And risk getting that carcinogen bronzer on me? No thanks.Pretty straightforward. Might be a chef prepared meal. Might be fast food. But, you get to meet and shake hands with Trump.
He could probably take youMy chances of being in the same room as Trump and not ending up in jail are even smaller than my chances of not getting suspended on a day when Opie, Noonan, and Weebs are real active on this board.
I don't even think he could take youHe could probably take you
It would be good shtick to put my Gary Johnson yard sign back out.The 3rd Choice might better be phrased as "Yes and I support Gary Johnson".
Yup. This. One day, someone would post a picture of you shaking his hand or in the same photo and people would associate you with his morals and ethics. I've seen pictures of people with Harvey Weinstein and/or Kevin Spacey with the implication that the person with them support or knew about their crimes. Screw that.No. For much the same reason as @squistion wrote. He's such an awful person with awful policies - I don't want to even give the appearance of supporting them.
Seeks like that's not the case. But he was a good actor, for a politician.I had an uncle who was an advance man (think travel agent or concierge) for Reagan, and he gave me a standing offer to come to DC and meet the President (I was 14-21 at the time). I could never find the time and regret not doing it. I hated Reagan's politics, but still respected him because he was a decent man. Other then the position he holds, I see no redeeming feature of our current President that would compel me to shake his hand, and I cringe at the thought of displaying a photo of us in the Oval Office together.

I don't need to go to the White House for Chick-fil-A
You think Trump has ever been in a fistfight in his entire life?Cowboysfan8 said:He could probably take you
No way! With the exception of the Apprentice, he doesn't even have the backbone to fire someone himself. His fear of confrontation is the very reason he refuses to accuse Putin of election tampering, or the Saudi Prince and Jung Un of murder. If he does that, they might react in a hostile way and that scares Trump to death. There is no way he's ever been in a fight.You think Trump has ever been in a fistfight in his entire life?
What would you serve your king for dinner if he invited you?Would I sit between Queen Melania and Princess Ivanka?
He did that for North Dakota State....@ thinking he'd splurge for Chick-fil-A
Can I go for the free meal and tour of the White House without having to dine with / spend time with / otherwise interact with Trump?gianmarco said:Pretty straightforward. Might be a chef prepared meal. Might be fast food. But, you get to meet and shake hands with Trump.
And to clarify, all expenses would be paid (airfare, hotel, etc.).
NopeCan I go for the free meal and tour of the White House without having to dine with / spend time with / otherwise interact with Trump?
I'm sure they would be thrilled to sit by you.Would I sit between Queen Melania and Princess Ivanka?
I’d probably start them off with some jokes about CNN, Hillary and Warren to loosen up the room.What would you serve your king for dinner if he invited you?
As if there's a chance that he wouldn't be sitting right next to The DonaldI'm sure they would be thrilled to sit by you.
HUGE differenceIf the president, any president, invites me to dinner at the White House I would go. Period. End of story.
In theory I can respect those who say "No" based on the President's politics. In practice I think a lot of people saying "No" are hypocrites. We're certainly seeing it here in Boston where Patriots/Red Sox who don't want to go to the White House are being widely praised. Usually by the very same people who killed Tim Thomas (Bruins goalie) for not going to the White House when Obama was president.

I can think of plenty people who held the office that were not particularly nice or good people. If that's the standard you want to use then fine. But I think there's more than a little disingenuousness to say it has little to do with politics.It has very little to do with politics.
He is an #######. I have no interest in spending time with #######s - you fine people notwithstanding.
Why do you say that? Do we know each other?I can think of plenty people who held the office that were not particularly nice or good people. If that's the standard you want to use then fine. But I think there's more than a little disingenuousness to say it has little to do with politics.
Too much BS on all sides has made me cynical of everyone. It's nothing personal.Why do you say that? Do we know each other?
