Imagine having $300 billion and 12 kids and this is how you choose to spend the limited time you have.
USA didn’t vote for a female president for the first time but at least you now have a male first lady for the first time.
Do they a) have a McDonalds Kitchen on the plane b) eat warmed up Burgers and Frys c) eat lukewarm Burgers and Frys
or, possibly: d) all of the above

Trump loves McDonald’s. Remember the time he served it at the Whitehouse for some event?
The White House has one of the best chefs and kitchens in the world, and this dumbass will be ordering McD’s and KFC for 4 years.
I hope so. Less cost to the taxpayer, and the high calorie and sodium count will send Trump to an early grave.
The taxpayer doesn’t pay for his meals, actually. Came as a surprise to the Obamas they said once.
2014 link: https://www.theguardian.com/money/us-money-blog/2014/nov/28/obama-bill-white-house-thanksgiving
Didn’t look to hard for the Obama quote, but Nancy Reagan’s reaction is in that one.
Lol Trump doesn’t pay his bills. He still owes several cities from campaign rallies he held in like 2015. He’s infamous for not paying his bills, and was so for decades before he became president.
There is no chance that Trump paid for this.
I guarantee Trump finagled the taxpayer into paying to stuff his greasy pedo face and all of his chomo friends
I heard about the President being billed for services in an interview with Laura Bush.
White House chefs who prepare the president’s meals are paid by the government.
I am confused by this. He pays his meals, but the chefs are paid by the government? So he only pays for the ingredients?
Oh the McD orders will be on top of everything. The kitchen will just throw away a lot more food.
Do you want President Vance? This is how you get President Vance.
At least that mf would be predictable.
Would he? I’m terrified of his ability to double down on obvious bullshit even when presented with facts directly countering his claims.
As bad as Trump is, I’m almost more concerned about the people who saw his first clown show and thought either “I have got to get in on this” or " I can use this to accomplish my goals. "
I’d at least be fairly confident Vance wouldn’t seriously suggest nuking a hurricane.
In 4 years, though, I can bet Vance would leave if he lost the election. He doesn’t have the spine or charisma to do any showboating and grandstanding like tRump.
There is a cockroach effect for some people when it comes to medical matters, like cancer gets them instead of the other way around.
I’m not sure Vance is any better.
Not sure he’s any worse either. Ugh.
This was the exact sentiment that crossed my mind. The amount of money these dipshits have available and they’re eating that crap? I don’t even believe it. This HAD to be a photo op to make the idiots believe “Wow they eat what I eat” before they rolled in the burnt steak with ketchup and whatever else they actually prefer.
Nah it’s probably legit. Trump is famous for eating like trash. His usual order is reported to be two Big Macs and a Filet-o-fish, but I only see one Big Mac on his tray so maybe he’s on a diet.
He already scarfed down the others.
Trump actually loves McDonald’s and eats it all the time.
Hopefully the ecoli gets them all.
Trump probably hates vegetables. Probably takes out the pickles and then cries about it like a little kid when Ivanka forgets to order a burger without any vegetables. So he won’t eat those tainted onions and carrots.
Remember, this is the guy, who tried to sell steaks under his name, because “he knows steaks”, and also admitted to liking them well done with ketchup.
also admitted to liking them well done with ketchup
Oh. Oh god. What the fuck. And rural Americans voted for that? That’s Iike if Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel, and the pope thanked him while personally repainting the entire thing in an awful vomit-green color.
They are insulated from almost all facts about the fuckhead in chief.
Oh I’m sure he’ll have a nice well-done steak with ketchup every now and then.
(I died inside a little bit just typing that)
The White House has one of the best chefs and kitchens in the world,
And that’s why they are not going to eat any fast food, they are making ads
When 45 was in office, the WH kitchen staff complained that they were very under-utilized compared to other presidents.
Yeah, but what about the promotional and kick back opportunities lost? You have to think about profits…
the better to clog his arteries with.
Wait. Why would you think that? It’s a mildly prestigious post. Sure, it’s honorable, but it’s certainly not something that anybody with any type of creative flair would ever aspire to. It’s a labor of 24/8 type love.
Because I know that Andre Rush is a passionate chef. He’s well-known. Look him up!
They all look so happy, like kids having a birthday party in a giant ball pit.
This reminds me of so many comments from Americans saying how embarrassing Biden is as a president and that no one takes 🇺🇸’Murica🦅 seriously anymore under the Democrats. It was weird to read as a foreigner because I loosely remember what Trump was like. And now here we are again. Hope Americans are proud.
Nahhh… we’re pretty fucking disappointed… Least everyone I know with half a brain.
