US President Donald Trump puts on fast food feast at White House

US President Donald Trump has put on a fast food feast at the White House, blaming the partial government shutdown for the lack of catering staff. He welcomed the winners of the national college football championship, the Clemson Tigers, with more than 300 burgers as well as fries and pizzas.

The US President told reporters that he went out and ordered American fast food paid by him because of the shutdown.

Much of the federal government is



out of operation because of the shutdown. 

 

It has affected an estimated 8 lakh public sector workers, including White House residence staff, who have been on mandatory leave or working without pay for a record 24 days.

President Trump is refusing to approve a federal budget unless it includes funds for a wall along the Mexican border, but Democrats have rejected his request.
