works is that he orders 20 big macs, eats two himself and then proclaims to all around him, “If any of you want one feel free”, then those who partake are sent a $20/burger catering bill the next day. ---

It’s pretty well known he’s paranoid about his food. Apparently it is not uncommon for him to order several and pick one at random in case somebody spits in one. Most people would choose a sensible strategy to avoid this, like not eating McDonald’s anymore or having your food prepared in house or something, but you gotta admit that trying to bulldoze your way through by ordering 100 burgers and wasting most of them is a very Trump way of approaching the problem ---

The full-on Trump approach is to order 100, pay for 10, then announce that you bought lunch for 1000 people. ---

> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > ISTR reading years ago that he orders from McDonald’s because it’s less likely his food will have been tampered with. Yeah, but did he not trust the White House kitchen? But he trusts and likes Putin that regularly has people thrown out of windows. Trump is a nutcase. I guess when the majority or the world despises you, you go for something random for your food. ---

> [@Shoeless](#): > > How does he know they didn’t spit on all of them? Preparers who hate Trump would be less likely to want to tamper with all the food when some of it might end up being given to an innocent bystander. I think the military call that collateral damage. ---

Yeah, and Trump has the tastes of a 5 year old. Including decor. I imagine a good (bad) chef could do a reasonable approximation of a 1/4 pounder. I do wonder what his $100,000 dinners are like. Sesame seeds on the bun? Real tomato ketchup?
