Donald Trump gets hilariously trolled by Burger King
Yesterday Donald Trump made a big deal out of serving fast food from a few different restaurants, including Burger King Whoppers, to the Clemson national championship football team. Trump seemed really proud of his cheapskate move, as he posed for several ridiculous photos with the food, and he keeps tweeting about it. But the whole thing is such an embarrassment that even Burger King is now trolling Trump from his official Twitter account.
This morning Donald Trump decided to brag about the “hamberders” he served to the college kids: “Great being with the National Champion Clemson Tigers last night at the White House. Because of the Shutdown I served them massive amounts of Fast Food (I paid), over 1000 hamberders etc. Within one hour, it was all gone. Great guys and big eaters!” He then later deleted and replaced it.
This is phenomenally illiterate even by Trump’s standards, considering that it’s almost impossible to type “hamberders” without it autocorrecting to “hamburgers.” Burger King, which has clearly had enough of Trump’s crap, posted this tweet in response: “due to a large order placed yesterday, we’re all out of hamberders. just serving hamburgers today.”
It’s not just that Donald Trump spelled yet another basic word hilariously wrong. It’s that a major American brand like Burger King now feels he’s so toxically unpopular and close to ouster, there’s more business to be gained by trolling Trump than there is to be lost by offending his base in the process. Accordingly, although Burger King has one-twentieth as many Twitter followers as Trump does, its response got more than twice as many likes as Trump’s tweet did.
