Trump Serves McDonald's To Olympic Hockey Champs And Many Fans Aren't Lovin' It
President Donald Trump served McDonald's fast food to the U.S. Olympic men's hockey team at the White House, a decision that received both praise from supporters and criticism from detractors. Supporters, like Karoline Leavitt, called it a celebration of champions, while critics mocked the choice, recalling past instances of Trump serving fast food to other winning teams and expressing disapproval of the meal's quality. The event drew mixed reactions on social media, with some viewing it as lacking class and others as an informal, patriotic gesture.
Trump Serves McDonald's To Olympic Hockey Champs And Many Fans Aren't Lovin' It
President Donald Trump served McDonald’s to the Olympic gold medalist U.S. men’s hockey team at the White House Tuesday, giving indigestion to critics for once again plying champions with fast food.
Video shared by Scarlett Johnson of the far-right Moms for Liberty group showed the players chowing down on burgers. It got a thumbs-up from White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
“President Donald Trump knows how to celebrate champions — bringing McDonald’s to the White House for Team USA was pure American fun,” she wrote. “No one does it like him!”

To much mockery, Trump fed franchise food to Clemson’s national champion football team in 2019 and stuck to his playbook months later for a visit by Football Championship Subdivision winner North Dakota State.
This time, detractors again dished out brickbats to him ― and his press secretary.
Your standards are miserly low.

How embarrassing. The WH literally has the best chefs in their staff working 24/7 for the POTUS and events. And he orders takeout slop?
