    They didn’t travel to the white house expecting or hoping for “casual”. They got cold fast food because the entire government had been shut down.

      They went because they felt they had to

      Anything that makes it more casual and less of an obligation is a good thing

        This reflects more of your opinion about obligations, or how you would feel in this situation, than anything else.

            It’s an honor to be invited to dinner with the leader of your country. When that leader can’t pay the staff to make the dinner, so he orders McDonald’s, it’s not a relief.

              It’s not an honour, it’s work

              Same as if the CEO of your company brought you out to eat

              Stop idolizing people, it’s dumb
