    He basically did what anyone else would do if they have an unexpected visit and no food in the house.

    And this would be understandable if he were a middle class housewife. But this is the US president, during a shutdown caused by Trump. There should have been any number of restaurants that would have dropped everything to fill an order for the White House. This entire episode was just an embarrassment.

      A middle class family couldn’t afford this much McDonald’s. They’d also have more taste and class than to serve this.

      Agreed they could call many restaurants that offer catering. Or, he, his wife, or any of his adult children could have made a home cooked meal for stellar optics instead of this travesty.
