    No it’s because he’s too cheap to even hire a catering company and his first lady or first daughter or whoever isn’t even up to faking the while party hostess part of that role by hiring an event planner to do it for her.

    He’s probably getting paid for all the endorsements too. After all, he literally sold the Resolute Desk for ad space to Goya.

    It’s because he’s paranoid about being poisoned…

    Long before he was president he’d send people “undercover” to buy large amounts of fast food, then he’d eat a random portion. I suspect he even has others eat from the total first. That’s why he always serves to cold to sports teams and the like. He’s used to the crazy delays it comes with, he’s likely never had it fresh.

    It’s also why he’s so fat. If everytime you ate it was from a pile of cold fast food and even after full there’s a pile left, anyone would over eat and become as obese as trump. That would take a godawful amount of willpower to resist, but constantly caving to cravings would fundamentally rewire your brain.

      I don’t buy it… Certainly the kitchens in the white house have a whole security process to guarantee the procurement chain wasn’t tainted. And even then he could do that with any food place that doesn’t display his name.

        He actually has a number of weird idiosyncratic tendencies, and the consistency and randomness of getting something pre-made means no one can spit in your food.

        Also, he’s old enough that McDonalds used to be good during his impressionable years. Maybe the “Donald” part helped, but it’s a bigger mental issue than just the name.

        And even then he could do that with any food place that doesn’t display his name.

        This has been happening since the 80s…

        Now it’s completely unavoidable, unless it’s someone close to you that manages to do it to the pile at the last second.

        Like, I’m not saying trump is rational, I’m explaining his irrational logic for why he got used to it.

        Anywhere in the country and most of the planet, someone can go buy $200 worth of McDonald’s and delivery it in under an hour. It’s what he’s used to

        When I was a kid growing up in New York City he was in the local papers more often than Charlie Brown and Snoopy.

        A model once said that she got paid $25,000.00 every time she posed for pictures, and Donald loved the camera more than she did.
