Clemson’s undefeated championship football team has been offered a victory meal with a significant upgrade. After President Donald Trump served the team McDonald’s and other fast food in a White House visit this week, “Good Morning America” host Michael Strahan on Tuesday promised to feed the Tigers lobster. On him.
He invited the team to New York City for the feast.
“We gonna take care of you,” Strahan, a Hall of Famer who played for the New York Giants, said on the show. “We gonna give you the proper meal that you deserve because that was one great game, a great accomplishment.”
Clemson defeated Alabama, 44-16, in the championship game for its second title in three years and celebrated with Trump in a fast-food buffet.
Trump tweeted a controversial post in which he said he himself bought the feast because of the government shutdown. But he misspelled the word hamburgers, writing “hamberders.”
That mistake became the focus of much discussion. Burger King tweeted: “due to a large order placed yesterday, we’re all out of hamberders.
just serving hamburgers today.”
