Filet-O-Struggle Plate: Trump Caters Dinner For National Champ Clemson Tigers With Fast Food

Original post:

Source: SAUL LOEB / Getty Donald Trump held an event for the  Clemson Tigers on Monday night, largely to celebrate the Tigers victory over the  Alabama Crimson Tide  to claim the school’s third national title and second in three years. However, since the government is currently on a shutdown due to Trump’s refusal to budge on a border wall, there was no chef in the White House to prepare a meal for the National Champions. Instead, Trump “personally paid” for 300 hamburgers and assorted fast food from McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s and Domino’s Pizza. And decided that due to the Democrats refusal to give him his desired $5.7 billion for the wall — that it was their fault the Clemson kids got a bunch of food that was a) probably cold and b) definitely worse than what they usually eat in the dining halls on campus. News: Due to the government shutdown, President Trump is personally paying for the meals that will be provided to the Clemson team during their celebration tonight, CNN has learned. Trump said he's serving “McDonald's, Wendy's and Burger King's with some pizza.” WH statement: pic.twitter.com/SAae2dSuMr — Kaitlan Collins (@kaitlancollins) January 14, 2019 Trust, it’s even more hilariously cheap with video.

Another held Domino's and fries, per pool. Clemson players entered as White House band played a jazz rendition of Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean. https://t.co/gIl8MjDl3t — Alex Leary (@learyreports) January 14, 2019 Unbelievable. The crazy thing about it? McDonald’s is currently running a 2 for $5 special on Big Macs and Filet-O-Fish’s and Wendy’s already has the Four For Four value menu. He probably got all of the food on the cheap.

Open Thread: 1.4% Military Pay Raise Draws Fire

The 1.4 percent pay raise the Obama administration has proposed for the nation's servicemembers would be the lowest raise given since 1962 – when none at all was given. The administration, which wants to freeze non-military pay for federal workers to tackle the deficit, says a 1.4% raise for the military would match average private-sector-wage growth and is in addition to earlier increases in housing and food subsidies. read more
