The cook leaves, Trump serves McDonald's in the White House
White House cooks are on strike and Donald Trump welcomes his guests by ordering pizza and burgers, thus celebrating American fast food cuisine
An important occasion for the Clemson Tigers college football team: for the second time, the players crossed the threshold of the White House, thanks to sporting merits.
A truly original reception awaits them, a banquet they will surely not forget, organized by the current President of the United States Donald Trump. Certainly not canapes of caviar, salmon and processed foods, but a string of fast food products: burgers, sandwiches, pizza, crispy fries and sauces in large quantities. Not an alternative proposal created to accommodate the food preferences of very young athletes, but a choice imposed by the government shutdown implemented by the Congress itself, at the behest of the President.
Donald Trump, who has long focused on the construction of the wall on the border with Mexico, has favored this stalemate in the freezing of administrative activities and, consequently, in the economic allocation that he defines as public spending. The actual result is a halt to payments to 800,000 government salary workers, including those serving the White House, who have found themselves without income. And in the absence of cooks and waiters, the US President has organized himself in this truly unique way, after having set aside the idea of asking First Lady Melania Trump to prepare various salads.
After a series of phone calls to McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's and a pizza chain, Trump paid for a really substantial menu out of his own pocket. More than a thousand burgers served on silver plates and trays: fast food, but with style and elegance. The guests certainly enjoyed tasting the many food proposals taking photos and selfies of the evening, while the President bestowed smiles and handshakes, letting himself be immortalized in front of the artistic pyramids of burgers and fast food products.
