No Shows

So, the 2 funniest stories of last week feel oddly connected. First, we have Trump hosting a White House dinner for College Football Champs, the Clemson Tigers, and feeding them fast food, which…I mean there is just no way that wasn’t going to turn into a big national joke. Then the very next day, you have news coming out that Trump tried to circumvent Nancy Pelosi by inviting House Democrats to lunch, but like the weird kid in class throwing a birthday party, no one showed up. Now, the obvious reason behind that is that the Dems are making a show of solidarity, and the fact is that what Trump wants is unreasonable, and no one wants to give it to him. But a part of me wants to believe that no one showed up because they didn’t want Trump feeding them leftover Big Macs and Whoppers. Best case scenario, Trump orders an entirely new batch of fast food. I know he says it’s because he doesn’t have a kitchen staff during the shutdown, but let’s be real: It’s no great secret that Trump loves him some fast food. He must love that he has any kind of excuse to mow down on that greasy, artery clogging goodness.
Food Assistance

So, Trump wants to give people food boxes instead of food stamps. Beyond the logistical nightmare of implementing this idea, it is shortsighted in a number of ways, presupposing that everyone who receives these benefits have the luxury of working kitchens and taking away the element of choice. Though the argument against choice is the healthier options the program would be handing out, as opposed to the more economically minded people who forgo healthier items for stretching their dollars out and getting the most use out of the money they have. But at the end of the day, isn’t it a little absurd that Donald Trump is attempting to regulate the healthiness of anyone’s meals?
