Remember when you are clipping coupons and stretching your budget at the grocery store

Remember when you are clipping coupons and stretching your budget at the grocery store, that Trump has your tax dollars paying for dinner parties on his rose garden patio.



Trump hosts White House dinner for GOP lawmakers at paved space he dubbed ‘Rose Garden Club’

...next we'll see the vampy, costumed bootlickers that glom around Trump at at Mar a Lago like he's their king, stuffing their faces at the White House clubhouse with taxpayer-provided gourmet food and liquor.

We pay for the crimes to be committed.
And will pay for the repair.

Iceberg lettuce, tomato, chives, thousand island dressing and a cracker!

That whole menu is surprisingly pedestrian - boring salad, roast chicken, potato croquettes, chocolate cake, … Can’t they do better than that?

Trumpettes…

pasta primavera, probably the least original choice they could have made - the whole menu is a throwback to the 1980s.

That dish had a very short shelf-life.
I actually had a very good one back in the 70s, but it never made me think "Ooh, I've got to have that again."
I'm guessing I'm a tiny sliver of a large population of those that thought that way.

I think he lost a bunch of WH kitchen staff during his first go-round.
