He has a hotel, 2 blocks away, that has a kitchen which can easily handle events like this.
However, his hotel can’t serve him a Big Mac, so it apparently sucks.
Umm… That would have caused an even bigger stir. Trump paying his hotel and himself to feed the team.
Really, talk about sociopathic behavior. Treating White House guests in an unbelievably condescending manner while taking advantage of them to make an obscure point about a government shutdown that he himself initiated, then lying about the numbers (most news reports put the number of 'berders served as 300), as if anyone actually gives a rat’s ass. Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States. Jesus wept.
IF he paid for it out of his own pocket, as claimed, there would be no real controversy.
I’ve never been to the WH, but I understand that it’s (usually) self-sustaining. Are the security protocols involved in bringing in a catering service for an event like this perhaps a factor? ISTM that every employee on site would need to be vetted for access to the kitchen (not normally a place that visitors are permitted to visit, I imagine), at least. I also have no experience in the catering business, but I just don’t see this being as seamless as one might presume.
Of course, if the America-hating fuckstick really DOES intend to extend the shutdown for a couple of years, somebody ought to see about getting some protocols in place, just in case he wants to throw a state dinner, or something.
If I were a betting man, I’d bet that if the White House and secret service wanted to set some caterers up in a room, they could make that happen. Plus, it isn’t like the team bus showed up unannounced.
"Holy crap, darling Melania! There’s a bus full of hungry football players outside! Run to McRonalds fast!
I very much doubt a catering service would need access to the kitchen. The food is cooked off site.
Today on Twitter…
I can’t remember the last time I went to Burger King, but I will be making a point of going there now. That is just beautiful.
Dang! I’ve got some soup going in my Instant Pot, but now I have a craving for hamberders. Maybe that’s stupposed to be hamBIRDers, i.e., a chicken sandwich. Or maybe just a loser sandwich.
I wonder if visiting ambassadors and heads of state will also get hamberders?
He could always splurge and give them Happy Meals instead, with stickers of his face covering the smiles.
Was going to mention this. It is pretty rare for catering to need access to a kitchen. All we really need is a couple of tables, and we can bring those too, if needed. Ultimately, give me an empty room, and I can give you a catered meal for hundreds of people.
Well, yeh, of course – isn’t having everything needed for feeding large numbers of people without having to find the resources yourself the whole point of catering?
An aide will be detailed to remove all of the toys first, as Donnie Two-Scoops can’t risk another kid having a better one than him. He will play with them later, after Daddy Vladdy tells him he’s a good boy.
I think the most important thing about the twit-in-chief’s latest twitting is that he felt the need to state he actually paid for something. That shows real growth and a new self-awareness.
By the way, I’ve heard Micky Dee’s is going to offer a vegetarian sandwich soon. Hope they name the thing “hamberder”. The value meal option can have a salad called “covefe”. When the cashier asks “Do you want covfefe salad?”, the proper response is “Word”.
Lol, I think “bigly” is proper response in this scenario…
Nope, dat dere’s only fer nerfberders.
By the way, all hamberders come with Derping Sauce.
Derp, derp…
Nah. That wouldn’t have you ordering a word salad.
“Would you like to bigly size that?”
