Most of the White House food staff had been furloughed due to the shutdown

So Trump decided he would feed the Clemson Tigers a meal of “great American food,” which included McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Burger King, and Domino’s.

On Monday night, the president of the United States hosted a college football team for dinner at the White House.

The Clemson Tigers were invited to meet President Trump after defeating the Alabama Crimson Tide in the national championship game. The team was expected around 6 p.m., but because of the partial government shutdown most of the White House food staff had been furloughed.

apparently there was a social media tempest over this, claiming that trump was racist and disrespectful of the clemson guys

and now, the other side of the story:

Clemson Star QB Trevor Lawrence Says Trump’s Fast Food Banquet ‘Was Awesome’ Despite social media meltdown, others call White House meal 'most American' and 'brilliant' It turns out that not everyone was so quick to bemoan the White House’s “fast food banquet” when President Trump treated a roomful of college football national champions, the Clemson Tigers, to “1,000 hamburgers” out of his own pocket. Quite the contrary, Clemson star quarterback Trevor Lawrence couldn’t get enough McDonald’s Big Macs, fries, and pizza, and says that he “wants to do it again.” https://www.theepochtimes.com/clems...pV4DtNatHPBpQZbj3bjGtOGtzichKVw7gRuKB7q_eZZGc
