Trump humiliates Clemson Tigers w/burgers ~ NFL super star ponies up lobsters

[kudzu]

We don't pay for their food, Presidents pay for their own food. So, it wasn't our tax dollars that he used to give "kids" Big Macs, et al.

They pay for their own food but I'm pretty sure they have a budget for entertaining.

See? this is working out nicely for the team...they're going to get all kinds of extras... (if Strahan does lobsters for the team, I'd love to see the bill...No single lobster tail for those guys...unless you want them to leave hungry and have to stop off at McDonald's on the way home..plus, he'll have to fly them out

The Clemson Football team has had their burger buffet and pizza at the White House Monday, thanks again President Trump, and now might get a second dinner for winning their second national championship in the last three seasons.

Pro Football Hall-of-Famer and Good Morning America host Michael Strahan has invited Clemson for another feast for the champions of college football.

"I personally would like to invite the Clemson Football team here for a great meal," Strahan said Tuesday on GMA Day. "Come out here, whoever can make it. We will have lobster. Whatever you want. We gonna take care of you. We gonna give you the proper meal that you deserve because that was one great game, a great accomplishment. We thought what we could give them; I thought lobster was great. It's out of my pocket. I got you guys. I'll pay for it. No problem. Those guys deserve it. Congratulations."

The only ones complaining about the food are the lefties that hate Trump. Seems the Clemson players/coaches had no problem with it and they, not some gap toothed whiner, are the only ones that matter. Just another example of a left winger thinking they know more about what someone should do than those doing it.

What did Obama serve the players?

You tell us Asshole!

We aren't here to educate you!

Trump is an asshole, and his "meal" was a disgrace.

Despite my remaining resentment about the Giants ruining our perfect 2007 season, kudos to Mr. Strahan for showing up the criminal president.
The diseased orangutan and his 63,000,00 pathetic sycophants deserve nothing but contempt.

Nope. Part of the reason the Clintons actually owed money when they left, before their book deals paid all of it and more, is they pay for things like hourly wages for waiters, cleanup crews, etc.

I'm not sure this Clemson thing was a private party (which they would pay for), but at this time the money for some employees at the WH is part of the shut down. Now, if Trump is a Billionaire he should be able to afford better catering for appearances, but this party likely came directly from his pockets.

Salary
The salary for the president is set by law. The 2018 salary for the president is $400,000. This salary is double the amount paid to the president before 1999, when the law was amended. George Bush was the first president to receive the increased salary, up from $200,000. Presidential salaries have been raised periodically throughout the history of the country, with our first president, George Washington, receiving $25,000. The president's salary is taxable income, just like the paycheck of every other American.

The president also receives an untaxed annual allowance of $100,000 for travel expenses and an entertainment allowance of $19,000.

The president and family live in the White House and don't pay rent or the electric bill, but they are billed monthly for their own food and personal expenses such as dry cleaning. The president has unlimited access to the Camp David property owned by the United States.

You should also consider that Trump donates his salary. And yeah, $19K for entertaining isn't much considering what we expect from them. I'm still surprised that Trump, who wants to keep up appearances more than most, chose McDonald's and such for this.
