Even In Saudi Arabia, Donald Trump Will Still Get His Steak With Ketchup

President Donald Trump’s love of eating well-done steak with lashings of ketchup is well-documented (and often maligned).

So much so that the caterers preparing the official meals during his upcoming visit to Saudi Arabia are reportedly planning to include it on the menu.

They will offer Trump his preferred dish alongside traditional local cuisine such as lamb and rice, according to The Associated Press. It is “part of a worldwide effort to accommodate America’s homebody president,” the news agency notes.

Twitter users seemed to be incredulous when they heard the news:

@jpaceDC The Saudis' serving Trump steak and ketchup is a good idea, but if they don't serve him TWO scoops of ice cream with his pie, they're doomed

Just found out #Trump orders fine steaks well-done with ketchup.

I wonder if the man-child also gets the crusts cut off his sandwiches.

"Well done steak with ketchup" as his favorite meal isn't the worst thing Trump has done, but it's definitely top 5. https://t.co/nm2PwwqL8J

@Morning_Joe Better hope Trump gets ketchup with his steak dinner while dining with the Saudis or else he'll tweet it was a disaster!

Trump likes his steak well done like a charcoal briquette & then slathered in ketchup. The rich do not deserve their wealth.

@Sarah_Boxer @DavidCornDC "Caterers have ensured that his favorite meal - steak with a side of ketchup - will be offered" Trump is so embarrassing

Just found out that Trump eats ketchup on his steak. This tells me everything I need to know.

There’s no word, however, on whether Trump’s Saudi hosts plan to provide him with the equivalent of the red desk button the president pushes to instruct a butler to bring him Coca-Cola.

Trump sets off on Friday for his first official trip as president to the Middle East and Western Europe. Over the course of nine days, he is scheduled to visit Saudi Arabia, Israel, a G7 meeting in Sicily, a NATO summit in Belgium and the Vatican.
