The White House served its fast-food feast to the North Dakota State football team

Back in January, President Donald Trump served the national champion Clemson Tigers football team an array of lukewarm fast food.

At the time, the meal was controversial. The White House blamed the government shutdown’s effect on the kitchen staff (while still forgoing a catered meal from a legitimate restaurant) for the unusual food choice. There was also a meme with a fake quote attributed to quarterback Trevor Lawrence and strong criticism from Reggie Bush.

Now with the government shutdown over, the FCS national champion North Dakota State Bison were welcomed to the White House on Monday. They were still served cold fast food.

When explaining why he didn’t go with a chef-prepared meal this time, Trump said, “I know you people.”

"I know you people," Trump tells the North Dakota State football team, explaining why he did not offer them "chef-prepared food" and instead went for fast food.

We’ve been through this before, but football players don’t get to be elite athletes or large humans by eating fast food. They focus on nutrition and exercise. But hey, at least there was Chick-fil-A this time around.
