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.

Of course you haveYes... for several football games and to see my niece who graduated in accounting.
Of course you have![]()
I have...why?Haven't you ever gone to college football games?
I have...why?
My family is partial to Auburn, Ga Tech and SC Gamecocks.. My husband's family are partial to UGA and Clemson so we've been to a lot of games over the years.
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."

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 and Benefits
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.
Key Benefits
The governing law on presidential compensation provides her with a $50,000 expense account per year that is not taxed.
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.

Doesn't seem like enough to me.
THIRD thread started on this moronic claim today. Once again we see whiny low IQ snowflakes having TDS conniptions over Trump.

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.
Yeah, just what some kid always invisioned, getting invited to the White House thinking it was special and when arriving gets two minutes with the President who tells them what a spread he has put on of Big Macs, Whopers, and French Fries.
And on top of that Trump spends a minute of the two minutes to dribble out another one of his political rants, he didn't even take off his overcoat before he exited to greet the players
Guarantee those kids went away laughing
So you blew a guy to pass it?
