How many burgers were served? Multiply that by a hundred to get an estimate of how many innocent cows were slaughtered for this circus. But sure, it being cheap food is the thing to complain about.
Lol … Actually thinking that he paid for anything.
He probably ordered it from the nearest McDonald’s and just demanded it all because he’s president, promised them they’d get paid … then never thought of them again.
I call out the absurdity of hating on a guy buying McDonald’s and am attacked and I’m getting the warning? Not shocked I guess. If you don’t instinctively hate corporations here you are deemed a troll.
I mean what do you want? Me to answer a questionnaire and then we can have the rest of lemmy answer? And you can round up 50 or lemons? It can be a small little study!
For real, I’m about as center and middle of the road as you get. If you believe that the users on this forum are representative of the general population when top content is consistently femboys with thigh highs (and that’s not derogatory in ANY way) then I’m not sure what to tell you about your observations that make you think lemmy is even close to a generalized national/international persona.
You made the claim. It’s not my job to prove it’s true.
And I thought we were talking about the opinion that McDonalds is “great” food, not some weird claim that you are the world’s average when it comes to opinions.
Also, ‘as center and middle of the road as you get’ in some countries (like the U.S.) is ‘right-wing’ in others (like most of Europe).
spare me the monologue from S1E1 of Girls. No, its not a good thing that a massive corporation can make cardboard food similar across a global supply chain.
It’s wasteful, decadent, corpo-simp trash thats bad for the individual, the society and the ecosystem.
And it’s not even pleasant food. That doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy it - but like enjoying b-movies, or bad music, or silly clothing… you’re not enjoying it because it’s good.
Oh yes I’m sure all that fast food tasted great after two and a half hours of sitting around while the entire batch was cooked, then transported, then arranged carefully, then had all the eventgoers show up to room temperature food.
McDonald’s barely tastes that good if I wait more than 10 minutes after getting it in the car…
I know I’ll probably get downvoted for saying this, but the amount of hate he got for doing this was about as unwarranted as Obama’s white suit episode.
There was a government shutdown and the White House catering staff was on unpaid leave. And he was hosting a football team, not some delegation of international politicians. He basically did what anyone else would do if they have an unexpected visit and no food in the house. His guests had no complaints either, only the press hated it.
Im not going to bother looking for it but there are videos of the players coming into the room and one of them is heard asking if this was a joke/real. They were dressed up for fine dining at a respected instituition, not a family BBQ at the park.
At the White House? Yes. Like, literally, are you a fucking dumbass? How hard in the head were you hit as a child? Or are you just the trashiest of trailer trash that’s ever existed?
I don’t think anyone would really even remember if he hadn’t written hAmBeRdEr. No one was talking for weeks about how this incident clearly made him an inappropriate president. We laughed and moved on for the most part. Not remotely the same as the tan suit “incident”.
It wasn’t the fact that it looked good on him that he got crap for, it was the question whether it was appropriate for the occasion (a press conference discussing the potential escalation of military strikes in Syria).
Tradition demands that you wear a dark suit for something as serious as discussing the sacrifice of other people’s lives. A tan suit has more of a lighthearted vibe and is therefore something you’d wear to a festivity, not when discussing drone strikes.
He basically did what anyone else would do if they have an unexpected visit and no food in the house.
And this would be understandable if he were a middle class housewife. But this is the US president, during a shutdown caused by Trump. There should have been any number of restaurants that would have dropped everything to fill an order for the White House. This entire episode was just an embarrassment.
A middle class family couldn’t afford this much McDonald’s. They’d also have more taste and class than to serve this.
Agreed they could call many restaurants that offer catering. Or, he, his wife, or any of his adult children could have made a home cooked meal for stellar optics instead of this travesty.
Fat fucking chance I’m eating a home cooked meal made by Melania, Ivanka, Don Jr., and Eric. It would be fucking boiled potatoes, plain canned corn and green beans, and overcooked New York strip steaks.
He could’ve just as easily hired someone to cater and make good food, instead he spent $5000 on fast food because he thinks that’s what college football players prefer.
Also, Trump was the reason for the government shutdown because he wanted funding for his bullshit border wall.
Yeah you’ll get downvoted, because spending 5k on cold hamburgers from McDonald’s ist not something anybody would do. It’s something an idiot would do. Everyone with two brain cells would have started calling large restaurants or catering providers and ask them if they can make something happen.
I’m not even a Trumper, I don’t care if he’s re-elected or not, but he certainly wasn’t as terrible a president as everyone says. Most of the drama was just the media making flies into elephants.
Yes, because Trump and his people are anti-vaxxers who have convinced their legions to never vaccinate or wear a mask and they keep dying. And Biden has never suggested a bleach cure.
Trump supported the vaccine you idiot. It was the Democrats who were against it while he was in office, and then promptly wanted to make the very same vaccine mandatory as soon as Biden took over.
Sorry, stopped reading at the insult. I have no interest in Reddit-style behavior. If you want to talk to me with the courtesy I have afforded you, I will go back and read the rest of your post.
I have a feeling this will be replied to with another insult.
I didn’t call you an idiot for criticizing Trump, I called you an idiot for bringing it up as a criticism against Trump even though far more people died of it under Biden’s watch.
