    I mean, also the food tastes like it was made for dogs not people, but yes there are many reasons to avoid giving patronage to most any fast food company.

          It’s all about optics. “Hey he eats shit fast food just like me, I bet he’s a really normal guy”

          I read a theory a while back that Trump only eats McDonald’s so often because it prevents him from being poisoned, but in this case it’s also like “hey you’re the richest dude in the world, here’s a quarter pounder, you work for me.” Everything to the wealthy and powerful is about feeling more powerful than the others in the room

            Prevents poisoning only insomuch as other people won’t bother adding more poison to your food.

            Can’t make it much worse for you.

          I’m 99% sure that Dorito Mussolini had a mini McDonald’s installed in Air Force One. There’s no bags, they have dine-in trays, and bottled soda because they couldn’t put a fountain machine in a plane.

            I don’t think that’s air force one. My guess is they just had some staff on the private plane plate the burgers and fries using the normal plates and trays they’d serve any meals on and had them leave the bags in the back but leave the individual packaging for the food items so they could virtue signal eating the same food their fan club eats.

            Another possibility is some high end chef was told to prepare burgers and fries and then use McDonald’s packaging as a part of the presentation.

              It’s not AFOne. Most likely his favorite plane, the one that was formerly owned by Jeffrey Epstein.

      My dogs do love McDonalds. You might be on to something.

      I wouldn’t feed it to them because I love my dogs and want them to live at least relatively healthy. But they’d love it if I would.

        I admire your restraint as I’m sure it would be infectiously joyous to watch them scarf down a hamburger

          My two younger dogs love going for rides, like to the point that I have to get a family member to distract them if I grab my keys. The only way I can get them to not be sad and depressed when I get home from leaving without them is to bring them chicken nuggets. It got way too expensive doing that in the hot summer months when they can rarely go with me, so I had to start making my own and keeping them in the freezer for them to have when I get home. Lmao
