A well made meatloaf is very tasty. I’m curious how the White House chefs would make one. I bet it is very good. ---

You have to be older than 50 to know who Meatloaf is. Hey! I resemble that remark. I’m a vegetarian teetotaler. If someone told me I had to try the meatloaf with a beer or liver, fava beans and a nice Chianti, I would tell them to get out of my face. Focusing on other people’s diets is beyond rude. ---

Yeah, it’s hard to believe he’s ever had to be forced to eat anything. _I ate watercresses, And other such messes, And pushed all my favorites aside. I said to the caterers, “No more mashed potaterers, Just baked, and hash browned, and french fried.”_ - Allan Sherman ---

It sounds like a useful ploy by Trump to test the loyalty and subservience of his underlings, to find out which of them would be amenable to carrying out his special orders at some future time. ---
