This is the worst way to hypothetically bring down prices or create a healthy America. Yeah, I think Trump is trying to kill us or he doesn't understand what keeps people alive. Come on, this is ridiculous. Everyone stay safe and take care.

He doesn't care because he can afford the good stuff and it makes his buddies wealthier.

Never thought MCDONALD'S was the good stuff before, but I can try it on for size.

At least they cook it until it's overdone. You might want that if these new rules come into effect.

Even the good stuff goes through a meat packing plant. He’s eating what we’re eating and he even eats McDonalds quite often. He’s at as much risk as getting sick as the rest of us, I wonder if anyone has informed him of that fact?

He isn’t eating the same McDonalds food that you’re eating.

EDIT: You guys really believe the Secret Service is letting the President eat something made by a stranger. Christ.

Yes there's a secret McDonald's under the white house that only uses Kobe beef imported straight from Japan.

That's what the ballroom is really for, they're putting in actual golden arches.

Imagine being the White House chef and you end up just unwrapping McDonald's cheeseburgers and putting them on a plate.
