We are more than two years into the Trump presidency, and his opponents still haven’t figured out that criticizing absolutely everything he says and does actually doesn't turn people against him. You’d think the president's critics in politics and news media would understand by now that nitpicking him over silly issues makes them look small and petty, accomplishing the exact opposite of attracting converts.
Yes, the White House served burgers, chicken sandwiches, chicken nuggets, salad, pizza, and french fries this week to the 2018 national college football champions. Yes, Trump bragged about paying to feed the Clemson Tigers out of pocket (there’s a shutdown, you know). Yes, the president exaggerated in his usual hyperbolic way about the amount of McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Domino's, and Burger King served this week and how much it cost him.
Maybe burgers and pizza are not the sort of spread one would expect from the White House. But the Clemson players appeared to appreciate it, and everyone seemed happy. So, who cares, really? The most this incident deserves is maybe an eye roll. Maybe.
But this is the era of Trump, and most of his critics in the news media are nuts, so of course the Clemson dinner has sparked a serious, mostly humorless response from reporters and pundits.

And all because the White House served burgers. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
President Trump has delineated the craziness of the Left to America in its entirety.
And he used a deadly weapon to do so:
The anti-left, non vegetarian , cholesterol ridden hamburger!
Political Correctness and Moosehell Obama are completely obliterated.
Silver serving platters
Excellent table layout
Beautiful presentation
White House China plates
Candles in lovely candleabras
BUT-—Clemson players got to be in the White House under staff reduction situation-—and they KNOW that Trump paid for their meal out of his own pocket.....
While it may have been more informal, I am sure they will still remember this for the rest of their lives.
When they win the Championship again next year, perhaps it will be a more formal meal, but Trump knows how to switch gears when he has to.
At least this team was GRATEFUL to be there-—which is more than I can say for the PRO teams who refuse to go.
Did Obama EVER pay for a meal out his own pocket?
WHOOOPS-—GRIFTERS NEVER DO THAT!!!!
Kasich ???
LOL! Oh, there have been many offenders over the years who’ve been dumb enough to think that informal rule doesn’t apply to him or her. :-)
That guy looks pretty happy with two Big Macs on his plate.
IF Obama had done something like this the press would have praised him for bringing in authentic American food men like this would love.
I LOVE THIS PRESIDENT!! Gold candleabras, and the very things the guys would have been wishing for, had it been pheasant under glass instead. I hope he does this more often.
However, it is unlikely Barky would have done it in the first place and especially if he had to pay for it himself.
Just ask Johnny Kasich.
Years after the campaign, he’s still getting grief over those pics of him talking with his mouth full of dry pizza.
Hebrew National Hot Dogs used to come in a pack of Seven!
Talk about confusing.
hamburger patties at my market come in 4s. Buns in 6-8.
Yes indeed!
Taxpayer money.
Big Macs on White House China. I love it!
