Donald Trump orders McDonald's for football champions as shutdown cuts staff

Staff absences at White House see president set the menu, and unsurprisingly he picked a Big Mac buffet

Any champion football player disappointed with Monday's dinner at the White House can blame Democrats, according to a presidential spokesman.

Clemson University's football team on Thursday joined Donald Trump for dinner to celebrate their win over Alabama in the College Football Playoff National Championship. However, the government shutdown has left much of the White House staff furloughed, forcing the president to set the menu, the spokesperson said.
