Trump’s Rose Garden Dinner Menu Item Causes Outrage

Kevin Dietsch / Getty Images President Donald Trump has been called out for hosting a VIP dinner at the White House with a hero item on the menu many ordinary Americans would struggle to afford.

Trump, 80, hosted a BBQ dinner for Republican lawmakers at the Rose Garden on Wednesday, also attended by Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Health Secretary Robert F.

Kennedy Jr.

The lawmakers feasted on a “Prime-aged Beef Burger,” just one day after Trump’s executive decree allowing 300,000 metric tons of imported beef to enter the U.S. duty-free for 90 days kicked in.

The menu did not state which country the White House’s burger meat came from.

The foreign beef can be sold at 25 percent below the market price, in an effort to win over struggling MAGA meat lovers ahead of the midterm elections.

That decision even angered some Republicans, keen to protect farmers in their districts from losing business to imports.

The price of beef has risen by nearly 10 percent in the past year, with the average retail price of ground beef around $6.89 per pound, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data.

During CNN’s NewsNight on Wednesday, host Abby Phillip pointed out that 73 percent of Americans said in an SSRS poll that Trump does not have the right priorities and that he has not paid enough attention to the country’s most important problems.

“These are bad numbers for the president,” Phillip noted of the July poll.

MeidasTouch reporter Scott MacFarlane was on the NewsNight panel and pointed out the gaping divide between real Americans and the billionaire president.

“He’s in the Rose Garden tonight eating fine beef, eating a three-course meal, out on the patio,” MacFarlane said.

“The hamburgers cost $6 apiece at the grocery store right now.

The box of sugar cereal, which sometimes is dinner, $6 for the box of cereal, $4 for a loaf of bread.” MacFarlane said Americans are “not being subtle” about what their priorities are as the president is focused on renaming lakes and building his outsized White House ballroom .
