President Obama’s place setting for lunch in the dining room adjacent to the Oval Office in 2012.⁣
⁣
I never once saw him throw one of these plates against the wall even if he was upset. And had he smashed a piece of White House china, it would be considered destruction of government property.⁣
⁣
I never saw him use ketchup either.⁣
