The White House has one of the best chefs and kitchens in the world, and this dumbass will be ordering McD's and KFC for 4 years.

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 128 points 10 months ago (5 children)

I hope so. Less cost to the taxpayer, and the high calorie and sodium count will send Trump to an early grave.

[–] EvacuateSoul@lemmy.world 65 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (4 children)

The taxpayer doesn't pay for his meals, actually. Came as a surprise to the Obamas they said once.

2014 link: https://www.theguardian.com/money/us-money-blog/2014/nov/28/obama-bill-white-house-thanksgiving

Didn't look to hard for the Obama quote, but Nancy Reagan's reaction is in that one.

I heard about the President being billed for services in an interview with Laura Bush.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Lol Trump doesn't pay his bills. He still owes several cities from campaign rallies he held in like 2015. He's infamous for not paying his bills, and was so for decades before he became president.

There is no chance that Trump paid for this.

[–] militaryintelligence@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I guarantee Trump finagled the taxpayer into paying to stuff his greasy pedo face and all of his chomo friends

[–] oce@jlai.lu 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

White House chefs who prepare the president’s meals are paid by the government.

I am confused by this. He pays his meals, but the chefs are paid by the government? So he only pays for the ingredients?

[–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 31 points 10 months ago

Oh the McD orders will be on top of everything. The kitchen will just throw away a lot more food.

[–] Fermion@feddit.nl 23 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Do you want President Vance? This is how you get President Vance.

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

At least that mf would be predictable.

[–] Fermion@feddit.nl 21 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Would he? I'm terrified of his ability to double down on obvious bullshit even when presented with facts directly countering his claims.

As bad as Trump is, I'm almost more concerned about the people who saw his first clown show and thought either "I have got to get in on this" or " I can use this to accomplish my goals. "

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 10 points 10 months ago

I'd at least be fairly confident Vance wouldn't seriously suggest nuking a hurricane.

[–] mjhelto@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago

In 4 years, though, I can bet Vance would leave if he lost the election. He doesn't have the spine or charisma to do any showboating and grandstanding like tRump.

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago

There is a cockroach effect for some people when it comes to medical matters, like cancer gets them instead of the other way around.

[–] MrPoopbutt@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I'm not sure Vance is any better.

Not sure he's any worse either. Ugh.

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 36 points 10 months ago (2 children)

This was the exact sentiment that crossed my mind. The amount of money these dipshits have available and they're eating that crap? I don't even believe it. This HAD to be a photo op to make the idiots believe "Wow they eat what I eat" before they rolled in the burnt steak with ketchup and whatever else they actually prefer.

[–] darkpanda@lemmy.ca 34 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nah it’s probably legit. Trump is famous for eating like trash. His usual order is reported to be two Big Macs and a Filet-o-fish, but I only see one Big Mac on his tray so maybe he’s on a diet.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

He already scarfed down the others.

[–] Sabin10@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Trump actually loves McDonald's and eats it all the time.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 24 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hopefully the ecoli gets them all.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Trump probably hates vegetables. Probably takes out the pickles and then cries about it like a little kid when Ivanka forgets to order a burger without any vegetables. So he won’t eat those tainted onions and carrots.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Remember, this is the guy, who tried to sell steaks under his name, because "he knows steaks", and also admitted to liking them well done with ketchup.

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

also admitted to liking them well done with ketchup

Oh. Oh god. What the fuck. And rural Americans voted for that? That's Iike if Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel, and the pope thanked him while personally repainting the entire thing in an awful vomit-green color.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

They are insulated from almost all facts about the fuckhead in chief.

[–] pdxfed@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Yeah, but what about the promotional and kick back opportunities lost? You have to think about profits...

[–] index@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The White House has one of the best chefs and kitchens in the world,

And that's why they are not going to eat any fast food, they are making ads

[–] Boozilla@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

When 45 was in office, the WH kitchen staff complained that they were very under-utilized compared to other presidents.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago

Oh I'm sure he'll have a nice well-done steak with ketchup every now and then.

(I died inside a little bit just typing that)

[–] Willy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Wait. Why would you think that? It’s a mildly prestigious post. Sure, it’s honorable, but it’s certainly not something that anybody with any type of creative flair would ever aspire to. It’s a labor of 24/8 type love.

[–] Boozilla@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Because I know that Andre Rush is a passionate chef. He's well-known. Look him up!
