Trump's salt and pepper shakers tower over everyone else's. Obama, Bush, and Clinton used the same size shakers as their guests.

Trump has ruined the minds of the MSM. Journalism is dead, killed by the TDS virus----- bf

  • When he's having working lunches or dinners at the White House, President Donald Trump often wields salt and pepper shakers almost twice the size of everyone else's.

  • This could be another one of his power moves, alongside his   fierce handshakes   and   bulky suits .

  • Photos show Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama using the same size shakers as their White House guests, while Trump's usually tower over others.

President Donald Trump displays his power with firm handshakes,   a second scoop of ice cream , and towering salt and pepper shakers.

Mark Knoller, CBS News' White House correspondent, pointed out how much bigger Trump's shakers were   in a tweet on Thursday .

Insider combed the photo archives and found that Trump more often than not gets much larger salt and pepper shakers than other foreign leaders or American politicians when dining at the White House. And we couldn't find instances of Trump's most recent predecessors using larger shakers than those of their guests.

The large shakers might just be because he enjoys   salty foods   like KFC chicken, Big Macs, and bacon and eggs. But it could also be another power move, alongside his   fierce handshakes   and   bulky suits .

These photos show how much bigger Trump's White House salt and pepper shakers usually are than everyone else's, and how they compare to those of Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama.

To set the scene, we'll start with Clinton. It appears he and Vice President Al Gore ate lunch with typical, nondescript salt and pepper shakers.

Condiment equality continued with Bush. In 2005, he seasoned his food with the same size salt and pepper shakers as Condoleezza Rice, his secretary of state.

Gosh, I don't know how I'll be able to sleep at night, now knowing that (gasp!) Trump's shakers are bigger than others!

WTF?

Is THIS what CBS has become now?

If you look closely the salt is slightly ahead of the pepper shaker....

Big salt and pepper shakers just make his hands look even smaller than they already are.

In the past couple of years, I've noticed that Yahoo is a site that many people rely upon for their "news". I will be eternally grateful that Yahoo felt that the sizes of salt and pepper shakers are newsworthy, and I thank BF for bringing this breaking news to our attention!

This comment isn't meant to be critical - it's merely an observation and question. My comment 6 was on topic so I don't understand why you made your comment 6.2 to me. If others who made comments in thread #6 were off topic, shouldn't your comment have been addressed to them and not me?

I’ll throw out a little credit to whoever put together this story. At least they produced some evidence instead of quoting some anonymous person familiar with events.Now that’s journalism! jrSmiley_81_smiley_image.gif

We’ll save working on the editorial story selection process for another time.

Although the facts  (Trump demands and uses larger salt and pepper shakers than everyone else at the table) appear to be correct, and are yet another small proof of his psychological malfunctions,  I dont think newspapers or web sites, should bother with it any more. 

Everyone who cares already knows he is a malignant narcissist who is not above the most petty displays of self-absorption, and there are already books written with this evidence. Most of us saw him shove the president of a small country out of the way so Trump could get to the front of line to pose for a photograph at a NATO meeting.  And there are a thousand other things.  But citing them in news stories at this point only gives the bamboozlers and gaslighters more opportunities.

Facts? Where in the article did it declare Trump demanded larger shakers?

Got any real proof?

I bet not.

BTFW, way to waste 10 more minutes of your time on the article you don't like!

It didn't. And if I had to put up with constant hate and vitriol like he has, I would make sure mine were different than anyone else's too just for peace of mind.
