This is a “golden age of journalism” wrote New York Times reporter Sopan Deb on Wednesday. And to prove his point the next day the media created a scandal out of a report that President Donald Trump was served two scoops of ice cream with his pie while having dinner with Time magazine reporters, while the reporters were served only one scoop.

As he settles down, they bring him a Diet Coke, while the rest of us are served water, with the Vice President sitting at one end of the table. With the salad course, Trump is served what appears to be Thousand Island dressing instead of the creamy vinaigrette for his guests. When the chicken arrives, he is the only one given an extra dish of sauce. At the dessert course, he gets two scoops of vanilla ice cream with his chocolate cream pie, instead of the single scoop for everyone else. The tastes of Pence are also tended to. Instead of the pie, he gets a fruit plate.”

“...Keep it up guys. Nonsense like this will make his reelection a landslide....”
With all their bellyaching, whining, Russian conspiracy, 24 hours/day Trump Bashathons; I think they’ve pretty much already “sealed the deal” on a 2nd Trump term. NOBODY, but the lowest-information types, has any respect or belief in the MSM as a reputable news source. They’ve become the PRAVDA of the DNC.
They have lost ALL credibility.
You guys are killing me with the movie references (makes me wonder if the reporter was fondling his balls while typing), but lets get serious for a minute.
In a large banquet situation, there are legitimate security reasons for making the President’s and Veep’s meals visually different than everyone else’s meal. So, this was probably a deliberate act....but not for the reasons one would usually consider.
The press is completely deranged.
And here's another humiliating loss for Dumbos.
Dimmies sure picked a winner in loud-mouthed Perez.
Guy cant win an election to save his soul.
Perez declared abortion-on-demand is Democrats' ticket to victory.
So if that doesn't work....I guess Perez is looking at infanticide for wins.
============================================
In Kansas, Repub Estes won by eight points; Dumbo Ossoff in GA failed to prevent a runoff...even after every prog/Dumbo and his second cousin from East Overshoe, USA, sent Ossoff some 10 million dollars.
Earlier Democrats lost again b/c they failed to flip Zero Seats in Four Blue State Special Elections.
These latest total Democrat humiliations by the Russians occurred right after DNC genius Tom Perez bragged Democrats would show that that "resistance to Trump" could be translated into electoral victories.
To add insult to injury, the Minnesota, Connecticut, Virginia Democrat losses are the states the Russians threw to Hillary in the 2016 presidential election.
Go figure.
Trump works for his ice cream while press get free ice cream!
My guess is that the waiter knew Pres. Trump's likes and brought the Coke and bringing water to everyone else while taking their drink orders.
Think about when you go out to dinner. I know we are brought water until the waiter knows what we want to drink.
Was it Russian ice cream?
“...making a duplicate key and stealing the strawberries.”You win the internet for the day with that one. :)
(It’s always the Russians)
I haven’t seen this level of childish behavior since my little brother was seven.
Subtle racist microaggression - extra vanilla to overpower the chocolate
Wait a minute! Do you seriously think that the President of the United States being served a slightly different menu than the guests is rude? I didn’t think that the media stupidity in making a big deal of this could be topped in its shear pettiness, but you have proved me wrong. Whiny guests get the opportunity to break bread with the President and Vice President in the White House and come away bitching about who had how many scoops of ice cream, and you blame the President? You must be a John McCain clone.
This just in: early reports are that President Trump has just used a sugar substitute and reporters were callously given run-of-the-mill, likely poisonous, common sugar. The brand of sugar substitute President Trump horded for himself was not known, but it is believed to be a secret bajillionairs only substitute.
Later reports suggested that President Trump was served not one, not two, but 3 pats of butter, laced with gold, while reporters were reduced to choking down sesame seed dinner rolls with lowly margarine from a local Wal-Mart.
The type of salt afforded the mega-mega-mega rich Trump was not reported but anonymous sources have claimed the President uses salt derived from the dried up tears of senator Chuck Schumer.
Sure, at a dinner table where he is the host. How hard would it have been to give the guests the same options?
And I despise John McCain. It’s just basic etiquette.
Now, on the etiquette side, it is also rude of the reporters to tattle and make an issue of it.
That’s right. They aren’t paying for dinner. You and I are paying. Why should they get anything?
Basic etiquette? Baloney. The president does not choose White House event menus. Usually the first spouse works with the White House staff to do so, but it isn’t clear if Melania is doing this. So if anyone is to “blame” it is the White House chef. White House staff has ALWAYS catered to the first family’s particular needs and wants. There is no doubt whatsoever that this ice cream thing is not the first time a president ate something that wasn’t offered to the guests. Reporters bitching about it is petty beyond belief. And whether or not you despise McCain isn’t the point. You are behaving like him in this instance.
“”The real horror here is eating ice cream with chocolate cream pie. Apple, cherry, berry, rhubarb, yes. Chocolate cream pie with ice cream? Gross.””
I was going to post - AGREE - even before I saw who posted!! I knew from the start we have a lot in common..
LOL!
