Make Fast Food Great Again.

Due to the government shutdown he created, our supposed-billionaire president was forced to spend his own big bucks providing dinner for the Clemson Tigers football team during their visit to the White House on Monday evening. So, President Trump scrounged up one of his favorite meals: he bought over 1,000 fast food burgers for the team.

In a typo-ladened tweet on Tuesday morning, Trump bragged about his hospitality and the team’s savage appetite.

    Wash down your hamberders with some covfefe (but make sure it’s still smocking hot).

    Can we see the receipt? Does anyone seriously believe he actually paid for this?

  3. He couldn’t hire a catering firm or a chef? He’s a weird little dude.

  4. Crap they could get any day of the week and you thought you were doing something really special with your own money and we’re all so impressed. What a bleeping tightwad.

  5. That’s under 2k, maybe.

    Embarrassing. The plane tickets for the QBs on the team probably cost more.
