    much like he seems to with his own kids

    Trump is more like a villain in a ridiculous cartoony comedy than a real person. He buried their mom on a sad, isolated plot at his golf course to save on his taxes.

    So he goes for simple, shallow pleasures

    I have a theory that a huge number of ghouls live joyless lives and they can't even experience simple pleasures like food. Trump penchant for over-cooked steak with ketchup is like what a pouting rich boy orders to annoy his parents.

    And this was Nixon's last meal at the White House. People might say he was a broken man so he didn't care. But if so - why wouldn't it be just a cup of coffee? I think that sad sack of a meal is what Nixon actually liked. Maybe for him food served as some kind of Quaker culinary cilice

    I think Nixon, Trump and their ilk tend to be alike in that the only things that mattered to them are power and revenge. In this context when the the super-powerful and super-rich who are super-unhappy see some peasant walking down the street happily noshing on what appears to be a cheap and unimpressive Danish - they must fly into a rage and be filled with envy and hate. They might call somebody like Jeffrey Epstein to set up a "date" for them.

      I definitely think you're onto something with the food trend. I do think McDonalds is a good indicator of Trump's kind of pleasures though; all capitalist marketing and empty calories. And he's absolutely an absurd villain obsessed with personal vendettas.
