President Donald Trump said ahead of his visit with the Clemson football team that the White House would be serving a bunch of fast food for the presidential meal.

Trump saw that football players are large, which must mean they like fast food (despite athletes generally emphasizing nutrition and whatnot). But Trump wasn’t lying here. The White House really did serve Clemson a ton of fast food on Monday night.

The media was present to catch a glimpse of the spread, which included fast food served on literal silver platters.

White House says President Trump "is personally paying for” event with National Champions Clemson tonight "to be catered with some of everyone’s favorite fast foods,” because "much of the residence staff at the White House is furloughed” due to the ongoing government shutdown. pic.twitter.com/abr5wFrc1I — MSNBC (@MSNBC) January 14, 2019

The idea of McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Burger King being served on silver platters seems a bit off, but let’s not forget that these are almost certainly lukewarm McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Burger King meals being served on silver platters. It just doesn’t sound appetizing.

Trump blamed the government shutdown, which left the kitchen staff furloughed, as the reason for the fast-food feast.

“Very large people that like eating,” because football.
