No one wants to eat with Donnie

[packman]

Donald Trump will become the first US president in nearly a century to end their first year without hosting a state dinner.

Running for office, the US leader criticised events like them, although they are viewed by many as as an important diplomatic tool. Often they include a showy arrival ceremony and an elaborate dinner at the White House.

Mr Trump disparaged former President Barack Obama for holding state dinners, and he was particularly critical when he Mr Obama held a state dinner during a 2015 visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping.

1. Saving up all monies allocated for state dinners to

host one hell of a shindig for Pootie.

2. But he could be economical and have it catered by McDonald's.

Big Macs and Fish Sandwiches for EVERYONE!!! And for your beverage selection - Diet Coke or Shakes.

3. But he loves to be the guest of honor

when he goes overseas. He brags about how they honor him with state dinners, parades, etc. He doesn't want anyone else to be the center of attention; hence no state dinners.

7. Right!

[TheBlackAdder]

10. BINGO!

[gratuitous]

4. At a state dinner, Donnie's not the center of attention

He likes it when other countries have a state dinner in his honor, but hosting one? Not so much.

14. Good point, he won't be the center of attention.

He cannot stand that I bet.

5. Would you want to get dressed up only to be served KFC and McDonald's?

6. If he could host them at one of his properties and make $$$$$ off of them, he would do so nightly

8. this...

Dump would only be interested if he was catering and making a killing off the event. Preferably at his stupid hotel, and not in the WH. There is no money to be scammed from this, so he will take a pass.

11. he loathes 'foreign food'

you know, squishy gooey things not eaten in Iowa but popular in the nations with billions of citizens.
How would his well done (burned) steak look next to exotic dishes that he is probably too afraid to try?
Ketchup, anyone?

12. He probably eats like a pig.

[kstewart33]

13. There's only one reason why he's ditching the state dinner.

No one would show up.

18. I bet the Kardashians would love to visit the white house.

If they turn him down, there's always the cast of Jersey Shore.

15. Trump is an embarrassment to us other Donalds. nt

16. I hope this forum isn't too old to understand this appropriate meme

[MurrayDelph]

17. He'd be glad to hold one

at Mar-a-Lago.
