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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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.

I think what we find funny here is that it's McD.. You'd usually bring out fancier stuff for a head of state. You know, refined stuff made by a chef, not sloppy fast food.

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

McD is pretty much the height of American cuisine, lol.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

As a lifelong USian I have never seen a McDonald’s food truck in my entire life (yes we do food trucks here). Presumably because McDonalds already has a location anywhere that one could possibly want a shitty ripoff burger.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 78 points 13 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] 3 points 8 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (4 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.

Why don’t you dial back your Karen radar for one second and just let people speak normally online without some grammar/whatever Nazi come in here stirring up shit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

It is not grammar/whatever. They are two very different countries, it is like confusing Britain and France because you think all Europeans are the same.

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

God please if you are listening, free us from the french. We are tired to pretend their food and wines are superior. You can move them to Scotland, nobody understands scottish or french anyway, they will get along perfectly.

/s

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Spanish (that be what, Galician, Castillian, Catalonian, Basque, Andalusian?) people between themselves are as different as "German and Austrian". Actually the difference between Bavaria and Austria is in history and nation lore, not in dialects. Roughly. Of course there is dialectal difference too.

I guess you could say "Spanish and Occitan" for the comparison to be right.

OK, after "nordic and sweden" I looked for that "/s" and found it, sorry.

Don’t be :) have a laugh at the orange fuck for me

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] 8 points 8 hours ago

We elected Augustus Gloop, my dude.

[–] LMurch 10 points 11 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 78 points 15 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] 8 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 12 hours ago

is it an insult if they actually love it

[–] [email protected] 13 points 12 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 135 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

That's crazy and it will absolutely work.

[–] [email protected] 105 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

Qatar kicking themselves right now realizing they offered too much.

Mobile McDonalds is crazy work lmao

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 14 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.

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

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.
