While 42 million Americans lose food assistance, here's a look at a Trump White House Luncheon Menu...

The luncheon, hosted last week for Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, featured the following...

Fall Green Salad with Sunset Tomatoes and White House Honey Dressing

Rosemary Roast Chicken with Celery Root Puree, Asparagus, Collard Greens and Dijon Sauce

Red Bartlett Pear Pavlova with Candied Ginger Ice Cream and Berry Compote


And, oh yeah, the taxpayers covered the bill.

As someone who has been to many conferences over the years, that's basically rubber chicken with a fairly indifferent side salad, easy to prepare for a large crowd with minimal cleanup. For a meeting with a head of state, that's pretty insulting, actually.
