Trump fails to eat anything prepared in India

[left-of-center2012]

Donald Trump and his entourage reportedly failed to eat a single item of a special vegetarian feast prepared for him during his trip to India. The American president and his wife, Melania, were presented with the menu during their visit to Gandhi Ashram in Ahmedabad.

In an effort to please the famously carnivorous tastes of the president, the chef — a well-known award-winning chef called Suresh Khanna — adapted a number of famous Indian delicacies to make them more recognisable for their guests and even included more familiar items such as chocolate-chip cookies and apple pie. But neither Mr Trump nor the First Lady touched anything from the special high tea menu.

Mr Trump is infamous for enjoying a classically American diet, featuring cheeseburgers, KFC, extremely well-done steak with ketchup, Diet Coke, and ice cream among his favourite dishes. Many commentators wondered how he would fare during his two-day trip to India, whose population includes more than a billion Hindus who revere the cow as sacred and about 500 million vegetarians.

Thankfully for Mr Trump, later during his visit he stayed at a luxury hotel in New Delhi, where the presidential suite had been amply stocked with Diet Coke and cherry vanilla ice cream in advance of his arrival. The Indian newspaper Kerala Kaumudi reported the hotel had also provided the delegation with their own private chef who could prepare “any kind of cuisine or food they want”.

1. The Ugliest American.

What a dick.
And she's a fucking piece of work too.

[RKP5637]

10. K&R !!!!! n/t

[Joinfortmill]

30. Agree

She doesn't get nearly as much attention for being just as ignorant and insulting as he is.

[SergeStorms]

85. In a normal administration she would....

but in the Trump shit-show she's hardly a blip on the radar screen. If any Democratic first lady did as little as Malaria, right-wing loudmouths would be apoplectic.

[zentrum]

97. Wonder if it's a form of

....racism.

[SergeStorms]

124. Racism?

Please elucidate, I'm not quite sure what you mean by that. I think it's more of a class (of which they have none) power-play on their parts. The Trumps don't think their doody stinks, but they're OH, SO WRONG!

[zentrum]

150. Yes, pondered the word...

...."racism" before using it.

But when I considered the way he talks about Latinos, Muslims; his policies that hurt POC and his comment about non-specified "s**thole counties"---it seemed like it likely was a form his racism.

Not to mention his horrible birtherism and his obsession with Obama.

Indians often have darker skins than his preferred blonde Christian Anglos. They might evoke his unconscious (conscious?) bias against others who are too Other for him to agree to eat their food.

Wasn't his father KKK connected? I just think the racism runs very deep with Trump. Yes, but for sure a power-play too.

He's shamed us to the entire world.

[SergeStorms]

155. Oh, OK.

And you're correct, racism and the Trumps are old acquaintances, and it just seems to get worse every generation.

Thanks for the reply.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

105. Wow. Your reply title is exactly what I was going to post!

The Ugliest American.

The rest you wrote, I didn't plan on posting, but agree with 100%.

I can't imagine despising a person more than I despise this anti-intellectual, moronic, vulgar, egomaniacal sadist pig except perhaps for the similarly endowed assholes of America who put him in perhaps the most powerful office in the world will and continue to support him no matter what.

[riversedge]

108. well said

[Karadeniz]

2. That is soooo rude! Who taught manners to this clod? Not my parents!

[2naSalit]

61. Manners? They don't have any manners. ...nt

[Grokenstein]

87. "Manners are for the little people."

[jls4561]

92. But not for people with tiny hands

[BusyBeingBest]

3. Fucking rude. As always.

[Sanity Claws]

4. How rude!

Why didn't Malaria eat? I doubt that she eats the same toddler-type food that Drumpf does.

[scarletlib]

5. What an insult to the Indian People.

[riversedge]

109. once again, Trump makes a Fool of himself and USA loses respect.

[hlthe2b]

6. If the many neurologists speculating on his dementia are right, he may be having trouble swallowing

and/or mastication, and thus unwilling to eat anything in public--his well-known disdain for healthy food aside. We've certainly seen some evidence of this with his tongue thrusts and occasional body jerking recently, so? I've certainly not seen photos of him eating at public events in a couple of years or more. And the famous two-handed water glass photo was about two years ago as well.

