Partgypsy Talk about poor planning. Trump buying fast food hamburgers on his own dime because of school team winners visiting during the time of the shut down (he knew about and created). Don't get me wrong, fast food hits the spot at times. But not when sitting on a table for half an hour.
Trump first said he paid for 300 hamburgers then in another interview said he paid for 1,000 hamburgers. Is this new math? Trump bought 300 burgers, then it turned into 1,000 burgers. Where did the 700 extra burgers come from? Must be magic burgers. Oh, and the team ate it all in one hour.
This is typical of DJT - he blatantly lies about numbers whenever it suits him. He's lied about the number of stories on his buildings, about the number in attendance at his inauguration, about how his own fortune, his charitable donations, his height, his weight, the number of people at his rallies, the size of his golf courses, about being 'Person of the Year' (before 2016), about the size of his tax cuts...
In sum, he inflates the numbers to make him appear 'better' than he actually is, and lately these have been fact-checked to death, but he doesn't seem to care, and neither do his supporters.
Curiously, he also said that the
300 1,000 burgers would reach 'a mile into the sky' if stacked on top of one another. Um, that's just stupid; assuming it even *was* 1,000 burgers (it wasn't), each burger would need to be 5'3" thick (63"). A big mac is only 2.75" thick. If we are only dealing with Big Macs (which I believe are the tallest of the choices offered) one would need 23,040 Big Macs to reach 1 mile stacked end-to-end. That would be over 200 for each invited guest, or 110,000 calories per person, not including fries. Sure, here he was certainly speaking hyperbolicaly, but 300 burgers stacked end-to-end would have been about 68 feet tall. Color me unimpressed.
