Trump STUNS Everyone by Cancelling Congressional Picnic and Donating the Food to Americans Who DESERVE It
President Trump never misses an opportunity to put Americans FIRST.
While Democrats are frothing at the mouth over illegals, our America First President is focusing on legal citizens of this country.
And nowhere did he show that love and support more than when he donated the food from the recently canceled congressional picnic to needy vets at Walter Reed Hospital.

As the immigration debacle looms large over the halls of Congress, President Donald Trump decided to scrap the lawmakers’ annual congressional picnic at the White House because it just didn’t feel “right.”
“I was just walking over to the Oval Office and I said, ‘You know, it doesn’t feel right to have a picnic for Congress when we’re working on doing something very important,’” Trump said Wednesday, according to Politico. “It didn’t feel exactly right to me.”
The president made the abrupt decision as his administration was taking heat for a controversial “zero tolerance” immigration policy that resulted in families being separated at the United States’ southern border. Trump ultimately halted the practice by signing an executive order midweek.
So where is all the food going?
Because Trump’s cancellation came at the last minute, the food — ribeye steaks, spinach, coleslaw, black beans, quinoa, and pies — was already being prepared.
They are grilling up some massive steaks here at the White House today – I could smell these all the way out on Pennsylvania Avenue. pic.twitter.com/mAbPageWp0

So since the food is already made, it’s going to a great group of people.
All the food will be served Friday for lunch at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, according to a report from Bloomberg News. The food will be given to patients, caregivers, and employees at the Warrior and Family Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
“All perishables donated to Walter Reed. Non perishables to be repurposed for future events,” Stephanie Grisham, spokeswoman for first lady Melania Trump, said.
I can just see Mad Maxine going around yelling “Impeach Trump!”, bcz her steak is taken away!!! LOL
Vets better get the food, God knows the medical center staff is going to eat them and also take a bunch before distributing what’s left to the vets. The VA and its staff are corrupt as f.
That was true two years ago, but not now that Trump got the law passed called The VA Accountability Act – now instead of these corrupt employees getting bonuses for neglecting our Vets, they’ve mostly been fired, and the employees of today are given bonuses for EXPOSING ANY AND ALL NEGLECT, CORRUPTION, DISREGARD OR GENERAL BULLSHIT AGAINST ANY VETERAN; And the penalty is instant removal, period. NOBODY THERE WOULD DARE TO PULL ANY KIND OF BULLSHIT LIKE HOLDING BACK A GIFT FROM POTUS TO STUFF THEIR OWN FAT FACES……believe you me, those Vets are enjoying this, and IF I’M WRONG THEN YOU CAN BE DAMN SURE THAT PRES TRUMP WILL FIND OUT ABOUT IT PRETTY DAMN FAST, SINCE HE IS IN DIRECT COMMUNICATION WITH VETS AND STAFF AT WALTER REED……AND HEADS WOULD ROLL, YA KNOW???
HOW PISSED OFF DO YOU THINK PRES TRUMP WOULD BE IF HE FINDS OUT A GIFT FROM HIMSELF TO THE VETS WAS STOLEN AND THE BEST OF IT WITHHELD FROM THOSE VETS? YOU’DE HAVE TO BE PRETTY DAMN LOW TO DO SUCH A THING, AND THEY’D FIND OUT ALSO PRETTY STUPID ONCE PRES TRUMP FOUND OUT…..THEY’LL BE LUCKY TO STILL HAVE A HEAD THAT COULD ROLL…….
If or when the next picnic is scheduled – feed them what the Vets WOULD have gotten. Let Congress get a taste of the crap that they feed to Vets. – daily!
a picnic with big fat ribeye steaks? I haven’t been able to afford them in years. and quinoa at a picnic?
my household is more like beans, rice, and turkey dogs. and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
MAGA, Mr. Trump, I’m GLAD he GAVE THAT FOOD AWAY TO MORE NEEDY PEOPLE.
Brilliant Pres. Trump! Great way to show the American people how Washington uses our taxpayer money for lavish yet unnecessary congressional events.
agree, otherwise who woulda known this goes on.
funny how excited the PRESS from CNBC and AP was, tweeting about this great meal. HA-HA
For the “ FIRST TIME I’M PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN “ !!!!
Hahahaha! I see what you did there!
Wow…look what the politicians get at their picnics! Most of these people in Congress are the worst congress in 132 yrs., this is a fact, look it up. Just read that Bernie Sanders makes a million every year! Its been said that if any politician comes out of office rich, that is a crooked politician!!!! This country desperately needs TERM LIMITS.
Glad people at Walter Reed Hospital will be able to enjoy this meal, they deserve it. Good job, President Trump.
Agree, these do-nothing fat cats should be eating hot dogs and hamburgers like the rest of us!
