trump asked WH cooks to copy McDonalds items

Not only do we learn that Trump’s preferred burger is a Quarter Pounder with cheese, we also find he enjoys it with the rather youthful preferences of extra ketchup and no pickles.

It turns out that the White House kitchen was asked to replicate both the burger and a fried apple pie. Politico’s Annie Karni writes that staff attempts “couldn’t match the satisfaction” of the McDonald’s originals — perhaps because White House chefs work with higher-grade ingredients.

What would a 5 year old if he were President? This!

[brewens]

1. He has absolutely no respect for anything. Especially himself. If her wants that he should

just have McDonalds put a mini one in like they do at schools that are dumb enough to let them in. Asking excellent chefs to do that!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. That slob has access to the finest cooks in the country

and he sends out for McDonalds' crap. He can buy cheap, greasy hamburgers but he can't buy class.

[GP6971]

9. So true about the class

If McDonalds was smart they would open a franchise on the white house grounds. But then again, they may be smart by not opening one seeing he may not be there that long. I know...just hoping.

[bdamomma]

17. hey

his arteries must be atrocious, let him keep eating that junk.

[thegoose]

28. Just look at that fat ass and body

You know his colon is packed with grease.

Ewww... Sorry, I just grossed myself out.

[Takket]

3. i wonder what his favorite happy meal toy is...............

[Kleveland]

6. He keeps it in his pants.

With special sauce.

[Takket]

15. .

[Ilsa]

16. I'm so grossed out.

But I laughed. The other poster really set you up nicely for that!

[moriah]

25. DUzy!

And...

[dalton99a]

4. They should strive to supersize his every desire when it comes to fats and calories

[Hekate]

7. I think you mean gratify his every desire. I concur, by the way.

[Initech]

5. He does have something in common with Richmond Valentine from the movie "Kingsman".

[brush]

8. Gourmet chefs ready to prepare fine dining for him and he wants fast food.

No refinement at all, and at 70-years-old no less.

[global1]

10. No - Really? - I'm Convinced Now....

we're living in an actual episode of the Twilight Zone!!! Yikes!!!!!

[Blue Owl]

11. McDonald Trump

n/t

[Freethinker65]

12. Meh. So what? He likes fast food. Also as one ages, the ability to taste often changes.

He seems to enjoy overly salty and overly sweet foods. This is not uncommon.

[StatGirl]

29. I'm with you on this.

There are lots of things to get outraged about with the Trump presidency. His taste in food isn't one of them.

[Raine]

31. I agree, Bill Clinton loved fast food too

I don't see this as a burning issue...

[GoCubsGo]

41. Bill Clinton also wound up having bypass surgery because of it.

We were fortunate that he didn't need it while he was in office.

[StatGirl]

48. But no one here is criticizing Trump because they're worried about his health

The criticism is that he's tacky for wanting Micky D's when he has access to fine chefs. To which I say, "meh". Not a source of outrage for me.

If he weren't such a bigot, and he had policy positions that actually helped people, I would forgive him all manner of tackiness and vulgarity. So I'm not going to criticize him for things I would brush off if a progressive politician did them. I have only so much outrage to spend here.

[lame54]

50. It's not an old age preference...

It's a juvenile refusal to modify ones diet as they get older and more vulnetable to unhealthy foods

I suffer from the same affliction

[packman]

13. Pix of New White House chef preparing for State Dinner

[burrowowl]

34. LOL!!!!!

[Liberal Veteran]

14. Could be worse. There is plenty of room in the White House to open a McDonald's franchise. -nt

[Ilsa]

18. I bet Melanomia has him sleep at least one floor away.

He must smell awful.

[NastyRiffraff]

19. This is a man who eats well-done steak

WITH KETCHUP. Good chefs must shudder when they see him coming. Ketchup!

[roamer65]

23. Thats truly disgusting.

I like McDonald’s every so often, but ketchup on a steak...

[Poiuyt]

20. And here I was embarrassed when Bush offered the president of France a hamburger

[muntrv]

21. He wants the White House cooks to lower their standards.

[DFW]

44. That should be made an impeachable offense

The food there is un-fucking-believable.

[blueinredohio]

22. Makes me not want to take my grandkids there anymore

[roamer65]

24. They should fry everything in lard.

[Not Ruth]

26. I have not been to McDonalds since college

The smell alone keeps me from going, it is fried feces.

[lpbk2713]

27. I can just imagine a State dinner at the White House.

Trump is an embarrassment to us all.

[syringis]

30. In french we say "Donner des truffes un cochon"

Which literally means " To feed a pig with truffles"

You probably have an idiomatic expression to say the same but I don't know it.

I found this article about what Trump ate in the Forbidden City.

I only know "Newsweek" by its name, so I have no idea how much credit to give to it.

Not really convinced after reading the comments, maybe I'm wrong. However, unless the fact that the article points Trump's taste as very common and the standard of the menu far less under what you'd expected for a state banquet, it's not very much interesting.

