Trump Takes Away Congress’ Annual Ribeye ‘Picnic’, Sends Steaks To…

Now, however, another piece of the humanist in President Trump is showing through, as a debate over Congress’ ineffectual work on immigration rages.

You see, today was supposed to be the annual congressional “picnic”, which is literally just a 5-star meal served in a tent to these Washington fat cats.

That’s right: cancelled. When asked why, the President gave a very blue collar answer.

As the immigration debacle looms large over the halls of Congress, President Donald Trump decided to scrap the lawmakers’ annual congressional picnic at the White House because it just didn’t feel “right.”

“I was just walking over to the Oval Office and I said, ‘You know, it doesn’t feel right to have a picnic for Congress when we’re working on doing something very important,’” Trump said Wednesday, according to Politico. “It didn’t feel exactly right to me.”

Wasting food would have only added insult to injury, so the President did what any MAGA-hat-wearing populist POTUS would do: He sent all those ridiculous ribeye steaks over to Walter Reed.

All the food will be served Friday for lunch at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, according to a report from Bloomberg News. The food will be given to patients, caregivers, and employees at the Warrior and Family Center in Bethesda, Maryland.

“All perishables donated to Walter Reed. Non perishables to be repurposed for future events,” Stephanie Grisham, spokeswoman for first lady Melania Trump, said.

Great decision! Nice little treat for those who have sacrificed much for the many, and their care givers. Barry’s thought process never worked this way.

This will be one of the impeachment charges; impeached for starving the congresscritters.

But somewhere a little Congress girl is crying over Trumps zero picnic policy.

I love this guy.

Perfect? Not by a longshot. Worth fighting for? Hell yes.

We have never had a guy in our corner like this. I hate to say this, but not even Reagan.

No justification here to insult the President.

In other words, simply another bribe of the DC swamp fat cats.

Trump didn’t want to see or entertain the smarmy bastards anyway.

Of course this type of thing is just the tip of the iceberg of all the “favors” the swamp bastards get.