[renate]

27. This point needs more attention

There can be no other valid excuse, even for someone as lacking in class as Donald Trump, for an insult as grave as this one.

Particularly in India, where hospitality is such an important part of the culture.

[Grasswire2]

50. germophobia

He's always been that.

No staff is allowed to touch his personal hygiene items, either. Not toothbrush, not even the sheets. He strips his own bed.

[Frustratedlady]

39. Well, at least the rest of the family and entourage could partake of a few bites.

I don't excuse Trump at all. He has so many hang-ups/medical issues probably connected to the way he has eaten for years. If he wanted this job so much, he should at least make an effort to accept his hosts' efforts to serve and appear pleased. Not all capitols serve McDonald's cheeseburgers to their guests.

[irisblue]

44. When he was with the troops in theater

He commented he only ate done mashed potatoes

Snip--"And I was all set to go, and I had some of the mashed potatoes and I had a bite of mashed potatoes. " More at source

96. I think he's always moved

.....like this. It's performance shtick that's become a habit.

[Maru Kitteh]

111. Oh Jeebus. I don't deny a decline but it's NOWHERE

near that advanced.

[hlthe2b]

116. Are you a neurologist?

early on, symptoms may be quite subtle but sufficient to cause concern and embarrassment over seemingly "messy" eating especially with certain foods.

This isn't limited to neurological conditions or dementia perse' as even patients with advanced gastric reflux or hiatal hernia not infrequently experience difficulty swallowing, especially with meat and similar foods and thus become less social around actually-- eating especially in public.

[Historic NY]

138. But he manages steak......

KFC and McDonalds.

[hlthe2b]

140. When is the last time you SAW him eat steaak, KFC & MCD's in PUBLIC. That's the point

Two or closer to three years.

[area51]

151. +1 n/t

[left-of-center2012]

7. How insulting to the people of India

Trump visits, but won't eat their food.

[Botany]

21. You would think that he could have eaten some tandoori rice & naan?

Both of which are very good. God that mother fucker is an embarrassment.

[Botany]

8. A diet of cheeseburgers, KFC, extremely well-done steak, Diet Coke, and ice cream.

Please keep it up Donny.

[SunSeeker]

16. When is that shithead going to stroke out on those cheeseburgers?

He doesn't smoke or drink, so I guess the bad diet is just making him fat but not killing him.

[Botany]

24. His day is coming and soon.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=13012273

A very fat Trump w/Gandhi's spring wheel.

[smirkymonkey]

112. But he does take massive amounts of drugs and has for years.

That has to be taking a toll.

[SunSeeker]

118. Not fast enough.

[Aristus]

62. Pisses me off that that is referred to as "classically American food".

That's corporate fast-food shit.

"Classically American?" How about a Pennsylvanian meat and onion pasty?

A ribeye steak from Texas?

Barbeque plank salmon from the Pacific Northwest?

Tangy Mississippi pot roast?

"American" doesn't have to mean burgers, dogs, and pizza...

[mr_lebowski]

110. Louisiana Gumbo, Maine Lobster, NY/Chicago Pizza, Tex-Mex, CA Central Coast Tri-Tip

There's dozens more I'm sure.

Now I'm insulted too ...

[Ohiogal]

120. New England clam chowdah!

Maryland crab cakes!

[Retrograde]

123. Manhattan clam chowder!

Actually, these days I prefer the Rhode Island variant, which is lighter than the New England version (no cream) and uses wine or stock instead of tomatoes. New England clam chowder is good in theory, but most versions have so much flour added to thicken it that it loses the point.

Now, if we're going to talk about New England clam bakes I think we can find common ground

[underpants]

9. He thinks someone might try to poison him

Yes he is that self absorbed
Yes he deals with people who still use poison

[mnhtnbb]

13. Well, he is Pooty's puppet.

[Kid Berwyn]

114. KGB killer won't even take a document handed to him by a journalist...

...in a recorded TV interview.



That tells you something.

