WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump welcomed the NCAA champion Clemson Tigers football team to the White House Monday with a shutdown smorgasbord of fast food offerings he called "great American food," including piles of pizza and fries and more than 300 burgers.
“Because of the shutdown, as you know, we have the great Clemson team with us, so we went out and ordered American fast food paid for by me,” the president said in the East Room, standing behind a table loaded with offerings from McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Burger King and Dominos served on silver platters, behind a gilded candelabra.

You post this then criticize it?
Dignified? These are college football players. Right up their alley.
Great job, Mr. President.
The kids probably enjoyed it more than a sit-down filet mignon banquet!
Has anyone heard any complaints from the team? I'm sure they were warned so they could make up their own mind.
Think of the slop Mike 0 would have offered.
We had pizza at our wedding reception. An Italian Wedding without Pizza and a Cookie Tray?
Bet the guys got a kick out of it, too.
I think that pretty much clarifies the situation.
Niece went to Clemson. This is so great.
Because you know the media would have jumped all over him for spending taxpayer money on fast food when the government was shutdown.
Then Sarah could have announced that Trump footed the bill himself personally and watched the media critics grovel and crawl back their mean-spirited comments.
Now that would have been a good show to watch. The media eating Donald's crow.
This is great. You know if he had taken them to one of the restaurants in one of his hotels for a really fancy dinner, the media would be screaming about emoluments. Guy can’t win for losing with them.
YOU ARE EXACTLY RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can’t believe our minds are one....
The media is currently trying to count just how many burgers he actually bought.
I kid you not
Dabo da’ man!
I’m expecting a major boycott campaign against all of the companies the President bought food from for the Clemson team’s meal by the Dems and other anti-Trumper’s but the time of tonight’s evening news.
This is a clear violation of campaign laws reported CNN (Certainly Not News). In other news grass is no longer green due to to Trump and global warming.
Did the team enjoy the food or were they complaining about it?
I love this President.

You mean he didn’t serve them Wagyu Japanese steak?
