Trump ‘very sad’ over Anthony Bourdain’s death
NY Post ^ | June 8, 2018 10:43pm | David K. Li

“Yeah, I think it’s very sad. In fact, I want to extend to his family my heartfelt condolences. That was very shocking,” Trump told reporters in Canada.

“When I woke up this morning: ‘Anthony Bourdain is dead.’ And I enjoyed his show. He was quite a character, I will say. But I just want to extend my condolences.”

Yet television’s commander in chef made no secret of his hate of Trump. Bourdain had joked about poisoning the president, compared him unfavorably to fascists and mocked the size of his hands.

“I will never eat in his restaurant,” Bourdain told Eater shortly after Trump’s election. “I have utter contempt for him, utter and complete contempt.”

Although Bourdain once said he’s never sit down for a meal with Trump, he had second thoughts if Chinese food were served.

“Trump would be interesting,” he told Thrillist back in 2016, “because watching him struggle with chopsticks would be pretty f–king hilarious.’

Bourdain wondered out loud: “How does he even grab chopsticks with those little fingers?”

#5. For my tongue=-in-cheek reply to the question “How does he even grab chopsticks”, I say, he’s the President. He has help to do that for him.

“It’s great to be king”.

Not a lot of reflection on the part of Bourdain.

And now he’s dead. Nothing special there.

I find all of those as plausible contributors, except sugar. I’m skeptical that it’s responsible for the recent spike in suicide. The western world has been eating a lot of sugar for the last 150 years. Sweets and sugary drinks have been near-staples for 75+ years (and diabetes & obesity have resulted), but there’s actually been something of a decline in soda and candy consumption over the past decade. Hershey’s and the big soda companies’ domestic sales have been pretty stagnant (even declining a bit here and there) for last 10 years or so. so why would the suicide thing just now suddenly manifest?

Was Bourdain’s post on May 2nd about Hillary’s goons after him real or fake news?

Clinton Foundation Connection and the Kate Spade Suicide

Reports have come in that Kate Spade was connected to The Clinton Foundation and their controversial work in Haiti which has had suspicious deaths connected with it! Mrs. Spade is not the first Clinton Foundation supporter to have suddenly and mysteriously committed suicide.

Also by hanging.

I seem to remember seeing one time in the episode with Anthony Bourdain when he was with pygmies and they tried to tell him that eating warthog rectum was a delicacy in amongst their population. I was watching this episode wondering what in gods name could possibly be going on because it was such a disconnect. I can only guess, that the pygmies pulled the biggest trolling of Anthony Bourdain ever.

I don’t understand the thing about chopsticks, the only place I have ever seen them used is in Hollywood.

those things seem like a perfectly devised weapon of torture, food nearby with chopsticks, an utterly unreliable way of eating. lol

Anthony Bordom was a miserably hateful ex-fry cook who fancied himself to be an admired international chef. As far as I know he was far from it. He always came across as a typical leftist, you know the type, always frowning and spewing garbage on how everyone else should live, just not him. He would preach the importance of keeping your carbon footprint in check while he jetted off to some culinary destination each week. His one saving grace was his fondness for the punk group, The Ramones, who is oddly enough a stauch Trump supporter. I would like to say I will miss him, but I won’t.

I hate to break it to you, but the Ramones have passed away, except for the drummers.

The bass player died of an overdose many years ago. Johnny died of prostate cancer and Joey died of lymphoma. They couldn't be Trump supporters: only democrats vote from beyond the grave.

I’m using chopsticks to eat my ramen as I type this. They are extremely useful in many situations. Try using chopsticks to eat a salad, then thank me.

Perfect picture of Michael Savage’s book cover. Liberalism is a mental disorder. Can we just make it so? That way we can commit people like Bourdain to an institution and not suffer through their leftist rants and otherwise senseless, nonsense chatter.

By the way, I will always be thankful to Bourdain for giving me his seat since I go to the Trump Tower restaurant often.

What an ignorant dope he was. Trump, like me, probably eats Chinese food with a fork. (I used to use chopsticks when I was young and impressionable.)