145. Putin is an assassin. He knows how it's done.

[PJMcK]

15. Now why would someone want to do that? (n/t)

[shelshaw]

74. He could let Melania go first

[rickyhall]

91. He needs someone to test the food first. Lindsey Graham comes to mind.

[CloudWatcher]

93. +1 poison

And it's not an unreasonable concern I think, given how much he is despised throughout the world.

[Laelth]

11. Rude!

Besides, Indian food rocks.

1.2 billion people live off of it. They can’t all be wrong.

-Laelth

[janterry]

12. so rude

n/t

[PJMcK]

14. Trump missed a remarkable opportunity!

Indian food is spectacular! It's illustrative of what a small man Trump is that he wouldn't try the local foods. His loss, as far as I'm concerned.

There are incredible foods prepared in India: Vindaloo, Curry, Madras, Masala, Bhuna and the seafood dishes are amazingly flavorful. Of course, most Indians do not eat beef but the chicken, pork and seafood delicacies are spectacular.

Trump is really such a small man. If he's afraid to try something new, how does that make him a "strong" man.

The idiot is a coward. Plus, he missed an opportunity that many of us foodies would grab in a heartbeat.

[SunSeeker]

19. Yes, I love Indian food.

One of the best parts of traveling the world is exploring new cuisine.

[Cartoonist]

40. I'm not crazy about it

But hey, prepared by a Master chef? I'll sample the buffet.

[NewJeffCT]

95. same with me

I'm not really a fan of Indian food myself, but I'd suck it up in the name of diplomacy.

Of course, Trumpsters think Donny is being a tough guy by insulting the entire country by not eating their food, and not a spoiled toddler

[Dorian Gray]

143. That Master Chef

made Broccoli and sweet corn samosas to please Trump's palate. (Which is horrifying.)

Samosas are simple foods. Trump should have been able to eat one without too much difficulty. As is.

But even with the attempt to please his palate, refusal to eat a bite.

EXTREME insult.

[JaneQPublic]

90. My favorite local restaurant is Indian cuisine.

Their lunchtime buffet is incredible.

All those healthy spices and vegetables: what's not to like?

[PJMcK]

146. Wanna meet up for lunch?

(wink)

[Codeine]

148. And so many great vegetarian dishes.

Of course, I need the heat level dialed down to a level I refer as “Extremely Caucasian”, but damn I love Indian food.

[Paladin]

17. What a complete and utter putz. (nt)

[Ohiogal]

18. A fucking embarrassing disgrace.

I wish other countries would stop trying to suck up to him.

Why couldn’t Mel at least sample something?

[smirkymonkey]

113. Seriously, as far as I know she doesn't have any major food hangups.

Why couldn't she have just had a few bites of something to be gracious and save face?

Unless of course President Dipshit thought it would have made him look bad, even though he looked bad anyway. God, they are the most vulgar, classless couple to have ever represented the United States. They make the Palins look like royalty.

But now. . . I actively LOATHE repigs. . .

38. It was one high tea menu per the article,not the entire trip.

100. Don't ruin the rants

Almost nobody here knows what high tea is and the likely menu for the occasion.

[virgogal]

106. LOL,and reading articles is soooo tiring.😀

[I_UndergroundPanther]

135. I fucking hate republicans

They are disgusting and vile,every one of them. I hope the republican party fades away fast.

But ya, being polite, he should have partaken.

I can image Trump thinking:
"I'm not eating this %$#@. Give me a fuckin' cheeseburger!"

To order some Indian take out food.

He's such an embarrassment!

Just sayin'

32. The next Wendy's spokesperson--

"Where's the Beef?!"

That would go over in India.

Indian food is delicious. They also need some lessons in manners and etiquette.

[Farmer-Rick]

34. What First Lady? Oh they mean Trump's Slovenian sex worker. I forget others think she's

an average American. She's not even like the average American sex worker or average American immigrant.

She was an escort for old rich white men, then she married her sugar daddy. Saw some nudy magazines with her having sex with women and feeling herself up in porn magazines. Clearly she was a successful sex worker. Those other women seem to be enjoying themselves.

