    That was so shitty of him. You win the ultimate athletic achievement in your sport, you get invited to the White House expecting a lavish state dinner, and the asshole in charge says, “here’s your cold Big Macs. Enjoy. Oh, you don’t like Big Macs? Don’t worry, we also have Burger King!”

    And his “defense” of that was that he bought it all himself. The guy who claims to be so rich that he’s richer than the richest rich who ever riched bragged about paying a few hundred bucks for fast food when he hosted Superbowl winners. And it was cold.

      the photo is a perfect example of expectation vs. reality of his whole ‘presidency’-- decent food vs mountains of garbage that might have been edible when it was prepared 4-8 hours ago, but whose flavor now can’t even be covered up by the 2400mg of salt in each bite. and of course he’s standing back there with his stupid shit-eating grin as if he’s done a huge favor for someone, which no one who ever lived could have done better

        Everyone with a brain knew his presidency would be shit. He is the worst president that has ever existed in my entire life, by several orders of magnitude. He’s officially the 4th worst president in the history of the United States.

          i just meant “expectation” referring to the standards of the office of the president, not what anyone actually expected from trump

            From Wikipedia:

            Most surveys of the 21st century considered James Buchanan (left), Lincoln’s predecessor, as the worst president for his leadership during the build-up to the Civil War. Several ranked Lincoln’s successor Andrew Johnson last for blocking civil rights for freed slaves and undermining Reconstruction. Donald Trump, first ranked in 2018, has consistently polled among the bottom four and twice in last place, due to breaking longstanding norms such as the peaceful transition of power, a US precedent not broken since Washington first set it in 1797.

            I’m actually not sure who the 4th one is and don’t want to spend any more time looking.

      I enjoy how thrilled he looks about the selection. He’s like an 8-year-old throwing a birthday party. “You guys! Look what my mom got us for lunch!!!”

        I’m only surprised it wasn’t all Happy Meals.

        “I have a very good brain. My Uncle went to MIT. Good genes, very smart. So when I say Happy Meals are the best food you can get, you know it is! Trust me, folks. You get a little toy inside. A little plastic toy. Sometimes it’s a car, folks, but sometimes, if you’re a girl, it’s a little dolly. A little dolly, folks. I always get the car unless it’s a Disney toy. We love Lilo and Stitch, don’t we, folks?”

          For some reason, I read this being spoken in an Adam Sandler’s waterboy voice “I have a very good brain…”

      And his “defense” of that was that he bought it all himself.

      Which is just another of his lies. He was probably paid by McDonald’s for this advertising.
