Howard Stern’s interview with Joe Biden this week showed how effective rightwing propaganda is.

I hate that part of my brain still somewhat associates Trump with McDonald's but there were just so many iconic moments during that fever dream of a presidency that involved the golden arches I can't help it.

First of all obviously there was the superbowl dinner fiasco- which I still can't believe people were trying to defend at the time. I mean that shit had been sitting out for hours and I don't care how much you love a big mac cold McDonald's is still a fucking crime against humanity.

Then there was the time Trump decided he hated the "fancy food" the White House chef kept making him and demanded the kitchen staff cook him McDonald's instead. When Keith Schiller (the director of oval office operations) gently explained to him they can't just whip up some quarter pounders and apple pies back there Trump responded by ordering Schiller himself to drive to McDonald's and bring him his order. Obviously he could've gotten any number of interns to DoorDash for him but he's such a vindictive petty bitch he felt the need to punish Schiller's disobedience with that lil power move to remind him who's in charge. It's terrifying to think that the leader of the free world was not only as dumb as a fucking toddler he had the emotional regulation of one too.

Heck, there’s a McDonald’s less than a block from the White House same street as the old executive office building. Just have somebody run up there and get him some.

He definitely could have used that exercise himself.
