Maybe it's because a stomach flu has been circulating in my household, but news accounts and pictures of the spread President Trump ordered up for the Clemson football team nearly set me off on another mad dash to the toilet. The thought of those fast food hamburgers cooling within their cardboard containers, the grease soaking the buns and congealing on the way to the White House as the bright cheese performed its secret ministry on the filets-o-fish--well, it must have seemed to those guys like a very long time ago that they beat the crap out of the Crimson Tide. I think the whispered message is that real men, of the kind who love Trump, aren't going to forgo their favorite all-American foods on account of what educated people say about what's good for you. It's their version of "virtue signaling." They're hard-line conservatives so no fruits, vegetables, or homilies from nutrition scholars! In reading up on this subject on the Internet, I see that, according to Corey Lewandowski, Trump's former campaign manager and co-author of Let Trump Be Trump: The Inside Story of His Rise to the Presidency, the president's standard order at the Golden Arches is two Big Macs, two Filets-o-Fish, and a chocolate milk shake. Since this is an approximately 2700 calorie package, it raised a few eyebrows, and Lewandowski, back pedaling a little, explained that Trump does not eat the buns. Is there anything these guys don't lie about? Here is an amusing article by some "investigative journalists" reporting on what happened when they tried to consume our president's favorite order.
One day Trump will die and go to Hell, where Satan, if he is moderately competent, will compel him to eat healthful food while some guy with horn-rimmed glasses and a PhD explains, with infinite patience, the virtues of the NATO alliance.
