Brazilian." His claims got furtehr boost as Burger King had tweeted earlier from its official Twitter handle, "Due to large order placed yesterday, we're all out of hambergers. Just serving hambergers today."

“He proudly displayed a table piled high with burgers from McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and Burger King. Mr. Trump himself called it “great American food.” But maybe it was really something else — comfort food for a president who feels stuck at home.” https://t.co/XnJCXSi9PY

Taking cue from Paul Krugman's tweet; Katie Rogers reacted, "He proudly displayed a table piled high with burgers from McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and Burger King. Mr. Trump himself called it “great American food.” But maybe it was really something else — comfort food for a president who feels stuck at home."
"We have pizzas, we have 300 hamburgers, many, many french fries, all of our favorite foods," Trump had told reporters earlier adding, "I want to see what’s here when we leave, because I don’t think it’s going to be much."
