His preference for McD stuff just confirms how tasteless Trump is.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 hours ago

I am expecting big business to send prostitutes as their representatives to Trump when they want something. Flirtation, boobs, and so forth are more than enough to make Trump sign away everything that America has.

“Strap it to my new plane.”

I know it's fun to use this sort of thing to bag on the Saudis and on Trump, and I'm a fan of neither, but just wanted to point out that this kind of thing is pretty common.

It's just a food truck. Sure it's a bit bigger than your average food truck, but that are catering to larger crowds. I've seen these at events across Europe, and in Australia. I'm sure there's plenty trundling around the States as well.

What a fucking pig, and the entire world sees it.

next uae will make a mobile mcdonalds airship that comes with drones to deliver without landing.

[–] [email protected] 70 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

I love how the saudis are treating the orange shitbag like a toddler.

“Do you want the plane that goes brrrr? We put the big screen to watch foxy newsy :)”

“Oh oh do you hear this sound? Yes! It’s the mcdonny truck! Choof choof!”

*Arabs not Saudis. The plane thing is from Qatar.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

Apologies. Arabs felt too generic and I was hoping nobody will notice. :)

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (2 children)

Qatar is not Saudi Arabia, in fact there was a huge feud and blockade between the two not too long ago. Do you think all Arabs are the same? They even speak different dialects with different phonologies.

Woah woah, hold your horses cowboy 🙌 I was tryin to be funny. No of course no, I lived with arab people in an arab neighbourhood, I’m well aware.

That said tho…….

Gulf countries are very similar I’ve been told (never been). Kinda like german and austrian people, spanish and italian, nordic and sweden, scottish and irish people. Indistinguishable. /s

The fat american needs his shitty fat american food or he won't be a happy little piggy. They must be laughing their fucking asses off.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 hours ago

We elected Augustus Gloop, my dude.

[–] LMurch 9 points 8 hours ago

And when a Trump's face lit up with glee, it only made them laugh harder.

[–] [email protected] 70 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

That is the slyest insult possible.

Here you demented rapist pig, eat some of your cheap ass greasy snoutmeat patties out of a box! You like that don't you! Yeah you do! Yeah you do!

It's 100% guaranteed to work.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

And the best part of it is that they're too dumb to understand it's an insult

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Hell, they'll look them straight in the eye with greasy lips smiling wide and sincerely say, "Thank you."

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 hours ago

is it an insult if they actually love it

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 hours ago

lol nothing says "Trump is our bitch now" better than this

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 hours ago

Mobile McDonalds is crazy work lmao

[–] [email protected] 128 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

That's crazy and it will absolutely work.

[–] [email protected] 100 points 14 hours ago (3 children)

Qatar kicking themselves right now realizing they offered too much.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

"We could have just bought him a Big Mac..."

[–] LMurch 2 points 8 hours ago

Yeah but, Mcdonalds is pricey now, you're making a commitment either way, plane or supersized #1.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

A empty wrapper with a little sauce on it would be enough

Shame Trump has a poor taste in food. Local cuisine is infinitely tastier and healthier. Okay maybe not much healthier.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Why bother? .... just fly the dirt bag to Arizona and tell him he's in Riyadh ... go visit a local mosque or something ... he won't know or care ... snap a photo and tell him and all his MAGA morons that he was in Riyadh and had a McD's there

It's not like these idiots like to follow reality anyway.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Wasn't one of his reasonings that its so predelant that you can get a mcdonald's anywhere at a drop and no one would be able to do anything to your food because they Wouldn't know which one you would use.

So now there will be one mcdonald's in the whole country they know he will use... Not very safe anymore.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

Saudi Arabia wouldn't dare do anything to Trump when it hosts and is surrounded with US bases and troops.

Who wants to bet on which country will pull out all the stops and just have someone there to suck his dick?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 hours ago

You think it works still? He's a morbidly obese old man

[–] [email protected] 32 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

A country where the age of majority is less than 18. So they can find someone young enough for trump's liking

[–] [email protected] 12 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Keep an eye out for Ivanka look-a-like contests

[–] [email protected] 6 points 12 hours ago

I wish we all didn't know how true this was. But it is.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

You mean like the vast majority of the world and all but 10 US states? Don't look up age of consent. For god's sake don't look at Western Europe.

(You meant "age of consent", not "age of majority".)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

What's the problem if two teenagers have sex?

It's only that low in Europe between the same age group. If a 30 year old bangs a 14 year old, (s)he will go to prison

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

In Saudi Arabia you can't be legally married before 18, so that's effectively the age of consent.

Isn't this the same administration that declared meals on wheels to the poor elderly was waste, fraud, and abuse?

It's obvious dear leader needs to get his favorite sandwich the Filet O' Fascism.

And wash it down with a Sham(of a presidency) Shake.

Does he actually like that crap? I thought it was a show because he thought his base would eat up him liking that crap as well as making the elites who are used to 5 star chefs eat that cheap shit at white house events.

Unless this is also part of that act and they'll make a show of ordering and sending some intern to pick it up and verbally abuse the workers, and then maybe make the interns eat it while he actually eats good food.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Trump actually loves it, not a joke. He's obsessed because, for a long time, fast food was cleaner. Unfortunately Trump's image of McDonald's and other fast food is stuck in 1960

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

During his first term, if you were invited to the Whitehouse, there was a better than even chance he'd have a stack of McDonald's burgers there to serve you.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

I mean he puts ketchup on steak so Im not sure if he cares what the ketchup is on as long as its dry and tasteless

[–] [email protected] 13 points 15 hours ago
