You wouldn’t think McDonald’s Big Macs and Burger King Whoppers would spark a nationwide argument and fabricated memes, but this is the age of the internet internet.

Critics recently came down on President Donald Trump when he served Clemson University’s national championship-winning football team an assortment of fast food from McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Burger King and Domino’s Pizza during their White House visit on Jan. 14.

Since then, some players have defended the fast food spread as being a rare treat, but one picture-turned-meme of star freshman quarterback Trevor Lawrence took it a bit further.

The photo of Lawrence was taken after the team’s win over Alabama on Jan. 7. Soon, it turned into a meme when text was overlaid across it with the words "Clemson QB speaks out to defend America."

A quote attributed to Lawrence follows: "President Trump got all our favorite foods, it was the best meal we ever had. Then we go and see the coastal elite media trashing it for not being organic vegan. We’re football players not bloggers. This was a perfect blue collar party."

We can’t determine where the meme originated from but it has been shared widely on social media.

No, the 19-year-old college quarterback did not say the party was trashed by "the coastal elite media for not being organic vegan." Nor did he say it was "a perfect blue collar party."

The entire quote was fabricated.

After the post started to gain traction, Lawrence came out and denounced the quote, tweeting, "I never said this by the way … I don’t know where it came from. However the trip to the White House was awesome!"

I never said this by the way... I don’t know where it came from.

Lawrence’s tweet shared the fake quote from @CloydRivers, an account with 1.8 million followers that routinely shares misinformation. That tweet has since been removed from the platform.

Ross Taylor, assistant athletic director for Clemson football communications, told the Associated Press that Lawrence was shown the false quote on Tuesday.

"Everything that is presented in the meme is fabricated," Taylor said.

This quote is Pants on Fire!
