On Monday, Donald Trump stated that the White House would serve food from fast food chains McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Burger King, as well as pizza, to the national champion Clemson University Tigers.
This was different than any other year because of the current government shutdown, so much of the White House staff were furloughed, so Trump paid for the fast food straight out of pocket.
“I think that would be their favorite food, so we’ll see what happens,” he added.
“The President wanted to host a fun event to celebrate the College Football National Champion Clemson Tigers,” deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley told CNN in a statement.
“Because the Democrats refuse to negotiate on border security, much of the residence staff at the White House is furloughed — so the President is personally paying for the event to be catered with some of everyone’s favorite fast foods,” he said.
Later on that day, images emerged showing just how serious he was about the meal as the team showed up.
