President Donald Trump decided to cancel the lawmakers’ Congressional picnic at the White House on the grounds that it didn’t feel “right” - but, he didn't let the food go to waste.

“I was just walking over to the Oval Office and I said, ‘You know, it doesn’t feel right to have a picnic for Congress when we’re working on doing something very important,’” Trump said Wednesday, the day before the scheduled event. “It didn’t feel exactly right to me,” Trump said, promising to reschedule the Congressional picnic at “another time when things are going extremely well.”

Trump says that Congress has too much on its plate to have a picnic, including immigration, trade and “many, many” other things.

The food was served Friday for lunch at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, according to a report from Bloomberg News. The food – which included rib-eye steaks, cole slaw, black beans and pies – was served to patients, caregivers, and employees at the Warrior and Family Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