No one cares about her, especially not her husband or the sycophants that dress up the white house staff and administration. What excuse does she have for not eating beside her normal rudeness? No one would poison her. She's window dressing. It's like poisoning the furniture. It will have no affect on the future of America or Slovenia.

[A HERETIC I AM]

103. Now, now.....

"Be best"

[malaise]

35. To be kind that is known as

NO FUCKING MANNERS! That was complete and total disrespect for their host and the chef.
Gues they had Cheetos.

[CanonRay]

36. Keep up the cheeseburger regimen

I don't want you eating anything healthy, ever. I want you to have a stroke in October.

[MineralMan]

37. On a European tour with an orchestra and choir, we performed

in Nancy, France. when we arrived at midday, and before checking into our hotel, the tour buses carrying the group stopped at a McDonalds in Nancy! Unbelievably, almost everyone trooped into the McDonalds like lemmings. i looked across the street and there was a little bar, so I went in there. Sure enough, as I expected, I could order a croque monsieur and une bière pression for less than people were paying for their "Big Mac" across the street. Why on Earth would anyone eat at McDonalds in another country?

[fierywoman]

66. I did some concerts in Paris with my orchestra from Venezia ...

all my colleagues could do was complain bitterly about not being able to find good pasta. Me? I was chowing down on any other cuisine other than Italian and stocking up on spices I couldn't find in Venice at the time: ginger, tarragon, thyme ...

[MineralMan]

121. For me, one of the greatest joys of travel is eating

the foods of the places I visit. From street vendors to fine restaurants, I want to taste the local culture though it's cuisine.

[fierywoman]

122. Absolutely!

[a la izquierda]

142. I brought students to Oaxaca in 2015.

Now if you don’t know, Oaxaca is arguably the culinary capital of Mexico. Some of THE BEST food in the world comes out of that part of Mexico.
My students whined and moaned that they couldn’t get chik-fil-a. Every day they whined.
I judged them silently.

[MineralMan]

147. Kids are notoriously skittish about eating new foods.

They often get used to the same things all the time, particularly fast food, and just aren't interested in experimenting. Sadly, that attitude hangs on for many people all their lives.

Too bad for them.

[a la izquierda]

154. Indeed. A few were brave soldiers and tried everything (even maguey worms and grasshoppers)...

the rest wanted pizza every night. It probably didn't help to see me sick; I got giardiasis in Mexico in 2007 and have had a rough go of it since then.

[left-of-center2012]

41. India puts on a big feast for Donald and Trump refuses to eat

[A HERETIC I AM]

104. Not exactly a "Feast"

This was "Hi Tea" and here's the menu;

[Norbert]

42. This is like little kids refusing to eat antthing on their plate at a get-together

and the parents go, "That's okay. We can stop at McDonald's on the way home and buy you a cheeseburger.

I could understand of the India PM had the normally spicy hot to the taste food that the native people are used to but it sounds like the PM went out of their way to accommodate their ungrateful guests. This is a slap in the face to the people of India.

[mtron32]

43. In a rare defense of Drumf

Indian food is pretty bad, the smell alone is enough for me to ban it.

[irisblue]

46. Welcome to DU mtron32

But sorry you don't like Indian foods

[LanternWaste]

47. Rare, eh?

[mtron32]

55. Indeed

I actually appreciate his brashness and total disregard for norms in an arena fraught with practiced facades. He's put on display the fragility of our system and highlights the danger of putting too much power in the hands of the executive branch. Maybe now Democrats will see the sense in establishing some limits when/if we regain power again. The president won't always be someone you like or trust.

[Ilsa]

53. It is typically very spicy, but I wouldn't call it "bad."

I would request my entree be made a little less hot, but I love most of the flavors.

[mtron32]

60. I love spice

But the smell I can't get past. My friend got in my car with his curry and I legit thought he dropped ass on the way.

[Sanity Claws]

83. There is a lot more to Indian food than curry

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

54. Indian food is spectacular. Try it some time.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

72. Actually, there are any number of different regional Indian cuisines,

and they are as different from each other as the various regional American cuisines.

