川普声称自费买了1000个汉堡?但这数字好像虚报了
Donald Trump laid on hundreds of burgers amid a feast of fast food for Clemson University's football team at the White House on Monday evening. Amid a government shutdown now in its 25th day – the longest in history – many presidential staff remain furloughed, forcing Mr Trump to set the menu for the visit of the Clemson Tigers, who won the national championship last year. Mr Trump, a fast food lover, said he even paid for their meal himself. He did not disclose the tab. An impressive – and highly unusual – White House smorgasbord greeted the players. Silver trays held stacks of wrapped burgers from Wendy's. Also on offer were boxed burgers from McDonalds' , including Big Macs. Asked what his favourite food on display was, Mr Trump, stood in front of an 1869 portrait of Abraham Lincoln, told reporters: “I like it all, it's all good stuff. Great American food … I like em all, if it's American I like, it's all American stuff, but it's good stuff.” He continued: “But I'll bet you as much food as we have – we have pizzas, we have 300 hamburgers, many many french fries, all of our favourite foods – I wanna see what's here when we leave, because I don't think it's gonna be much.” Mr Trump later praised himself for selecting the menu, and upped the number of burgers he claimed to have provided from 300 to 1,000. “I had a choice – do we have no food for you or do we give you some little quick salads that the first lady will make along with … the second lady,” Mr Trump said, according to Yahoo News. “I said you guys aren't into salads. Or, do I … go out and send out for about 1,000 hamburgers. So that's what we did.” |
