• Trump’s campaign: Big Macs, screaming fits and constant rivalries

[quote=Washington Post]Elton John blares so loudly on Donald Trump’s campaign plane that staffers can’t hear themselves think. Press secretary Hope Hicks uses a steamer to press Trump’s pants — while he is still wearing them. Trump screams at his top aides, who are subjected to •expletive-filled tirades in which they get their “face ripped off.” And Trump’s appetite seems to know no bounds when it comes to McDonald’s, with a dinner order consisting of “two Big Macs, two Fillet-O-Fish, and a chocolate malted.” The scenes are among the most surreal passages in a forthcoming book chronicling Trump’s path to the presidency co-written by Corey Lewandowski, who was fired as Trump’s campaign manager, and David Bossie, another top aide. The book, “Let Trump Be Trump,” paints a portrait of a campaign with an untested candidate and staff rocketing from crisis to crisis, in which Lewandowski and a cast of mostly neophyte political aides learn on the fly and ultimately accept Trump’s propensity to go angrily off message. “Sooner or later, everybody who works for Donald Trump will see a side of him that makes you wonder why you took a job with him in the first place,” the authors wrote. “His wrath is never intended as any personal offense, but sometimes it can be hard not to take it that way. The mode that he switches into when things aren’t going his way can feel like an all-out assault; it’d break most hardened men and women into little pieces.” The authors “both had moments where they wanted to parachute off Trump Force One,” but they said they got used to it. Lewandowski provides a largely admiring portrait of his former boss, saving the skewer for score-settling anecdotes about Paul Manafort, the former campaign chairman and rival whom Lewandowski blames for his ouster. The Post obtained an advance copy of the book, which is scheduled for release on Tuesday. In a section of the book written by Lewandowski, Trump is described as flying on his helicopter when he learns that Manafort has said “Trump shouldn’t be on television anymore, that he shouldn’t be on the Sunday shows” and that Manafort should appear instead. Trump was angrier than Lewandowski had ever seen him, ordering the pilot to lower the altitude so he could make a cellphone call. “Did you say I shouldn’t be on TV on Sunday? I’ll go on TV anytime I g--dam f---ing want and you won’t say another f---ing word about me!” Trump yelled at Manafort, according to Lewandowski. “Tone it down? I wanna turn it up! . . . You’re a political pro? Let me tell you something. I’m a pro at life. I’ve been around a time or two. I know guys like you, with your hair and skin . . .” Lewandowski called it “one of the greatest takedowns in the history of the world.”[/quote] [url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trumps-campaign-big-macs-screaming-fits-and-constant-rivalries/2017/12/02/18bcfa30-d6bd-11e7-b62d-d9345ced896d_story.html?hpid=hp_hp-more-top-stories_lewandowskibook-410pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory]Source[/url] jesus christ I don't even know where to start :v:

[quote]Elton John blares so loudly on Donald Trump’s campaign plane that staffers can’t hear themselves think.[/quote] I dunno, that doesn't sound so bad to me.
One really hopes he goes on a fuckfest filled tyrade one afternoon But then congress wont do shit to stop it either
[QUOTE=Cone;52943453]trump is a lizard person confirmed[/QUOTE] He looks more like a bullfrog. I can imagine him shedding his human form and staring at the moon some nights, croaking out “Wrooong, Wrooong, Wrooong...”
I want someone to record one of these outbursts man. Like, take one for the team.

[QUOTE={TFS} Rock Su;52943447]Big macs are horrendously small though.[/QUOTE] Dude I eat a ton and like big macs, but eating 2 plus 2 filet o fish is fucking gross and shouldn't be defended even if it wasn't Trump stuffing them down his face.

[QUOTE=Vodkavia;52943825]That's kinda immaterial considering they're 560 calories each. [img]https://i.imgur.com/GrwyLWB.png[/img] I slapped all of those items together into McNasty's nutrition calculator (substituting the chocolated malted with a large shake because I couldn't find the chocolate malted) and found out it's a miracle (tragedy?) that this guys lived to 71 years old eating this shit so often.[/QUOTE] So that's like... Nearly a whole day's worth of caloric value in a single sitting basically. Lmao.

What's shocking to me is someone who's grown up rich eats Mc Donalds as a main meal. On his personal campaign plane no less.
Eh, I don't see how eating McDonald's is weird. It's tasty and filling, and quite addictive, and Trump probably eats enough high-class meals that they're just normal to him, at least enough that he wants to eat something like McDonald's instead. But the way he behaves though, that's just fucking hysterical
McDonald's is garbage food that I would rather starve to death than eat and it's not a surprise that a godawful man like Trump is eating from a godawful food company like the golden arches.
[QUOTE=Bordellimies;52943975]It's tasty[/QUOTE] not really, no [QUOTE=Bordellimies;52943975]It's filling[/QUOTE] not really, no [QUOTE=Bordellimies;52943975]It's addictive[/QUOTE] this is correct, you could break a meth habit with that shit Anyways it doesn't surprise me that Trump horks down fast food like it's nothing, just look at the colossal oaf. How he's been alive this long is anyone's guess. His bloodstream is probably 60% vanilla ice cream by this point.
sometimes I feel Trump's presence is like a conglomeration of surreal american imagery and actions and the mcdonalds bit only hilariously adds on to that
[QUOTE=New Cidem;52944090]not really, no not really, no this is correct, you could break a meth habit with that shit Anyways it doesn't surprise me that Trump horks down fast food like it's nothing, just look at the colossal oaf. How he's been alive this long is anyone's guess. His bloodstream is probably 60% vanilla ice cream by this point.[/QUOTE] No offense, but that's a very crude way to look at things, food taste is entirely subjective. Also when I said it's filling, I didn't mean it as "it's healthy and a good sort of food to fill your stomach with", but I meant it satisfies your hunger well enough. Sometimes you're hungry enough that you don't care what you eat, as long as it's food.
[QUOTE=New Cidem;52944090]"Subjective things"[/QUOTE] That doesn't mean he is wrong. It's just that you are correct to your liking, relative to you. I like McD but I ain't telling you that you are wrong.
I know fast food is bad but have the people who whine about it ever left their fallout shelter and encountered life?
Honestly Mcdonalds is weirdly just as expensive for a shit non-filling meal, like say a large Big Mac as it is for me to get a takeaway delivered from the local who practically piles on good filling food (like enough to feed three people) for just around about as much as said large Mcdonalds meal. I don't know how the bastard does it, but I'll be damned if I care, so whenever I hear "it's cheap" I just scoff, it just ain't worth paying for a meal that feels like empty calories and is barely filling at all.

Sometimes you're hungry enough that you don't care what you eat, as long as it's food.[/QUOTE] If your definition of "filling" is simply "makes you not hungry", which is descriptive of literally [I]all food[/I] in the right quantity, then defining McDonald's food as such is pretty meaningless and is not a unique description to it. You may as well as say "the food is tasty and is food".
For the price of a McDonalds meal you can go to any number of other fast food places and get a schmorgasboard of food unless you’re ordering off the dollar menu. Or an actually good burger and fries
