The visit isn't about the food there are a lot of things that should be great about it the visit the food is just one thing but it's still a thing. Like with a lot of things both the media and President are at fault for us having to see this stuff everywhere. The media for fixating on stupid ***** and the President for parading it around. Hey! When I was that age a bag of Doritos Nacho Cheese chips was a gourmet dinner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They love fast food and many were grabbing 3 or 4 or 5 Whoppers, Big Macs, etc. They all had their phones out taking pics. https://www.courant.com/sports/college/hc-sp-clemson-fast-foot-trump-mcdonalds-20190115-20190115-opqragfuijgdtnhaddqdcbhw5u-story.html Edited January 17, 2019 by from_dunkirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read a little bit more than the first 2 sentences. BK’s parent company is now based in Canada (RBI also owns Tim Hortons.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) 6 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: Everyone I saw comment said they were never fed. One team said they got a generic box lunch at a random DC office (not the WH). Plus college kids like this type of food, no? Is the visit really about the food? I’m lost. But also don’t care. Unfortunately it’s all over every radio and tv show. When I was in Washington on an official diplomatic visit last year the only place we got decent food laid on was at a think tank. The Federal Gov Departments either provided stale sandwiches or just coffee and not even good coffee. We didn't visit the White House but if we had and Mr Trump had laid on McDonalds I'd have been very satisfied.

It wasn't a controversy. You think all those standford players are academic all stars? I am talking about admission requirements and which schools compete against which for talent. Stanford competes against Duke and Northwestern among big time D1 schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are good schools but I in terms of good their academics and sports are and what the standards they hold their athletes to, I would say Stanford has the best student athletes in the country at the D1 level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
