Trump's obsession with fast food doesn't end with himself. In fact, he appears to be pretty set on making everyone else eat it, too. In January 2019, Trump experienced one of the most iconic and notorious moments of his presidency, when he served an entire banquet of fast food to the national-championship-winning Clemson Tigers football team visiting the White House.
Due to a government shutdown, the residence staff at the White House couldn't come into work. This meant that Trump's team had to send out for a mountain of junk food, paid for by Trump himself. He even mocked the idea of having a healthier option.
President Trump insisted that the meal — which was served buffet-style and which the President described as "patriotic" — amounted to a total of 1,000 hamburgers. In the end, closer to 300 were served.
The banquet was roundly mocked in the media.
In March 2019, long after the government shutdown ended, Trump repeated his banquet stunt, serving a feast of Big Macs and Chick-fil-A sandwiches to a football team visiting from North Dakota.
