Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

A black-tie dinner for the top buyers of Donald Trump's meme coin featured him speaking at a lectern emblazoned with the presidential seal, despite the White House arguing it was a "private" event on "personal time." But it was the entree that drew gasps.

After Wired reporter Matthew Champion posted a picture -- shared with him by one of the attendees -- of a sad plate of food served at the event, it didn't take long for the mockery to go into full swing.

"I've had better food on Spirit Airlines," snarked CNBC correspondent Steve Kovach, who was not at the event, referencing the discount airline.

Indeed, the photo showed a minuscule portion of food on the large, white-with-gold-leaf Trump plate. A handful of orange sticks -- perhaps carrots -- sat alongside a lonely slice of squash, while it appeared an ice cream scoop was used to add a dollop of yellow mashed potatoes on the dish. The small piece of halibut looked more like dry chicken, and the filet was covered in brown gravy but still appeared extremely overcooked.

While the top 25 on the list were invited to an "ultraexclusive private VIP reception," it appeared that the president only spent a short amount of time at the event and didn't even stick around to hand out prizes to the top purchasers of his cryptocurrency.

Hand out prizes.

The guy with a First Class ego pushes Economy Class gruel to his selective, elite guests.

This shows you what Trumpf really thinks of these 'marks.'

Cha-ching!

SO ON-POINT for Demential Don.

Extreme and obvious crime while simultaneously scrimping on the perks for the bribers/guests.

Perhaps the food was awful at the Trumpf National Golf Club because his underpaid, overworked illegal migrant workers were deported.

Did they check the expiry date? That thing has been in mothballs for a while.

#10 The plane was parked out on the tarmac in Qatar, which kept the food warm for months...

The people that bought the coin did so to be AT AN EVENT with Trump. They were not buying a Michelin star meal and it would be ridiculous to provide them with one. The reality is that liberals were going to bitch if he gave them a low class meal and would likely bitch even louder if he provided them a high class meal as they would portray that as a set up for a future money grab. The only constant in this world is liberal bitching about Trump - that is why your ideology is now being pushed aside by the American people. Your bitching is irrelevant outside of a small (and ever shrinking) group of hive-minded individuals.

No European airline is good compared to Asian airlines (like Singapore, EVA, etc) or even the Middle East airlines. Your stewards will either be weird homosexuals or 70 year old fat women angry they are still forced to work. European airlines are even bad by American standards, which have become flying ghettos staffed with societal losers that mistook a temporary stewardess job in their 20's for a lifelong gig now in their late 50s. The fact that you think Air France business class is good just goes to show how little you have actually experienced in the world.

Hope that 25 minute babbling speech before he split satisfied them.
