WASHINGTON — Exactly one week after beating Alabama to win their second national championship in three years, the Clemson Tigers traveled to the White House on Monday for a celebration hosted by President Donald Trump.
And they were greeted with a buffet of fast food.
In the midst of the longest partial government shutdown in U. S. history, Trump welcomed coach Dabo Swinney, quarterback Trevor Lawrence and 75 other players with stacks of burgers from McDonald’s, Burger King and Wendy’s, among other assorted fast food.
Press secretary Sarah Sanders told a pool reporter that Trump personally covered the cost of the food because «the Democrats refuse to negotiate on border security» and «much of the residence staff at the White House is furloughed.»
«I had a choice,» Trump said in the East Room.