I'm not sure at all he realized how much he has been honored.

32. It's hard to reconcile his food preferences with his businesses

The Trump Organization owns several very high-end restaurants. You have to wonder how a man who loves kids' foof got into the fine-dining industry.

[Retrograde]

49. High-priced doesn't always mean high quality

From the reviews I've read of Trump-branded restaurants they seem to be the former. It's as if someone is convinced that just because a thing costs a lot it must be good. As with most things Trumpian, it's more about conspicuous consumption than about quality or value for the money.

[jmowreader]

53. Its still better than McDonalds

[dembotoz]

33. I love cheese quarter pounder too

Actually the double quarter pounder with cheese.
The product is consistent and you know exactly what you are gonna get. His comfort food.
It is also safe. I have trouble digesting a number of foods and cheese quarter will not leave me scrambling for a bathroom. I spend a fair amount of time on the road and nothing screws up a schedule like turning a restroom into a toxic area. Been there done that
If he would resign I think we would happily make sure he can get as many as he wants for the rest of his life. Hell I would chip in

[Raine]

35. Don't forget Bill Clinton ate at McDonald's too

one of his favorite foods was Big Macs. I guess his appetite was like a five years old too.

[DFW]

37. After his bypass, Bill Clinton became a vegan

You should have seen Bill Clinton "before" and "after." While he was in office, he was kind of chunky. After his bypass and diet change, he has been skinny as a rail.

If Trump has a similar cardiac emergency, his version of eating healthier will probably be ditching Big Macs for Quarter Pounders.

[GoCubsGo]

42. I am not sure The Dotard would survive a similar cardiac emergency.

Trump is way beyond "chunky." Also, while Clinton was a bit hefty, he also jogged. He probably still does. The most exertion Trump gets is to hit the button to get the butler to bring him his Diet Coke. And, if the McDonald's doesn't do him in, that stuff will.

[DFW]

43. Trump is committing slow suicide with his diet

He'll never understand how many people are rooting for him to speed up the process.

[GoCubsGo]

45. Yep, and he probably doesn't understand that he's doing this to himself.

Unlike Bill Clinton, who changed his ways. This asshole, OTOH, probably believes he's somehow special, and that he's immune to things like cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

[DFW]

46. I'm sure I know why Bill Clinton made his radical diet change

Same reason I did--he had a near death emergency that caught his arterial blockage before a major heart attack occurred. After they saved my sorry ass, they called my wife in and told her "the new rules" of my diet, and they have been followed.

Clinton's condition was more drastic than mine. Where I was treated with stents and told how lucky I was (the ambulance was waiting outside to take me to the surgery building for a bypass if the stents failed), Clinton got a quintuple bypass without passing GO or collecting two hundred french fries. He took their advice very seriously. Last time I saw him, he looked almost malnourished, but he's probably a lot healthier than I am at this point. I have the distinct disadvantage of being married to a master gourmet chef, and while she tries to cook fat free, it's hard to stop once she puts her magic on the table.

[Raine]

47. Yeah I know. I'm really proud of him for giving up meat

something Dump would never have the smarts to do I'm sure.

[lame54]

51. As I remember...

The repugs mockingly served him McDonalds

It was not at his request

[zipplewrath]

55. And Obama

Despite the White House's emphasis on healthy eating and Obama's assertion that his favorite food is broccoli (I mean, really), Obama has a habit of taking people out for burgers and fries. Often that person is Biden. Just two guys grabbing some burgers, right? Obama suggested that he might have a burger for his 50th birthday in 2011. A blogger apparently nicknamed named him "President Obeef" because of his well-documented penchant for cheeseburgers. Michelle Obama also sometimes ditches the healthy eating and, like the rest of us, splurges on fast food.

There are several You Tube videos of Obama going out to Five Guys for burgers from the White House.

[DFW]

36. So, in other words, after ALL the illegal shit Trump has committed........

The one thing they will finally get him on is copyright infringement for Special Sauce?

Shades of Al Capone!

[maxrandb]

38. C'mon Donnie Short Fingers

Why not just franchise one and put a drive thru in the White House.

[Vinca]

39. Here's my deal to Don. Send me your chef and I'll have McDonald's delivered every day.

No brain, no common sense, no palate.

[Buns_of_Fire]

40. The next McDonald's ad campaign almost writes itself, doesn't it?

Food Fit For YOUR Little President!

(Ask them to TrumpSize your order!)

[GallopingGhost]

52. MacDonny

Luvs McDonalds!

[Historic NY]

54. Stalin asked his engineers to re-engineer a B-29 bomber.

[MFM008]

56. here you go fatty

suck it down and then drop dead.

[Irish_Dem]

57. Wouldn't it be easier to just run out and buy him a happy meal from McD's? nt

[NightWatcher]

58. That exactly what he sent his personal body man to do several times a week.

[Irish_Dem]

59. OMG. I guess it could be worse, he could be drinking all the time like Bush Jr. nt