I'm not particularly knowledgeable about them, but I have a nephew who is and it's always fun to go to an Indian restaurant with him.

[tenderfoot]

129. LOL

[Celerity]

134. I LOVE Indian food, sorry you feel that way, and BTW.. FUCK TRUMP

[Codeine]

149. I love Indian food but

I pretty much refuse to cook it in my house. The smell lingers for weeks.

[kskiska]

45. Brings to mind Obama sharing dinner with Anthony Bourdain in Vietnam.

No comparison.

[CottonBear]

76. That was an awesome episode: Bourdain & Obama In Vietnam.

I miss them both.

[Retrograde]

48. I like Indian food, it doesn't always like me

If I were a guest in India and someone offered me a specially prepared meal, I'd thank them and at least taste the various offerings. It's what adults do.

Darn it, now I want a masala dosa and the only place within walking distance that makes them only has them after 6.

[Buns_of_Fire]

49. El Gordo just oozes class from every pore, doesn't he? nt

[Initech]

81. Well he definitely oozes something all right!

[wryter2000]

51. What an utter disgrace

Just because the Asshole-in-Chief is a spoiled toddler doesn't mean others in his group should shun the wonderful food. Don't tell me Melania and Ivanka don't eat vegetables. This is so EFFing embarrassing.

[smirkymonkey]

117. Did ALL of them really refuse to eat the food?

That is just rude and unacceptable.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

52. That's just rude.

If your host offers you something to eat, you should at least taste it. Especially if you're the goddamn POTUS and they've gone out of their way to make something they thought you'd like. What a boor.

[Midnightwalk]

88. Trump has no class

I normally subscribe to the you should always taste some but don’t have to finish philosophy. That’s what I was taught and what I’ve told my kids. All of us are open to trying new and seemingly weird foods as a result.

There are a couple of things like Uni that I’ll avoid tasting if I can. I can manage a taste without wanting to hurl but I’ve never acquired the taste for it. That never has been an issue because others are happy there’s more for them.

If my guts are bad I’m struggling just to show up and participate. I’ve learned to be very self protective and not even taste and spit out. That does get awkward particularly in cultures where refusing is not polite. The explanation isn’t considered enough. Fortunately I don’t travel for work much anymore.

Of course none of that applies to trump. I don’t really disagree with what you wrote, I’m just giving some extra context

[livetohike]

56. Classless rude pigs. Both of them. I can't wait to have a

President and First Lady who have manners and someone who represents us with dignity.

[John Fante]

57. Low-rent asshole.

If it weren't for toe fungus, Gump would have no culture at all.

[MoonRiver]

59. They insulted their hosts. What else is new?

[nolabear]

63. I suspect it's another in a long list of phobias.

He’s one of the most frightened people I’ve ever seen, and he constantly has to be surrounded by people and things he can feel are safe. I can’t prove it but I suspect that plane is stocked with things he’s familiar with and at least convinced himself he knows where they come from.

Think about it. He has to be surrounded by family, supporters and people he can convince himself won’t hurt him because he pays them or constantly promises them something shiny. If they show the least sign of not being controllable he gets rid of them, not just because of the job they might do but because he is now afraid of them, literally.

The man is deeply paranoid.

[Runningdawg]

64. I am certain this man is never more than 1000ft from his fav foods

I bet they took out a few press seats on AF1 to put in a meat locker.

[Polybius]

65. It's rude but I get it if he's picky

One of my closet friends has a menu so limited, he can't even go to most restaurants. He would never eat at an Indian restaurant. He literally would vomit if he tried to eat it. There's no cheeseburgers, pizza, or chicken fingers on the menu.

I hammer him all the time on his pickiness, but he says he can't help it.

[JeaneRaye]

67. I wish that..

He would be given as much of his favorite foods as he wants. Since they are all very unhealthy, maybe he will drop dead of a heart attack. Just sayin..

[alp227]

68. I was almost waiting to see an Onion link...

Only to realize this was not satire.

[bluescribbler]

69. How do you insult your hosts?

You can start by refusing to taste anything they provide.

