Trump greets Clemson Tigers with fast-food buffet of Wendy's, McDonald's, and Burger King as they celebrate their national championship
- Trump hosted the Clemson Tigers on Monday to celebrate the team's national championship.
- For dinner, Trump served the team a wide-ranging buffet of fast food options, including reportedly 300 burgers.
- Pictures from the bizarre event are now making the rounds on Twitter.
On Monday the Clemson Tigers took part in a White House visit to celebrate their national championship win over the Alabama Crimson Tide.
While some might have expected a fine steak dinner would serve a team full of football players well, Trump announced on Monday morning that the team would be greeted with a wide-ranging buffet of fast food options to celebrate their hard-fought victory.
"I think we're going to serve McDonald's, Wendy's, and Burger Kings with some pizza," Trump told reporters outside the White House. "I really mean it. It'll be interesting."
Trump made good on his promise, proudly displaying a sea of burgers for the players to indulge in later that night.
"The President wanted to host a fun event to celebrate the College Football National Champion Clemson Tigers," White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement.
"Because the Democrats refuse to negotiate on border security, much of the residence staff at the White House is furloughed - so the President is personally paying for the event to be catered with some of everyone's favorite fast foods."
Around 300 burgers were set out for the players to eat, according to White House pool reports.
Pictures from the even were perplexing, to say the least.
Hilariously, Clemson's favorite fast food, Chick-Fil-A, was nowhere to be found.
