Why use The White House executive chef, when the athletes can have cold mass-produced food? It's not weird. (dailysnark.com)

Has to be noted that the White house chef and the rest of the government employees were furloughed due to Govt shutdown. Still shit.

This is a perfect example of being completely right to be critical but for the wrong reason and the real reason is way worse.

Trumps ineptitude led to the white house staff being out of work without pay which had much larger real world consequences than some ball players eating a shitty meal.

How many of those furloughed workers kids missed meals entirely because of trumps fuck up? But there was no photo op at those kitchen tables.
