Trump probably hasn't eaten a vegetable his whole life. Now if it was an increase on a KFC bucket of chicken, this would not happen.
Having worked at McDonald’s I imagine he’s one of the “no pickles, no onions, no lettuce, no tomatoes, add bacon, extra bacon, extra mayo” guys.
And no salt on the fries during rush when the fries are already fresh + multiple salt packets.
I didn't even know you could order fries that way.
Technically, he likes ketchup on his steak I thought so does that count as a vegetable?
It mainly counts as corn syrup. Have you ever had Canadian ketchup? It's so much better tasting
Out of all his war crimes, this one might be the worst
It is condiment, so no, but probably the closet to one he has ever come.
Yes, and he eats grass fed beef, it counts as vegan.
Trump doesn't pay for shit so why would he care how much food costs?
But he invented the groceries word!