[Javaman]

70. I think the headline could have stopped with "trump fails" nt

[UT_democrat]

71. Maybe

the fat fuck will starve

[marble falls]

73. Coincidently enough, not very many Indians want a Big Mac and a Diet Coke.

[Mazeltov Cocktail]

75. Etiquette aside, protocol and breeding, manners etc.

We have children in cages, families seperated and imprisoned. His manners abroad just don't matter, I don't give a fuck, do you?

[iluvtennis]

77. No damn manners. He dishonered hos host...fking moron. nt

78. To be fair eating a vegetable might kill him

Trump is the perfect embodiment of the Seven Deadly Sins. Namely sloth and gluttony The stereotypical ugly American other countries ridicule.

80. *pretends to be shocked*

[Hassler]

82. Tubby wants a French fry.

[IronLionZion]

84. I've seen some tourists pack a suitcase or cooler full of food when traveling

trying local cuisine is a big part of the fun of traveling. At the presidential level or even at 5 star hotels they would be used to making sure to avoid using unpurified water because of the many foreign travelers. Any cooked food should be perfectly fine to eat even if tourists don't trust raw produce washed in tap water.

[SergeStorms]

89. "Classically American diet"?????

If that's a classically American diet I'm a rabid wolverine. I guess too many Americans have a diet like that, but I'd hardly call it "classic". More like artery hardening and tremendously unhealthy.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

136. It's disturbing that a percentage of

Americans that grow up never eating a vegetable.
Meat ,cheese and nutritionless carbs. It's gotta fuck up body functioning.

[AdamGG]

94. On the upside, he should have a heart attack sooner

with an all meat based diet

[SergeStorms]

125. I, and countless others....

search DU each morning with news of his passing, but alas, we're constantly disappointed. The facts that he should die quickly with a diet like that, and that he doesn't, lead me to believe there is no god.

[patphil]

98. Extremely well done steak!

Now Trump has gone too far!
A well done steak has absolutely no flavor. No wonder he uses ketchup.
It's just plain wrong!
The man has no culinary soul!

[SergeStorms]

127. No soul of any sort.

If there is a hell, and I seriously doubt it, he'll be kept in a steel cage with no air conditioning, and be fed a diet of raw meat and vegetables. It would certainly serve him right.

[patphil]

128. Actually, I'm convinced Trump is the Father of Lies, and is a high ranking Satan.

I believe the only Satan on the planet that clearly out ranks him is Putin.

[Aviation Pro]

99. Shits everywhere he goes.....

...like the fucking dog he is.

And his gold digging wife is no better.

[C_U_L8R]

101. He's terrified of getting the shits

His diaper can only hold so much

[catbyte]

102. They have Mickey D's & KFC in India. I hear their food is actually edible as opposed to the

crap they serve here. Same with 7-11, etc. Why do we get stuck with the shitty fast food? I guess it's because most Americans have no taste, sigh. Look what's "president."

[rampartc]

107. india is full of starving people

I hope this food was not wasted.

[struggle4progress]

119. "I'm worried these vegetables are deadly poisons!"

Who would guess anybody with such a paunch could be so gutless?

[Hekate]

126. How incredibly insulting the Trumps are. Classless boors. Trashy.

[Renew Deal]

130. extremely well-done steak?

why not just eat the charcoal?

[OAITW r.2.0]

131. A 4 day fast probably wouldn't kill him.

But, no way does he attempt this.

[tenderfoot]

132. Typical disrespect

from a typical asshole.

[mopinko]

133. ok, this will NEVER happen again, but

i went to india about 10 years ago. i was really looking forward to the food.
there is a thriving little india not far from me, and we ate there often, and loved it.
but when we were planning the trip, we were warned so many times about eating the food and esp drinking the water.
even our tour guides all but refused to let us sample the street food.
and after a couple days of driving around the country, it is hard not to have a sense of dread settle in on you.

not that he would get anything but safe food, etc, or that he saw any of the poverty and desperation that they pulled a curtain over.

there are a whole lot of people who will read this and say- yeah, neither would i. and they aint all thugs.

[moondust]

137. So many cowpies available,

so few Trumps to down them all.

[MFM008]

139. this from the guy
