It's no doubt that the Trump White House has been plagued with scandal. No matter what side of politics you're on, you can at least agree Trump is the most controversial president we've ever had. Unless you consider tan suits and mustard controversial.
But this week, the Internet was alight with a new, much more delightful scandal that everyone can laugh at. No, it wasn't anything to do with the longest government shutdown in history. No, it wasn't anything to do with the Russia investigation. It didn't even have anything to do with a tweet (well, sorta). This is truly Trump in his rarest form: Trump the party host.
Sure he's hosted Miss Universe for a weirdly long amount of time, and probably thrown countless soirees at his various properties, but it seems like this might be the first time someone let him throw his own little party with no help. At the White House no less. So what happened?
Well, everyone knows how much Trump loves McDonald's.
I mean, he was even in a McDonald's commercial back in the day.
"Together Grimace, we could own this town." Pence is just Grimace in a human suit confirmed.But no one thought his love of a Big Mac would go as far as it did this week.
It all comes off the backs of furloughed White House Chefs, and not having anything to feed NCAA football champions, Clemson, when they visited 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
For the first time in White House history, the guests of honor were presented with a selection of the very best fast food Washington has to offer.
The players were... surprised.
Here are some dipping sauces. I thought you would like them.
They didn't order enough fries so they had to divvy them up in these cute little white house water cups.
Trump went off to brag about his accomplishment on Twitter.
Burger King had a field day.
