They’re gonna have so many Filet-O-Fish left over. Nobody eats those unless it’s a religious holiday.

I eat them, but only if I order 2 different burgers

That being said, after 5 mins, of sitting there going soggy , those burgers will make the whole room smell and taste like fart.

As if there aren’t already enough disincentives to be stuck with Trump for half an hour and listen to him talk about himself.

Back when I still ate there (McDonald’s, not the white house lol) the fish was all I ate. I know it’s pointless to debate taste, but I don’t know how anyone can stomach their beef. At least not sober, which was my excuse haha

I never understood why they’d always advertise Filet-O-Fish in March. I figured that there was a lot of extra fish so they could sell more of them or something. Then I asked someone with ash smeared on their forehead on a random Wednesday and they explained it to me.

I don’t like McDonald’s but this was probably the least offensive and most quintessentially American thing he ever did (other than getting shot at lol). If he was just a no taste bumpkin with a good heart it would be fine, but he ain’t got no heart.

Aside from the multiple news sources reporting that he was hit by glass fragments from the teleprompter, the wound is pretty obviously not from a bullet. An intact bullet would have caused much more damage, which would have taken much longer to heal.

Edit: I’m not linking to any articles because I have no idea what news sources you’re going to claim are “fake news”. The information is out there if you want to find it, and plenty of information claiming “he took a bullet for his country” if you don’t.

He only did it because he forced the government into a lockdown over his wall, and legally couldn’t pay any of the staff’s chefs

That was so shitty of him. You win the ultimate athletic achievement in your sport, you get invited to the White House expecting a lavish state dinner, and the asshole in charge says, “here’s your cold Big Macs. Enjoy. Oh, you don’t like Big Macs? Don’t worry, we also have Burger King!”

And his “defense” of that was that he bought it all himself. The guy who claims to be so rich that he’s richer than the richest rich who ever riched bragged about paying a few hundred bucks for fast food when he hosted Superbowl winners. And it was cold.

I enjoy how thrilled he looks about the selection. He’s like an 8-year-old throwing a birthday party. “You guys! Look what my mom got us for lunch!!!”

I’m only surprised it wasn’t all Happy Meals.

“I have a very good brain. My Uncle went to MIT. Good genes, very smart. So when I say Happy Meals are the best food you can get, you know it is! Trust me, folks. You get a little toy inside. A little plastic toy. Sometimes it’s a car, folks, but sometimes, if you’re a girl, it’s a little dolly. A little dolly, folks. I always get the car unless it’s a Disney toy. We love Lilo and Stitch, don’t we, folks?”

the photo is a perfect example of expectation vs. reality of his whole ‘presidency’-- decent food vs mountains of garbage that might have been edible when it was prepared 4-8 hours ago, but whose flavor now can’t even be covered up by the 2400mg of salt in each bite. and of course he’s standing back there with his stupid shit-eating grin as if he’s done a huge favor for someone, which no one who ever lived could have done better

Everyone with a brain knew his presidency would be shit. He is the worst president that has ever existed in my entire life, by several orders of magnitude. He’s officially the 4th worst president in the history of the United States.

Which is just another of his lies. He was probably paid by McDonald’s for this advertising.

Has to be noted that the White house chef and the rest of the government employees were furloughed due to Govt shutdown. Still shit.

I feel like Kamala would whip up a full course meal herself before stooping to cold fast food. By all accounts she’s a great cook, and she grows her own peppers.

Too bad the president at the time wasn’t a guy who always bragged about how rich he was, a guy who had a hotel just down the street with a bunch of high-paid chefs that weren’t just reheating Whopper patties.

GOP in Congress.

The one time the Dems shut down the government it was a legalism that was quickly repaired.

GOPs get elected and then mess up the government they are suppsoed to be running.

This is a perfect example of being completely right to be critical but for the wrong reason and the real reason is way worse.

Trumps ineptitude led to the white house staff being out of work without pay which had much larger real world consequences than some ball players eating a shitty meal.

How many of those furloughed workers kids missed meals entirely because of trumps fuck up? But there was no photo op at those kitchen tables.
