The haters can mock this all they want, but I think it’s hilariously awesome.
The Clemson football team visited the White House today, and President Trump greeted them with an array of classic American fast food.

For those wondering, the government shutdown is kinda sorta affecting those ~fancier~ aspects of the White House, hence the fast food. And yes– Trump paid for it all himself.
“Because the Democrats refuse to negotiate on border security, much of the residence staff at the White House is furloughed…the President is personally paying for the event to be catered with some of everyone’s favorite fast foods,” Sarah Sanders said in a statement.
Here’s a video I shot of President Trump showing off his 300 hamburgers. pic.twitter.com/P06S6I5w07

Liberals are desperately trying to mock his gesture, which is really weird because you’d THINK they’d be all for it. After all, doesn’t this make him more down to earth or whatever?
This is just so sad…really…just sad

They came all the way to the White House to eat cold fast food out of cardboard containers. Awesome. I can’t wait to hear the comments of these young men later. What an embarrassment.

That is just insulting and gross to serve them fast food in the WH. They are obviously being used for a political stunt blaming Dems for shutdown and lack of decent food.

Eh, I should’ve known. Democrats constantly play the opposite game. If Hillary or Obama did this, they’d be all, “Wow! She/he SO GETS college kids! Fast food! ‘Merica!” And they’d marvel over how she/he managed to get around the little shutdown snag in a light and endearing manner. You know it’s true. But since this is Trump we’re talking about, this is obviously degrading, pathetic and embarrassing.

The silverware with fine @WhiteHouse china service plus the @McDonalds is heaven. He’s truly the blue collar billionaire and I support all of it! 🍔 https://t.co/WdrOx6aAQy

There also appears to be Domino’s Pizza at the White House event for the Clemson Tigers. pic.twitter.com/mhceV3jKCN

"You guys aren't into salads," said Pres Trump of one idea to have @FLOTUS & @SecondLady prepare salads for the Clemson Tigers. Instead the WH sent out for a thousand burgers from @McDonalds, @BurgerKing and @Wendys. "We have everything that I like and you like," said the pres. pic.twitter.com/uYL26Qvr2F

The kids win a national championship, don't earn a dime. They go to the White House, get Trump and Fast Food. Amateurism keeps getting worse by the minute.

"We have pizza, 300 hamburgers, many many french fries."
Regardless of whether or not you support President Trump, there is something quite hilarious about him feeding the National Champion Clemson Tigers a bunch of junk food…by candlelight. https://t.co/0TBLrxadJU

I totally agree. Lighten up. If I had the chance to eat a spread of fast food at the White House with POTUS, you’re DARN RIGHT I would. It’d be hilarious and awesome.
Don't be such snobs. It would be a lot of fun to dine on McDonalds with POTUS at the White House. pic.twitter.com/bj3l3usdhT
