CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — During a trip to Texas to visit first responders who worked with the Hurricane Harvey relief effort, first lady Melania Trump and second lady Karen Pence stopped at Whataburger to get their fast food fix, ABC News reports.
White House Communications Director Stephanie Grisham tweeted a picture of Trump and Pence at a Whataburger in Corpus Christi Wednesday afternoon.
The tweet read, “On our way out of town, @FLOTUS & @SecondLady decided to stop in to @Whataburger for some lunch! The American chain opened its 1st restaurant in Corpus Christi, TX in 1950!”
Reporters said the first and second lady also treated them to fries and paid the bill.
Y’all @FLOTUS @SecondLady bought me, @CallerElly and @Caller_Casey @Whataburger #melaniaInTX
According to KZTV, Trump and Pence also met with several families whose home was destroyed during the hurricane and made a stop at an elementary school in Aransas Pass.
“As we approach Christmas this holiday season, your family is an example of what it means to have hope and recognize your blessings,” Trump said during her visit. “You serve as a reminder to all of us that the best gifts are those of family and friends, love and kindness,” said Melania Trump.”

Beautiful Christmas decorations!
Agreed!
Beautiful. I love the Nativity scene.
Corpus Christi is the ancestral home of Whataburger, probably the best burger chain in the US today.
—— but their fries have the “20 min rule” just like Mickey Ds. I’m betting some of the press either broke a tooth or lost a filling.
“Best. First. Lady. Ever.”
Absolutely true and brought to you by the Best. Election. Ever. !!!
The directions to anywhere in Corpus Christi contain the phrase “behind Whataburger”.
Number one with cheese mustard all the way with a diet coke and a hot apple pie. Thanks...:)
Have some fries with your lies.
Their burgers can't hold a candle to Whataburger.
Thanks for that post/link. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen pictures taken inside the VP residence at the Naval Observatory. Very nicely done.. Love the ginger bread house...
I don’t know if this publicity will hurt or help Whataburger.
Please add me to the First Lady’s ping list, KC. Thanks!
First time he went there he was disappointed when he found out it was a restaurant.
DFW! That was dangerously close to me needing a new monitor.
“Did Jackie and Lady Bird ever do this?”
Jackie thought she was MUCH classier than Lady Bird-——they weren’t friends.

When he went to London, he was disappointed that Big Ben was a clock.
(Ok, I stole that from Rodney)