I wish I knew someone who was disappointed. The only two people in my life that aren’t Trumpers are my daughter and her fiance. Everyone else thinks that gas will get back to $1/gallon and food prices will return to pre Covid levels on Jan 21.
Sheeeesh, sorry to hear you’re living deep in the red. Proud of my state for being a spot of blue in a sea of red, but hot damn that election map was bleak.
It’s so wild how absolutely bonkers the political climate has become just in my lifetime. There was some real optimism when I got to vote for Obama as an 18 year old. Would’ve never seen all this coming…

Unfortunately, all this is pretty much a backlash to that event.
Yup. We elected the black guy (twice), and people lost their fucking minds.
Dude was a moderate, center-right, President, but none of that mattered. They spent 8 years fantasizing about lynching him.
And now this is our retribution.
Here’s an alternate theory:
Back then both parties tended to use the “slimy posh salesman” kind of deceit (half lies, misleading statements, promises left unfulfilled with twisted excuses given for it) and what happened was that Republicans, almost against their will (Trump was an outsider) stumbled upon the “strongman saying what people want to hear using straight talking language” technique of deceit.
It was a massive success because people had been fed the same kind of posh-saleman deceit (with pretty much all the media having gone along with it and turning into de facto propaganda outlets) for decades, found the new sort of discourse refreshing and comparatively trustworthy (even though it was still bullshit, just delivered differently, because it did not sound at all like the usual bullshit it seemed trustworthier to many and all the media that had chosen sides and gone along unquestionigly with the old style of deceit wasn’t trusted anymore so all their denouncing of the “other side’s lies” was ignored)
Whilst the Republicans did adjust to that unexpected success quickly, the Democrats did not and just kept using with their usual deceit techniques spread via the media-outlets to which lots of the electorate had built a resistance to, and acting to favour the usual people when in government.
So here we are today with a lying populist getting power for a second time in the American Two-Party system.
The thing is we had Obama and dem control of the legislature and we still didn’t get universal healthcare, or even basic shit like minimum wage indexed to inflation. It’s no wonder low-information voters think democrats suck at “the economy”.
I still think musk had something to do with it and not in a strictly legal way. Would explain how he has managed to stay close to the orange for so long unchecked.
I think it’s revealing that apparently as long as gas and eggs are okay, the country falling completely apart is secondary (to the voting majority).
Gas is the big one. I don’t hear as much complaining about food where I am.
The whole thing is going to look fucking stupid once EVs take off. Although I bet Trump will do everything to slow that once elected (even with Musk in his ear).
You know that they can just stop EVs from taking off, right? We elected an autocrat.
They can also stop infrastructure for it from being built, and perhaps even tear down existing infrastructure. Well, aside from the ones Tesla owns of course. At least until he and Elon have their falling out
My theory is that they will institute a tax on old products so that buying new items is the same or cheaper than buying new.
What will they think when those things don’t happen? Some conspiracy shit?
Cognitive dissonance - They’ll find some way to blame it on Biden/Harris/Newsom/Pelosi.
“Thanks, Obama!”
Biden will be taking the blame for all the problems over the next couple of years.
And Trump will take credit for the good policies that Biden implemented, if he manages to not fuck it up.
It’s those brown people in Iran! We better start another 20 year invasion!
Time to start beating your wife, she’s actively asking for it. If she’s your ex make sure to remind her that project 2025 wants to make her existence illegal.
It’s always projection with conservatives.
What is actually embarrassing is that the US elected Reagan, twice, then G.W Bush, twice, and now Donald Trump, twice.
As the great scholar Bush once said:
There’s an old saying in Tennessee — I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again
Prophetic.
Fool me one time, shame on you
Fool me twice, can’t put the blame on you
Fool me three times, fuck the peace sign
Load the chopper, let it rain on you
The first time I flew out of the US after Trump became president I was so embarrassed of being American because of all the questions about his crazy ass. When I landed back in the US and saw his portrait on the wall in the airport, I stared at it perplexingly trying to understand what the fuck his stupid face was doing there….then it hit me that it’s there cause he was the president. Trump is a laughing stock and him at the helm of the US makes all Americans laughing stock for allowing this country to elect an orange makeup-caked, lying, shyster.
So glad we get to do it again!!
Honestly, in my social circle we’re all kinda treating it like this… strange, self-inflicted, natural disaster. Like we can’t even really joke about it, still. It’s like we all know it’s gonna be bad, the only question is how bad it’s going to be. There’s a lot I’m hoping is over-reaction, but honestly that’s a pretty shitty thing to hope for and a hard hope to maintain all things considered.
Those were probably fake accounts
They are fucking wild honestly.
