Twitter Users Can't Agree If Serving Fast Food At White House Is A Good Thing

Updated

President Donald Trump is known as polarizing, and now so is the menu for his meeting with the Clemson University football team.

The president is celebrating the Tigers’ national championship Monday evening by serving up fast food from some of America’s biggest chains.

“I think we’re going to serve McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Burger Kings with some pizza,” he said of the menu planned for the Monday gathering. “I really mean it. It will be interesting. And I would think that’s their favorite food. So we’ll see what happens. But they’re coming tonight, the national champions, subject to the weather.”

The menu heated up a lot of comments on Twitter. Naturally, some weren’t impressed.

Some people imagined what was going on behind the scenes.

Others compared the menu to what might have been served during the last administration.

Some people were afraid to criticize the meal, not because they were afraid of Trump, but because they feared getting called out by Wendy’s on Twitter.

Another person thought Wendy’s had a good reason to clap back at the president.

One person suspected that the president got advice on the menu from a previous chief executive.

Taco Bell

Want a side of Nachos Supreme with your Mexican Pizza? That’ll run you exactly 1,000 calories. Pick one or the other, or complement one of them with a Fresco Soft Taco, which contains 160 calories or less. <em>Photo Credit: Taco Bell</em> <a href=" https://www.thedailymeal.com/eat/what-does-1000-calories-look-different-fast-food-chains-slideshow?utm_source=huffington%2Bpost&utm_medium=partner&utm_campaign=calories" target="_hplink"><strong>Click Here to See More of What Does 1,000 Calories Look Like at Different Fast Food Chains</strong></a>

KFC

One breast, thigh, drumstick, and wing – in other words, a half fried chicken – clocks in at 870 calories, and if you decide to splurge on one more wing that’ll put you above the 1,000 mark. Instead, go for either the breast (320 calories) or the thigh (290 calories), or even better, opt for the Kentucky Grilled Chicken; a breast, wing, drumstick, and thigh contains only 560 calories. <em>Photo Credit: Getty Images News/Thinkstock</em>

Chipotle

Want your carnitas burrito topped with rice, beans, and guacamole? Then expect to eat right around 1,000 calories. If you’re looking to make your burrito as healthy as possible, skip the add-ons like cheese and sour cream and load up on the vegetables or, even better, for a burrito bowl, which forgoes the 300-calorie tortilla completely. <em>Photo Credit: Chipotle</em> <a href=" https://www.thedailymeal.com/eat/what-does-1000-calories-look-different-fast-food-chains-slideshow?utm_source=huffington%2Bpost&utm_medium=partner&utm_campaign=calories" target="_hplink"><strong>Click Here to See More of What Does 1,000 Calories Look Like at Different Fast Food Chains</strong></a>

Shake Shack

A Single Shackburger at Shake Shack contains 490 calories. Should you decide to top it off with a root beer float or creamsicle float, you’ll be right at 1,000 calories. A Single Cheeseburger contains 50 fewer calories than a Shackburger. Replace the float with an unsweetened iced tea—it’s calorie free. <em>Photo Credit: Flickr/ John</em>

White Castle

A White Castle Original Slider contains 140 calories, so if you decide to down seven of them in a sitting, that’s 980 calories. They may look small, but they definitely add up. Stick to a few (I know, it’s not easy). And while the new Veggie Slider may be vegetable based, it actually contains 10 more calories than the Original. <em>Photo Credit: White Castle</em> <a href=" https://www.thedailymeal.com/eat/what-does-1000-calories-look-different-fast-food-chains-slideshow?utm_source=huffington%2Bpost&utm_medium=partner&utm_campaign=calories" target="_hplink"><strong>Click Here to See More of What Does 1,000 Calories Look Like at Different Fast Food Chains</strong></a>
