12:01 PM Saturday, February 25th: I received a tip from a well informed source that Trump would be dining at the BLT Steakhouse inside his Trump hotel at approximately 6 PM that evening. I had seen the president dine in the restaurant before following a campaign event held at the property in October. I assumed he would take his regular table, a circular velvet one in the back on the second level of the steakhouse. I called and made a reservation for the balcony level. I wagered that if the president did not show up, at least we would get some nice pop-overs....
One woman shouts at him “Donald, it's my birthday!” Trump stops and says “Happy birthday,” as he hugs the elated woman. “How about a birthday present? Let's take a photo,” he says to her, afterward telling the woman she looks very young and has great skin....
8:45 PM: Trump is served his entree. According to a waiter, who wished to remain anonymous:
“The President ordered a well-done steak. An aged New York strip. He ate it with catsup as he always does. The sides and appetizers on the table were shared. Three jumbo shrimp cocktails were delivered before the meal. At one point, the President looked at his watch and remarked ”They are filming 'Saturday Night Live' right now. Can't wait to see what they are gonna do to me this week.“ It was hard to serve him because he is so funny and relaxed, it makes you laugh.”...
10:14 PM: Trump and his party get up to leave. The president is stopped momentarily for selfies and handshakes. discreetly, Trump can be seen handing cash to one of the latino busboys for his table. The president handed the young man a $100 bill.

A positive story? Wait till the Fake News crowd runs with this!
“He ate his aged New York strip steak with catsup as he always does.”
HORRORS! Ketchup on a fine aged New York Strip!
Might as well go to Sizzler if one is going to put ketchup on a streak.
The CNN headline will be “Trump puts ketchup on his steaks! The monster!!”
I was a corporate flight attendant and had to cook meals on a Gulfstream.
One thing I * KNOW * is anyone can eat their food any way they want and I never would bat an eye.
Its the Golden Rule : he who makes the gold makes the rules.
Or order it well done. Really no flavor left.
Ha, I see we all had the same thought!
Okay Jake(Tapper).
Inquiring minds want to know - How well do news media people tip their servers?
Well done! Ketchup! Maybe the Trump detractors are right! He IS a barbarian! ;<)
Yup. There’s alway some sanctimonious jerk crawling out from behind a keyboard criticizing everything Trump does.
He ate it with catsup as he always does.
or “Trump has cow murdered, then murders his steak!”
My B-I-L does exactly the same thing.
If he sees any Pink inside of his Steak, it isn’t cooked enough. While I usually order my Steak Medium, I order it Medium Rare if we go out to eat just to see him squirm.
He also puts Catsup on everything, and I mean everything.
Yeah. But DJT ain’t no dog eater.
First of all, odumbo would NEVER have done anything similar, NEVER! Had that been odumbo who gave such a tip (never gonna happen), he would probably picked the bus boys pocket as he walked out.
Also, “C-Note”, I realized after I read you post that this is probably not current usage, the younger people call them “Benjamins”. It originated sometime after World War One as slang, based either on C as short for ‘Century’ or as short for Latin for a hundred, ‘centum’. I suspect given the educational level of most yeggs, thugs, hoodlums and goons of the twenties it was the former rather than the latter.
I recall reading years ago about Sinatra, telling one of his entourage to “Duke him a C note” or “Duke him a hundred” when he wanted someone tipped.
Finally, as long as we're talking about C-notes, remember the “Kansas City Bankroll” or “KC Roll” - a wad of singles with one or two C-notes on the outside, rubber banded and flashed to make people think you had a lot more money than you did.
The tip was to cover up the real scandal. Burnt steak smothered in ketchup.
The uber-millionaire Clintons and Obamas would never tip anywhere close to that - that is, if they tip at all.
