    This is almost the funniest thing Trump has ever done. It don't quite top the fast food buffet though that he set up for the college football team's white house visit.

      That shit was funny. His sheepish grin. His arms spread wide in a gesture of welcome. A table full of trans fats and salt. It’s perfect

        It was the funniest image of his entire presidency. When I first saw it, I thought it was photoshopped. It took me a few minutes to realize it was real. All the McDonalds, Burger King, Arbys and Wendys was so carefully divided and arranged LOL

          Seeing a stack of 1 dollar McDonald's burgers on a gold platter and the contrast of that was just so fucking hilarious.

              Abigail Adams was all right. No need to be dragging her into this.

                Without knowing anything about her except that she was a US historical figure rich enough to own gold platters I can confidently say she was a genocidal fascist who either owned slaves or was best friends with people who did and deserves far worse than whatever dunks a commie shitpost forum can throw at her a century? after her death.

                  "Unlike Martha Washington, Abigail Adams opposed slavery and had favored its abolition in the early 1770s. While sympathetic to the slaves and the hardships they endured, "Lady Adams" was less compassionate toward the young nation's immigrant population."

                    Arright, you got me interested enough to google it.

                    Adams did not own enslaved people. Instead, the Adamses hired white and free African-American workers to provide these services. However, that did not mean that they avoided slavery altogether. While the Adamses opposed slavery both morally and politically, they tolerated the practice in their daily lives and they may have hired out enslaved African Americans, paying wages to their owners, to work in the Vice President’s and President’s House. ... Abigail finally came to the conclusion that she would only hire American-born servants and that enslaved African Americans were the most reliable of that group: “the chief of the Servants here who are good for any thing are Negroes who are slaves, the white ones are all Foreigners & chiefly vagabonds.”

                    Not trying to be a know it all, I just found that on google. It's also literally all I read, so maybe the lady is still bad,

                    I got the quote from here , i'm not going to read it. If anyone does, i'd be interested in hearing about her whole deal.

          Honestly the coolest thing a president has done. The kids probably loved it. Who in this country doesnt love eating absolute garbage? If Obama did it, people would love it.

          The photo is a whole other thing though. Art.

        Making it even more Trumpian was he did it for the champions of college football, which is the ultimate red state sport. A group of kids - mostly poor, southern and black - being led into the room by their white coach who is an anti-labor, vaguely racist dipshit.

          Pretty sure his supporters are saying this unironically.

          A few of them were interviewed after the last one, and they saw it as him teaching them a lesson. And they didn't elaborate, but it sounded like it was a lesson in self sufficiency or whatnot, and not them being idiots for supporting him.

      Trump usually holds rallies at airports. Probably because he's a lazy bastard and just wants to fly out. Who knows. When Bernie came to town, it was at a sports stadium. When trump did, it was an airport. Many of these airports are smaller and aren't really set up for that sort of traffic. So they set up parking lots miles away and shuttle them to and (theoretically) from the lots on charter buses.

      Last time, the shuttles came in through a two lane road just fine because they staggered things out okay, but trying to come back, the road got congested from both the buses coming all at once and from enough people ignoring instructions and trying to park closer, and they basically got stuck at a standstill.

      There was also less of a time crunch getting them there as it was a bit warmer, because the sun was out.

      This time, no clue.
