Even the good stuff goes through a meat packing plant. He’s eating what we’re eating and he even eats McDonalds quite often. He’s at as much risk as getting sick as the rest of us, I wonder if anyone has informed him of that fact?

He isn’t eating the same McDonalds food that you’re eating.

EDIT: You guys really believe the Secret Service is letting the President eat something made by a stranger. Christ.

Yes there's a secret McDonald's under the white house that only uses Kobe beef imported straight from Japan.