It’s a shame no one ever gave Elon Musk the “You’re good enough I guess, please stop calling your ex-wife, move on.” talk to end his midlife crisis…
Has the same vibes as homelander forcing the deep to eat the octopus.
what does that mean? who is the crappy hamburger in this comparison lol
Strap the fuck in, American people of the Fediverse. This table of lunatics is about to make your lives much harder and more dangerous.
Hate to say it, but the US isn’t the only country that is fucked. The impact is going to be felt worldwide and in a harsh way.
We’ll see how long places like Ukraine and Taiwan will last.
Ugh, the more I think about it the more I realize how bad it’s going to be.
There could be (rare) upsides. If they go through with 50% or higher tarrifs, electronics prices in EU might come down due to dumping.
oh, you guys are definitely getting dumped on.
I’m not sure if I want to put my hopes for affordable electronics in manufacturer’s accidentally oversupplying due to the US tariffs!
Yeah, climate change is global.
We’ll see how long places like Ukraine and Taiwan will last.
Last before what?
Annexation in whole or part by Russia and China respectively.
Going from an authoritatian police state to another doesn’t sound like much of a difference
Which one are you calling authoritarian police state? Ukraine, Taiwan, or both?
they are both authoritarian police states same as usa or russia
In fairness to him, he looks genuinely uncomfortable just holding it for this paid publicity shot. Not enough raw bear meat in it for him.
Boycott McDonalds, sponsors of Fascism 2025.
Yeah if RFK jr wasnt such a shitheel id feel bad for him, but he is infact a shitheel so I have only one want for him, suffering and pain.
I boycott McDonalds because of the salmonella.
I’ve never gotten food poisoning from them but lately it’s been the prices
I have said it before, and I’ll say it again: you can fault McD for a lot of things. You can argue that the products aren’t to your taste, or subpar in regards to nutrition. But food safety is something that the clown takes extremely serious.
I’ve gotten sick from burger king. Once I had to decide what I’d rather wipe off the floor, because it was coming out both ways after eating Carl’s Jr. But I’ve never been poisoned by McDonald’s, nor have I talked to someone who has either.
Last time I went on this rant, a former McDonald’s employee commented about food safety practices. They told how if you went to the bathroom and came back multiple people would ask you if you remembered to wash your hands. Not like this specific commenter, but that was just what they did to everyone. If you came in sick, you would be sent home with pay (I believe this was in the US, so it was actually extraordinary).
He’d probably be more enthused with that given he’s one of the nutty raw milk boys.
Such a low IQ photo.
Musk being best buds with the President of the USA is legit friggin’ scary, speaking as a foreigner.
Then you remember that Trump, and it becomes terrifying.
Then you remember that Trump, and it becomes terrifying.
then I remember that trump… what? I’m also “a foreigner” (meaning I don’t live in the shithole known as the US), but that’s an incomplete sentence
Probably meant that’s, or at least I read it that way
Nope, ‘that Trump.’ That Trump still exists, that he is president again, that he’s doing what he’s doing, or everything at once, so I just remember that Trump. To me, that’s enough.
I just love how this has become the most controversial thing I’ve ever posted on the internet =))
Have you ever heard someone say “I can’t even” as a complete statement? Seems like the same sentiment/vibe.
A real meeting of the mindless.
Elon’s far from mindless. He’s just a self-serving prick who would burn a country down to increase his stan- oh wait.
Yeah. Fuck.
He’s potentially the most dangerous person at that table. He doesn’t want power in the limelight - though he uses the limelight when he needs to, yes - he wants power behind the scenes. And he’s very good at getting what he wants. That much should be unambiguously clear.
And if gaining that power means helping a fascist fucking prick fuck gain dictatorial powers, well I don’t think he’d think twice.
Agreed that he’s not mindless, but he’s a far cry from “genius”. He’s just a lucky dipshit narcissist.
I mean unless he’s falsifying his own IQ scores he is “technically” a genius - but being intelligent doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a good person.
Or that you’re “right”.
IDK, I think Trump is still the most dangerous. He’s the most unhinged, and the Supreme Court recently ruled that he can’t be punished for any of the actions he takes as president. That combination makes him scarier than the others IMO.
You’re right, I was playing devil’s advocate to highlight that Elon is actually very detrimental to this country. Many people don’t take him seriously.
Republicans: We want to get rid of the elite in power.
Republicans:
Wow, I can say with confidence that this is the first time I’ve ever wished for a plane to crash. Just one patriotic pilot is all it would take.
I really don’t like that these shitstains make me feel such vitriol…
first time I’ve ever wished for a plane to crash.
He’ll go out the same way Joffery went out
To thunderous applause?
