Donald Trump's Dinner Menu For Xi Jinping Misrepresenting the American Flag

by Lindsey Ellefson | 10:09 am, April 12th, 2017

Donald Trump needs to fire every copy editor and graphic designer who comes near him and his White House.

His campaign materials often featured misspellings, but hey, that happens when you’re running from city to city, right? The problem followed him right into his presidency, though, with huge mistakes on the official inaugural crowd photo, which showed the wrong date, and his official portrait, which had a glaring grammatical error. His Department of Education followed that up with a tweet that misspelled W. E. B. Du Bois‘s name.

Now, we’re here. Look at this menu that is being offered Chinese President Xi Jinping.




The Washington Post‘s Joe Heim counted 56 stars on the flag, and though Mediaite only counts 55, the fact still remains that there are only 50 stars on the flag in real life because there are only 50 states.

Putin and Trump have an agreement 6 new states for each of them.

Putin is getting Ukraine, three Balkans, and two others.

We are getting Cuba, Bermuda, Newfoundland, and Nova Scotia and two others.

He didn't call the Chinese Premier "President Eleven", as Hatrack suggested earlier.
