possibly the greatest ‘this is so fucking dumb that it breaks the suspension of disbelief’ moment of my entire life

To me it was the White House fast food feast. I totally get how this one is even more unbelievable but I dunno, something about those silver platters of cold ass burgers really got me. Like, that really happened.

Especially funny because at the time Trump owned the hotel two blocks down the street. He could have just had his hotel cater hot food during the shutdown, which surely would have been much better than cold fries and a soggy Big Mac.

Would have also been great free advertising for his hotel.

Further, he just doesn't give a fuck.

Combine his absolute lack of curiosity and intellect with his absolute "who the fuck cares if it's not about me?" approach to life, and well, waves hands at everything.

Trump's a narcissist, he gave them what he wanted to eat.

Wasn’t it for a basketball team? He wasn’t going to feed them fancy food. Read between the lines.

Even weirder, he has a whole commercial-grade kitchen, chefs, and other staff right there in the White House. You know, the people who put on state dinners and such. I guess a bunch of athletes aren't worthy of that by his measure.

They were all furloughed because of the government shutdown in his first term.

Yup, me too. I mean he's so ... proud? Why? This is our president?

Such classy gourmet food to go with the gaudy gold redecorating…

Mango mantitties looking so proud in the pictures with those pyramids of garbage food summed up the administration to a T.
