This is just tacky. McDonald's is a treat mainly for kids. It is where you go when you on a road trip and in a hurry. It is not food to be served at the White House.

And serving it up cold like that? That just makes it worse.

My mother is a narcissist, and I remember once when she played an "Il Divo" CD in the car and asked me if I liked them... I said, "No"... And her reaction was a childlike total disbelief that I didn't. She couldn't comprehend that her son had an independent mind and will.

The only reason I can fathom that Trump thought fast food was a good idea, is that he simply can't comprehend what other humans would hope and expect to eat upon visiting the White House for the first time.

What a fuck stick

BTW Clemson football players eat really well.

Clemson this year opened a $55 million football-only building featuring a dining hall where, once everything is up and running for the defending national champions, a player's biometric readings will help determine his recommended diet for the day. The player will put his thumb on a scanner and step on a scale, and his personal menu will be produced based on the information gleaned from the readings.

Paul Harrington, Clemson's director of football nutrition, said he and his staff meet with every player to set nutrition goals. Players are weighed before and after practice and closely monitored. Chef Donna McCain will fix individual meals for a player if it helps him stay on track.
