With much of the government shut down, the President paid for the food himself. He initially told reporters that the spread included â300 hamburgersâ but later told the players he had sent out for âabout 1,000 hamburgers.â
Rumor has it that Trump wanted to serve churros for dessert, but couldnât get funding for a wall to surround the churros to keep them confined to their part of the table.

However, speaking on Thursday, Mr Trump claimed he never meant that Mexico would make a one-time payment.
"When I said Mexico would pay for the wall in front of thousands and thousands of people... obviously I never meant Mexico would write a cheque," he said.

I'm considering trying to force myself to try and watch, just to see the shitshow first-hand.

President Donald Trump claimed without evidence on Friday that past presidents have privately confided to him that they regret not building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
But at least three of the four living U.S. presidents â Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama â did no such thing.
Asked if Clinton told Trump that he should have built a border wall, Clinton spokesman Angel Ureña said, âHe did not. In fact, theyâve not talked since the inauguration.â
Bush spokesman Freddy Ford also said the two men had not discussed the matter. And Obama, for his part, has not spoken with Trump since his inauguration, except for a brief exchange at George H.W. Bushâs funeral in Washington, D.C.
