I know it's fun to use this sort of thing to bag on the Saudis and on Trump, and I'm a fan of neither, but just wanted to point out that this kind of thing is pretty common.
It's just a food truck. Sure it's a bit bigger than your average food truck, but that are catering to larger crowds. I've seen these at events across Europe, and in Australia. I'm sure there's plenty trundling around the States as well.
I think what we find funny here is that it's McD.. You'd usually bring out fancier stuff for a head of state. You know, refined stuff made by a chef, not sloppy fast food.
McD is pretty much the height of American cuisine, lol.
What does this even mean? America has some of the best chefs and restaurants in the world. Or are you playing on a trope that Americans only eat fast food?
Can I do that? Okay…well I’m surprised this food truck isn’t a white Toyota truck? Where’s the machine gun in the back?
Toyota is Japanese and Alqaeda had more attacks against Saudi Arabia than against the US.
Yea my point is to make an ignorant statement about an entire culture/country, similar to the statement that user made
Mission accomplished
