The Twit tweets: "I served them massive amounts of Fast Food (I paid), over 1000 hamberders"

Great being with the National Champion Clemson Tigers last night at the White House. Because of the Shutdown I served them massive amounts of Fast Food (I paid), over 1000 hamberders etc. Within one hour, it was all gone. Great guys and big eaters!

About 120 players, max, if everyone made it. Absolutely no way you could have 80 coaches, and hangers on. So he's claiming that each and every one ate over 5 "hamberders" along with nuggets, salads and fries.

What a fucking moron.

plus fries and soft drinks and a few other items from Wendy's will be $10 - $15 per meal. So, $3,000 to $4,500, not including a delivery charge. Wendy's doesn't deliver AFAIK.

Hiring a caterer for 150 people to deliver one nice meal each would be what, maybe $50 per head? Even if we double that to $100 per head, we're talking $7,500 to $15,000 in total. Plus, the meal will be hot and prepared on site. With hot food, Lil Donny gets more time to make a political statement.

For a big occasion, is an extra $5,000 to $10,000 too much for Mr Billionaire Big Bucks?

There often are a number of threads on the same topic in General Discussion - people log in at different times, posts slip down or off the first page, folks want to highlight different aspects, and some, it has to be said, don't check whether a similar post has been made earlier.

There's no rule against multiple posts on the same subject in most of the forums and groups - it only applies in Latest Breaking News.

Some have catchier titles than others, so they tend to get more eyes and replies, so keep being kicked to the top of the page.

If you're fed up seeing posts on the same topic, there are account tools like the Trash Can > Auto-trash by Keyword, which in theory means you won't see posts containing a certain keyword ever again unless you undo the auto-trash, and the Thread Trash Can (triggered by clicking on the little x in a box after each post title), which means you won't see that particular post again.

It’s not worth the distraction but I’d love to see the receipt showing 300 or 1000 ham-birders and that he paid.
