With no cooks working the kitchen in the White House because of the government shutdown President Trump had to get a bit creative about how he was going to feed the 76 Clemson players who came to visit D.C. after winning the National Chammpionship last week.
News: Due to the government shutdown, President Trump is personally paying for the meals that will be provided to the Clemson team during their celebration tonight, CNN has learned. Trump said he's serving "McDonald's, Wendy's and Burger King's with some pizza." WH statement: pic.twitter.com/SAae2dSuMr

The White House is currently operating with a thinned-out staff caused by the government shutdown and inclement weather in DC. Much of the Executive Residence staff, ordinarily responsible for catering this stuff, are either furloughed or at home because of the snow closure.

We now have images of Trump and his staff serving platters of Big Macs and Filets O’Fish at the White House and they are amazing.

The silver serving ware under those Big Macs boxes really class them up a bit. WHAT?! Sweet and sour containers in a silver sauce serving dish is luxury at its finest. pic.twitter.com/VoVBKbFPYq

If this isn’t used as an advertisement for a $5 meal deal, I don’t know what your marketing department is doing.
Fast food + Trump holding up 5 fingers + Abraham Lincoln – It’s literally written for you.@Wendys | @McDonalds pic.twitter.com/eTXLAPbI0N
