Yes. Where Trump is concerned ...

Linus: You know how it is, Charlie Brown. You win some and you lose some.

Charlie: Sigh. Wouldn’t it be nice?

Escargot, lobster, eels, and oysters, perhaps? I.e., snails, sea cockroaches, and other slimy critters? Some horse meat? Gourmet is overrated.

I fully support President Trump feeding the Clemson football team Cheeseburgers and French Fries. In fact I think he should do it 2 - 3 times per week....

Are reporters really such idiots, to do a fact check on an off hand statement that they had a mile-high stack of burgers?

Yes, when it comes to President Trump, they are.

This is how a tongue-in-cheek statement during a campaign rally (“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,”) turns into "Trump is colluding with Russia to hack Hillary!"

The media gets smacked down and made to look foolish, then they wipe the egg off and get back up and do it again. They clearly don’t give a darn about credibility, their sole focus is to spew venomous anti-Trump hate speech and submit fake news on a daily basis. Because that’s what activists do, we keep thinking they are journalists, thy are not.

BRAVO FOR THAT PLAYER!

Trump is a master at this kind of optics. He got a 2-fer out of this.

He managed to please his invited guests with the food he served them and pissed off the media at the same time.

Trump at his best.

“The media are such idiots sometimes.”

Sometimes?

Huh, well, they are propagandists always.

Trump’s “first and second lady making salads” quip was NO accident. He knows how to push mediatard buttons!

I happened to catch Rush last week, and he said pretty much the same thing...Rush said President Trump loves to "goose" the media because he completely understands how little it takes to get them in a tizzy. He constantly goads them into illustrating their stupidity.

In the midst of the gloom-and-doom, dreaded Government Shutdown, Trump yells “Squirrel!” and gets them all chasing after stories about serving Big Macs to the Clemson Tigers.

The guy is a friggin’ genius.

His guests were big, college-age footballer players who eat like horses.

This fast food meal was right up their alley. Trump's instincts were spot-on.

Besides it doesn't matter what you would have preferred. You weren't invited. :-)

:: Imagine sitting with this President having a good visit, while munching on... ::

Cheetos! Hell, I’d even bring them.
And, a nice fine china bowl to put them in.
Wanna bet Trump (may re-election be upon him) would grab a handful, too?

I am hardly a football player..but I did have the pleasure once of eating with both teams playing in the Rose Bowl once. There is a pre-game tradition known as the “Beef Bowl.” Unlimited prime rib courtesy of Lawry’s in Beverly Hills. :)

Don’t tempt DJT. He is the kind of guy that would have them over to the White House a couple of times a week, if for nothing more than to just drive the media crazy.

What strikes me is that the fast food chains aren’t striking back in any way shape or form, their product is being mocked and trashed. How many tens of millions of voters eat McD’s, BK, Dominoe’s etcetera on a weekly basis and enjoy it? This is going to backfire, they just can’t help their elitist selves.

I saw some leftist calling Trump cheap, that he could have had them all over to his hotel for dinner, I replied oh yeah then you people would be screaming nonsense about the emoluments clause.
