I love how the saudis are treating the orange shitbag like a toddler.

“Do you want the plane that goes brrrr? We put the big screen to watch foxy newsy :)”

“Oh oh do you hear this sound? Yes! It’s the mcdonny truck! Choof choof!”

[–] xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works 24 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

*Arabs not Saudis. The plane thing is from Qatar.

[–] dan00@lemm.ee 8 points 3 weeks ago

Apologies. Arabs felt too generic and I was hoping nobody will notice. :)

[–] PanArab@lemm.ee 14 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (7 children)

Qatar is not Saudi Arabia, in fact there was a huge feud and blockade between the two not too long ago. Do you think all Arabs are the same? They even speak different dialects with different vocabulary and phonology.

Woah woah, hold your horses cowboy 🙌 I was tryin to be funny. No of course no, I lived with arab people in an arab neighbourhood, I’m well aware.

That said tho…….

Gulf countries are very similar I’ve been told (never been). Kinda like german and austrian people, spanish and italian, nordic and sweden, scottish and irish people. Indistinguishable. /s

That is the slyest insult possible.

Here you demented rapist pig, eat some of your cheap ass greasy snoutmeat patties out of a box! You like that don't you! Yeah you do! Yeah you do!

It's 100% guaranteed to work.

[–] neatobuilds@lemmy.today 15 points 3 weeks ago

is it an insult if they actually love it

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

And the best part of it is that they're too dumb to understand it's an insult

And when a Trump's face lit up with glee, it only made them laugh harder.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 56 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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.

Who wants to bet on which country will pull out all the stops and just have someone there to suck his dick?

[–] nimble@lemmy.blahaj.zone 34 points 3 weeks ago (7 children)

A country where the age of majority is less than 18. So they can find someone young enough for trump's liking

Isn't this the same administration that declared meals on wheels to the poor elderly was waste, fraud, and abuse?

It's obvious dear leader needs to get his favorite sandwich the Filet O' Fascism.

And wash it down with a Sham(of a presidency) Shake.

His preference for McD stuff just confirms how tasteless Trump is.

[–] El_Scapacabra@lemm.ee 12 points 3 weeks ago

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.

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.

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.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

McD is pretty much the height of American cuisine, lol.

As a lifelong USian I have never seen a McDonald’s food truck in my entire life (yes we do food trucks here). Presumably because McDonalds already has a location anywhere that one could possibly want a shitty ripoff burger.

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.

[–] Buddahriffic@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

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.

[–] RedAggroBest@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

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

Shame Trump has a poor taste in food. Local cuisine is infinitely tastier and healthier. Okay maybe not much healthier.

Will he be "working" again in there or what?
