What do you do if you’re the President of the United States, you’ve got the national college football champions coming over for dinner, but all of your kitchen people are taking a nice unpaid vacation because your temper tantrums have the workings of the country pretty well paralyzed? You could either reschedule things until you’re able to do up a proper celebration, or you could do…this.

President Donald Trump paid tribute to college football champion Clemson for winning the national championship at a White House ceremony Monday evening.
Trump said he even paid for their meal of “American fast food” because of the partial government shutdown. He did not disclose the tab.“We went off and we ordered American fast food, paid for by me. Lots of hamburgers, lots of pizza,” Trump said after returning to the White House from a trip to New Orleans. “I think they’d like it better than anything we could give.”
“We have some very large people that like eating, so I think we’re going to have a little fun,” said the president, a fast food-lover himself.
“I had a choice,” Trump said. “Do we have no food for you? … Or do we give you some little quick salads that the First Lady will make, along with the Second Lady — they’ll make some salads. (No), I said, you guys aren’t into salads.”An impressive — and highly unusual for the White House — smorgasbord greeted the players in the East Room. Silver trays held stacks of wrapped burgers from Wendy’s and boxed burgers from McDonald’s, including Big Macs. White House paper cups bearing the presidential seal held the fries.
Pizzas, some topped with olives and tomatoes, also were on the menu. Silver bowls held the condiments and stacks of white china plates sat nearby.
Well hey, at least those kids will have a fun story about that time they went and had Happy Meals with a racist manbaby at one of the nation’s most important landmarks, so that’s something.
