      this is how you choose to spend the limited time you have

      My guess is that these guys saw someone like Bernie coming down the line at some point, a populist left wing politician who would have basically ended the billionaires free-for-all in america, and they said ‘well we gotta take over the entire government to stop this’, and people fell for it.

    The White House has one of the best chefs and kitchens in the world, and this dumbass will be ordering McD’s and KFC for 4 years.

      I hope so. Less cost to the taxpayer, and the high calorie and sodium count will send Trump to an early grave.

      Remember, this is the guy, who tried to sell steaks under his name, because “he knows steaks”, and also admitted to liking them well done with ketchup.

        Oh. Oh god. What the fuck. And rural Americans voted for that? That’s Iike if Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel, and the pope thanked him while personally repainting the entire thing in an awful vomit-green color.

      Wait. Why would you think that? It’s a mildly prestigious post. Sure, it’s honorable, but it’s certainly not something that anybody with any type of creative flair would ever aspire to. It’s a labor of 24/8 type love.

    This reminds me of so many comments from Americans saying how embarrassing Biden is as a president and that no one takes 🇺🇸’Murica🦅 seriously anymore under the Democrats. It was weird to read as a foreigner because I loosely remember what Trump was like. And now here we are again. Hope Americans are proud.

      The first time I flew out of the US after Trump became president I was so embarrassed of being American because of all the questions about his crazy ass. When I landed back in the US and saw his portrait on the wall in the airport, I stared at it perplexingly trying to understand what the fuck his stupid face was doing there….then it hit me that it’s there cause he was the president. Trump is a laughing stock and him at the helm of the US makes all Americans laughing stock for allowing this country to elect an orange makeup-caked, lying, shyster.

      So glad we get to do it again!!

      Honestly, in my social circle we’re all kinda treating it like this… strange, self-inflicted, natural disaster. Like we can’t even really joke about it, still. It’s like we all know it’s gonna be bad, the only question is how bad it’s going to be. There’s a lot I’m hoping is over-reaction, but honestly that’s a pretty shitty thing to hope for and a hard hope to maintain all things considered.

    Musk being best buds with the President of the USA is legit friggin’ scary, speaking as a foreigner.

    Then you remember that Trump, and it becomes terrifying.

    Not a single sauce opened, no bites taken, nothing removed from an annoying tray lip and placed on the table like a real person. No sign whatsoever that they are actually eating this junk. The half eaten fries are staged as eating without the ketchup that is right there on the tray is quite unlikely.

    This is a staged ad. It is meant to be a message to others in corporate America, and for marketing to convenient idiots to quote the Russian term.

      It’ both. The before eating pics are always more PR friendly. Trump loves McDonald’s because he has no taste

        Apparently he eats so much McDonald’s because he’s paranoid about being poisoned and thinks sending someone there to get his food anonymously makes him more safe somehow. It makes you wonder where that paranoia came from once you also learn that this was first reported seven years ago.

      Kennedy spoke openly the other day that the food they eat on the plane is absolute crap that is either big macs or KFC. So this could be a staged photo, but also it would mean another member of the photo was bitching about it being real and is lying.

      “The stuff that he eats is really, like, bad,” he said on [a] podcast, in an episode that aired Tuesday. “Campaign food is always bad, but the food that goes onto that airplane is like just poison. You have a choice between—you don’t have the choice, you’re either given KFC or Big Macs. That’s when you’re lucky and then the rest of the stuff I consider kind of inedible.”
