This is pathetic for everyone involved. I cannot imagine being so afraid of eating anything other than fucking McDonald's.

Not defending Trump in any way but I could imagine the Saudis did this of their own initiative, to please him.

Bit difficult to tell if all OP provided is a picture & a headline.

Donnie dumbass stopped mental development as a teen. He just fires on instinct all the time, and hasn't had a conscious thought in decades

"When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same. The temperament is not that different."

By his own admission, teen is being far too generous.

On top of being on the BDS list, the price to food quality ratio is ass, even for fast food standards

McDonald's is almost the cost of places like Five Guys in many areas now. They have priced themselves out of fast food into fast casual, but still providing the same product. And people are starting to notice finally.

Less than a decade ago I was able to get a McDouble, McChicken and small fries for $3+tax. Now the McChicken alone is more expensive than that, and the three together are nearly $9 here.

That's not inflation, it's not based on increases in materials cost or labor cost. It doesn't cost them 3x as much to make those items now, it's just raised prices for profit and excuses to try and justify it.
