look in comparison. USA-MEN's team claim to be (have BEEN) supportive of the women, but where were THEIR voices? Totally emasculated by the orange blob and a forever diminishing of THEIR accomplishment.

Bet they are used to eating actual REAL food, they can afford it.

Too many lurking eyes that could become whistleblowers or leaks. Plus, nobody likes Trump or his minions.

SEE: Trump’s trial in New York where nobody showed for support including family. Until they were threatened or paid to show. The whole mess is entirely transactional.

about someone trying to poison him? I seem to recall reading that.

The story is that is why he eats McDonalds.

The Women's team dined with actor and food connoisseur Stanley Tucci at his favourite restaurant, Ristorante Ratana in Milan, Italy.

The women were served Pumpkin Risotto: Hand-prepared by the chef and served with mustard and mustard leaf on top.
Sumac Bonito: A shared fish dish.
Beverages: The group enjoyed red wine served in real glasses

Statistically, some will be Trump supporters, some will just want the experience. 17 said no thanks!
I don't like them laughing at Trump's joke about the women, but in the general atmosphere of Trump's more innocent joke-making and the high after the win, the mysogenist quip was kind of a set up. I'm glad some have expressed regret at how they responded.

Someone on Hartmann’s show earlier said White House guests are traditionally served meals and the cost is paid by the President. So you can bet the McDonny’s chain donated for free and claimed tax credits. And why he keeps doing it. And his billionaire ass lickers pay when Russian
Or other DICKtators, 🍆🥔, are invited to treat HIM and join in the licking.
Muther (sorry, child) fucker is so vein, he only eats that McD’s shit because Donald is in their name.
