Notwithstanding a federal government shutdown, President Donald Trump rolled out the red carpet for Clemson’s National Championship football team at the White House tonight. Clemson won their national title exactly a week ago.
And freedom was on the menu, with Trump personally paying for a catered meal of American fast food, including Wendy’s, McDonald’s, Burger King, and Domino’s Pizza — all laid out in the State Dining Room.

The Democrats’ refusal to compromise on border security and reopen the government didn’t stop President Trump from hosting national champion @ClemsonFB tonight. He personally paid for the event to be catered by some of America’s great fast food joints pic.twitter.com/eK4CuuBXGM

And Trump spent less money on that food than if it had been catered by the white house galley.
Another win.
