We live in an ungrateful nation today..and the media is the worst!

We are more than two years into the Trump presidency, and his opponents still haven’t figured out that criticizing absolutely everything he says and does actually doesn't turn people against him. You’d think the president's critics in politics and news media would understand by now that nitpicking him over silly issues makes them look small and petty, accomplishing the exact opposite of attracting converts.
Yes, the White House served burgers, chicken sandwiches, chicken nuggets, salad, pizza, and french fries this week to the 2018 national college football champions. Yes, Trump bragged about paying to feed the Clemson Tigers out of pocket (there’s a shutdown, you know). Yes, the president exaggerated in his usual hyperbolic way about the amount of McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Domino's, and Burger King served this week and how much it cost him.
Maybe burgers and pizza are not the sort of spread one would expect from the White House. But the Clemson players appeared to appreciate it, and everyone seemed happy. So, who cares, really? The most this incident deserves is maybe an eye roll. Maybe.
But this is the era of Trump, and most of his critics in the news media are nuts, so of course the Clemson dinner has sparked a serious, mostly humorless response from reporters and pundits.

Burgers a mile high.
Foot Long Sandwiches at Subway are only 11.5” long.
The Toyota Corolla’s that Hertz rents are called Midsize Cars.
When will the madness end?
I noticed something curious.
Nowhere did I see any photos of the team members eating the snacks. I don’t know who would have made the decision not to show them. It’s probably for the best. If the reporters were in the same dining area with the players as the eating commenced, the majority of reporters would have tried to bait the players into saying something negative about the event.
The “detailed Washington Post analysis” includes charts, graphs, and investigations of wire photos and social media posts. The article is clearly written in jest, but at nearly 1,000 words long, the author is maybe just a bit too committed to the gag, which ultimately is about proving whether the president is a liar and a skinflint. - And all because the White House served burgers.
Burgergate?

......”When will the madness end?”.....
It won’t as long as we have a treasonous media being funded and played by the Left.
Thanks for the photo.
Little by little, our president is being normalized.
Maybe never to the extent of GWB or most republican presidents, but enough to enjoy a few benign rituals of the position. A year ago, the big news would have been which players were angrily refusing to have lunch with Mr. Trump.
That will likely happen again in the future, but meanwhile, days like this are starting to occur too.
One and the same.
Trump paid for it himself so why should they give a rip.

Wow.
If the guy on the left with the beard and a red tie had darker hair he would almost be the spitting image of my son.
My son was getting into an argument on Twitter. My son thought it was a great for Trump to do. Shortly afterwards one of the players posted a photo with two burgers on top of each other. Said something like “Double-stack burgers, what’s not to love!?”
My son just kept posting that photo to any negative comments about the dinner.
There’s another photo of the guy captioned:
“Find someone to look at you the way this guy look at these hamburgers”
LOLOL
The smucks at VOX, WP etc. re “1000 hamburgers” didn’t check to see that the White House ordered seconds and thirds for the guys. /sarc
A POX on VOX!
The Wash. Post doesn’t know diddly about hamburgers and news, but they sure know how to serve their readers “TurdBurgers” as news.
Uncanny.
My son actually does look at hamburgers like that too!
300 two inch high burgers stacked up is 50 feet high. That is still lots of food. Then, add the pizzas and fries.
Found that on Twitter.
What, there’s no arugula on those Big Macs? /s
