The North Dakota State Bison football team was given the White House's championship treatment this week, complete with fast food served up on fine china and silver (and extra sauce).

Trump's White House doesn't seem to invite women's sports championsMeanwhile, no standalone female championship team has attended a celebration like this at the Trump White House, The Washington Post reported Monday. I sat down with CNN sports analyst and sports columnist for USA Today Christine Brennan to find out more about the striking absence of female sports teams at celebrations in the Trump White House -- and just how significant their Pennsylvania Avenue absence is.

In each episode of his weekly YouTube show, Chris Cillizza will delve a little deeper into the surreal world of politics. Click to subscribe! LD: Is there anything else that stands out to you about this story that's important?CB: For those who say women's teams don't want to go because they don't like Trump, that may well be true, but how is it possible in 2019 that they're not invited? That is the question. How are you literally ignoring half the population that plays sports?And he's got ND State there. So if you're saying he's only honoring the best, well, that's a lower division.

CNN is done.... This isn't news

I have heard that many athletes who care about body building and physical fitness...shun fast foods since they run counter to healthy lifestyles.

Why does he think athletes like fast food? It is the exact opposite. It is Trump who likes an excuse to eat fast food. Going to the White House is supposed to be a special experience. Give it up with the fast food.

Yawn.... is like a broken record

So he is feeding those sports teams junk food? That's just criminal!

I don't care what two dumb biased brods think of Trump.

Oh of course it's about him...big Mac and Trump my kinda day

No kidding! Should anyone be surprised by this? He's a shameless carnival barker who will use anyone or group of individuals as his props. They are enabling his shallow & wanton behavior by showing up.

What, it’s against the law to schmooze? Does the staff at CNN fear for their jobs? Are you guys afraid to say anything positive about Trumps accomplishments?

His food choice represents him and his administration. Often cold. Empty calories Temporarily fills in some people a craving for instant gratification. Definitely unhealthy. It often leaves you feeling bloated. It’s known to prompt a sudden diahrea. Will kill you in the long run.

it's probably how he treated his staff at his other businesses before he became 45...by serving them from the drive thru menus with coupons

Oh my lord. You guys have lost your minds. Don’t worry Russia Collusion is coming. Oh wait, nope.

He is poisoning our athletes with junk food, they don’t eat that garbage! Let’s hope he chokes on it! 👎🤮🤑

The house the jumanji game is played in

Just HOW STUPID can CNN get

Really?

Doubt that’s what they serve at Mara Lago!!

Woke people see Fast Food as a message and Trump as the messenger.

You people are just looking at the optics. If you were as smart as you think you are, you would see the deeper message being sent to those who can see what you can't.

Your reporting is a joke.

Breaking news from !!! Hardcore reporting at its finest-oh wait. Just another bash Trump moment. Hope you like it b/c you’ll have him for 6 more years!😊👍

I thought everything was about him. Next thing you know he will claim he is the second coming of Christ! Happy Ash Wednesday! DumpTrumpVoteForTheGrump TheGrumpyOldMan2020🇺🇸

That is not food, it is JUNK.

Ugh - give it up CNN -

I would be depressed having to eat a cold soggy taco from Taco Bell.

Your trying to hard CNN

Forrest Gump went for the Dr. Pepper. Who cares.

Another stellar article how can it be argued that cutting edge journalism like this isn't the finest in the world!?

Kinda like when CNN on air anchors cry on air and CNN makes the headline of the story: '__________ cries on air over story'....LOL You turds never cease to amaze

He has a staff that could make wonderful flame broiled burgers, hand cut fries, hearty salads and all the fixings, or maybe even a taco bar.

CNN is irrelevant to anyone with a functioning frontal lobe. If I had been on that Clemson team, I would have been in BURGER HEAVEN! Who doesn't know darn near ANY college kid that doesn't love a big beautiful burger and fries?

This is how this obese Prez feeds guests. Jeez what a loser. These guys eat much better than that.

lol, and you call yourself journalists? What a joke you have become!

Fast food isn’t really food.

🤣🍔😂🍟😮

He's media savvy, so he takes advantage of something like this to promote himself, not the athletes' accomplishments. That's what narcissists do.

Junk food from a junk president.

CNN just continues to lose all credibility with bullcrap like this. Absurd.

How cnn is promoting biased n negative news on realDonaldTrump everyday

This is news?

Two things high on his list are self promotion and food. Last on his list: the welfare of the American public.

CNN loves Trump

Who owns the franchises where he is buying the food?

The only two important things in tRump's life.

SUR-PRISSSSSSEEEEEE! Well Golllllllllllllly!

How dare realDonaldTrump has fun with the teams who visit the white house! Haha wow , you truly do not seem to care that you are FakeNews huh?

You are really laughable CNN. It's a celebration why wouldn't there be food there who cares that it's fast food it's probably a heck of a lot cheaper than having chefs make the food. For you to assume that there was a calculated decision by the president...

Well, the teams don’t go to the White House to meet the cleaning crew.

CNN could post pictures of the teams instead of Donald Trump. You are clearly making the decision to post a picture of Donald Trump instead of the team.

This is news Please no. He makes everything about himself, so why should this be any different than anything else

Food ?!!!!

I just love how his followers are turning healthy food choices into an “elitist” thing.

I remember a time when the headline would read 'President invites *insert team name* to the White House'. Can we please return to those days? Okay thanks.

TDS.

How can a news network on CNN's level be so shamelessly fixated on a personality. Trump is really driving you guys nuts 😏

He is the most magical magician in the world, he can magically make any situation revolve around him. Must be all the hamberders and freis, that has given him his magic powers 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It’s President Trump! Y’all can’t even get that right!

Do you people at CNN even try anymore?

Zzzzzzzzz

You do know that by the time the players get this food, its cold. Nothing worse than cold, rubbery french fries and a soggy bun on a Chick-Fil-A chicken sandwich. Some of these kids may never get a chance at fine dining and you give them fast food? SMH

Envy is ugly. Ppl love Trump. Get it.

Yeah so what will they be eating lol if u take trump off junk food that would be the same as talking heron away from Keith Richards.
