On Monday evening, President Donald Trump hosted the Clemson Tigers at the White House after the team became national college football champions. Trump personally purchased the food for the event – a massive offering of fast food items from McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, and Domino’s. Naturally, Leftists knocked him for his food choice.
Even dumber, some media outlets actually felt the need to fact check the buffet.
The Washington Post did – I kid you not – a deep dive into the banquet to try and determine how much it all actually cost, complete with a “Detailed Washington Post analysis” of the spread. The chart of the layout of the food was most likely meant to be humorous.
Nonetheless, after the Post determined that Trump likely spent between $2,437.11 and $2,911.44 on the feast, depending on whether he took advantage of McDonald’s 2-for-$5 menu, the outlet had to take some spiteful dings at the president. The Post notes that Trump originally said he bought 300 hamburgers, but later said he bought “1,000” burgers and later, “over 1000 hamburgers etc.”
SERIOUSLY? Media Outlets Actually Fact-Checked Trump’s Fast Food Banquet
