As the Saudis work to impress Trump during his trip to Riyadh this week, they're focusing on even the smallest details—like his fondness for the Golden Arches.

    I am expecting big business to send prostitutes as their representatives to Trump when they want something. Flirtation, boobs, and so forth are more than enough to make Trump sign away everything that America has.

    Why bother? … just fly the dirt bag to Arizona and tell him he’s in Riyadh … go visit a local mosque or something … he won’t know or care … snap a photo and tell him and all his MAGA morons that he was in Riyadh and had a McD’s there

    It’s not like these idiots like to follow reality anyway.

          Spanish (that be what, Galician, Castillian, Catalonian, Basque, Andalusian?) people between themselves are as different as “German and Austrian”. Actually the difference between Bavaria and Austria is in history and nation lore, not in dialects. Roughly. Of course there is dialectal difference too.

          I guess you could say “Spanish and Occitan” for the comparison to be right.

          OK, after “nordic and sweden” I looked for that “/s” and found it, sorry.

        Why don’t you dial back your Karen radar for one second and just let people speak normally online without some grammar/whatever Nazi come in here stirring up shit.

          It is not grammar/whatever. They are two very different countries, it is like confusing Britain and France because you think all Europeans are the same.

    Does he actually like that crap? I thought it was a show because he thought his base would eat up him liking that crap as well as making the elites who are used to 5 star chefs eat that cheap shit at white house events.

    Unless this is also part of that act and they’ll make a show of ordering and sending some intern to pick it up and verbally abuse the workers, and then maybe make the interns eat it while he actually eats good food.

      Trump actually loves it, not a joke. He’s obsessed because, for a long time, fast food was cleaner. Unfortunately Trump’s image of McDonald’s and other fast food is stuck in 1960

        During his first term, if you were invited to the Whitehouse, there was a better than even chance he’d have a stack of McDonald’s burgers there to serve you.

    I know it’s fun to use this sort of thing to bag on the Saudis and on Trump, and I’m a fan of neither, but just wanted to point out that this kind of thing is pretty common.

    It’s just a food truck. Sure it’s a bit bigger than your average food truck, but that are catering to larger crowds. I’ve seen these at events across Europe, and in Australia. I’m sure there’s plenty trundling around the States as well.

      I think what we find funny here is that it’s McD… You’d usually bring out fancier stuff for a head of state. You know, refined stuff made by a chef, not sloppy fast food.

          What does this even mean? America has some of the best chefs and restaurants in the world. Or are you playing on a trope that Americans only eat fast food?

          Can I do that? Okay…well I’m surprised this food truck isn’t a white Toyota truck? Where’s the machine gun in the back?

            Toyota is Japanese and Alqaeda had more attacks against Saudi Arabia than against the US.

      By Saudis do you mean all 25 million citizens or just the government?

        I did mean the government, and by Trump I meant the current administration under Trump.

        But now you mention it, I can’t think of a single Saudi person I’m a fan of, despite working there on and off for some time.

    Wasn’t one of his reasonings that its so predelant that you can get a mcdonald’s anywhere at a drop and no one would be able to do anything to your food because they Wouldn’t know which one you would use.

    So now there will be one mcdonald’s in the whole country they know he will use… Not very safe anymore.

      Saudi Arabia wouldn’t dare do anything to Trump when it hosts and is surrounded with US bases and troops.

        I don’t think any nation hostile to democracy/US interests would dare do anything to Trump in general. Something like a third of Americans voted to destroy their own country. Why would the Saudis want us to not shoot ourselves in the foot?

        How much was paid out over Khashoggi’s death?

          The US doesn’t really care about journalists, they killed them in Iraq and Afghanistan, and their weapons have killed 215 journalists so far in Palestine. It was always about extracting tributes and concessions from Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia just doesn’t want to be turned into another Iraq or Libya or Syria or Palestine or any country that got on the bad side of the US. The US is known to hold a grudge, just look at the 67-year embargo on Cuba.

        You mean like the vast majority of the world and all but 10 US states? Don’t look up age of consent. For god’s sake don’t look at Western Europe.

        (You meant “age of consent”, not “age of majority”.)

          What’s the problem if two teenagers have sex?

          It’s only that low in Europe between the same age group. If a 30 year old bangs a 14 year old, (s)he will go to prison

            Nope, not in Germany. A 110 year old can legally bang a 14 year old, as long as they don’t have a position of authority over the teen.

              Wrong

              Nach § 182 Absatz 3 StGB sind sexuelle Handlungen zwischen einer Person über 21 Jahren und einem 14- oder 15-jährigen Jugendlichen für den erwachsenen Sexualstrafpartner dann strafbar, wenn er die fehlende Fähigkeit des Jugendlichen zur sexuellen Selbstbestimmung ausnutzt. Ein solcher – zumindest versuchter – Missbrauch wird mit Freiheitsstrafe bis zu drei Jahren oder mit Geldstrafe bestraft.

              Nach § 182 Absatz 1 StGB sind hingegen sexuelle Handlungen zwischen einer Person über 21 Jahren und einem 16- oder 17-jährigen Jugendlichen grundsätzlich erlaubt, soweit hierfür keine Zwangslage des Jugendlichen ausgenutzt wird. Anderenfalls wird ein solcher – zumindest versuchter – Missbrauch mit Freiheitsstrafe bis zu fünf Jahren oder mit Geldstrafe bestraft.

      I have a theory. His obsession with McDonald’s over any other fast food chain is mostly because his first name is Donald. I think his childish narcissism extends beyond plastering his last name on everything he owns.
