Trump Just Bragged on Twitter That He Paid For Over 1000 ‘Hamberders’ for Clemson Football Team
Donald Trump took to Twitter on Tuesday to boast that he bought a lot of hamburgers for the National Championship winning Clemson football team.
Although Trump, with his “very, very large brain,” spelled hamburgers as “hamberders”.
Trump tweeted, “Great being with the National Champion Clemson Tigers last night at the White House. Because of the Shutdown I served them massive amounts of Fast Food (I paid), over 1000 hamberders etc. Within one hour, it was all gone. Great guys and big eaters!”
He has since corrected the tweet with the proper sleeping of “hamburgers.”

The Washington Post looked at photographs of the event that showed multiple angles of the massive spread of hamburgers, pizzas, chicken nuggets and french fries from various fast food chains including Burger King, McDonald’s and Wendy’s estimated the total cost to be $2,911.44.
Half of that money was spent at McDonald’s alone, the Post reports, though it notes that the cost drops, to $2,437.11
Some of the costs in the Post’s analysis were educated guesses, due to the unique setup of the dinner which included McDonald’s and Wendy’s fries being removed from their containers and placed in White House dishes.
Twitter had a field day:
So you spent $2000 on one of the only teams who would degrade themselves enough to visit you?
You are an alleged billionaire, and you are bragging about spending $2000. Jeff Bezos donated $2 Billion to the Homeless.

Trump just wanted to have all-you-can-eat fast food without the media criticizing him for being so unhealthy.

You got them food they could literally walk down the street from their house any day to get for themselves. And you served it cold.
But congrats on spending maybe $4000; that's not even a rounding error in the money the Secret Service has spent at your golf clubs.

I knew it. McDonald Trump intentionally fed the Clemson Tigers cheap fast food and gave some fake presentation to the media to troll the everyone as a propaganda stunt to highlight the shutdown. Never underestimate Trump. He’s the king of trolls.

You own a restaurant in DC. If you “paid” why didn’t you have them cater at cost instead of serving cold food?
