“We’ve got Big Macs, We’ve got Quarter Pounders, we’ve got everything that I like and you like,” the president said.
On the menu were meals from McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Burger King and Domino’s Pizza.
French fries were served in little White House cups. The smell of fries hung over the East Room.

Because the Democrats refuse to negotiate on border security, much of the residence staff at the White House is furloughed – so the president is personally paying for the event to be catered with some of everyone’s favorite fast foods,” Huckabee Sanders said.
Trump told reporters outside the White House that he had paid the bill.
“We have some very large people that like eating,” Trump said. “So I think we’re going to have a little fun.”
At the event, Trump marveled at quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
