The scent of burgers, fries, and victory wafted through the stately White House on Monday as President Trump saluted college football's Clemson Tigers for winning the national championship.
Trump, a fast food lover, said he paid for their meal himself because of the partial government shutdown. He did not disclose the tab.
"We ordered American fast food, paid for by me. Lots of hamburgers, lots of pizza," Trump said after returning to the White House from a trip to New Orleans.
"We have some very large people that like eating, so I think we're going to have a little fun." A highly unusual White House smorgasbord greeted the players, the AP reports.
Silver trays held stacks of wrapped burgers from Wendy's.
