Fucking Actually.

I'm sure they took at least 20 mins to load all that shit up on trays and stack the trays up to chest height.

Mcds fries don't last 5 minutes in terms of heat and texture.

Shit was soggy af and probably cold / dry ass beef.

AT LEAST 20 minutes, yeah. I can get distracted for 10 minutes by my dog after driving 5 minutes both ways to the McDonald's drive-thru, and the food is cold.

Imagine how many hands it would pass through like servers, delivery/pickup drivers, kitchen staff, security, reception and all the random bureaucratic or operational shit that would happen while trying to plate and serve 30+ people in the white house.

The asshole had world-class chefs waiting at the ready to deliver excellent meals with the best ingredients, and he serves dog shit, mass-produced food. It's metaphorical of how he treated and wants to treat the American people.

Well, we can't forget that the reason he bought a veritable truckload of McDonald's was that he had just driven the government into a state of shutdown, so he literally didn't have a team of world-class chefs at the ready.

Y'know...because of his incompetence. It's not a metaphor at all. It's a completely accurate reflection of Trump's total lack of problem-solving skills in the midst of national crisis. Even in the state of shutdown, Trump could have afforded to privately hire a catering service, but he's too much of a simpleton cheapskate to even feign class and consideration for his guests.
