Clueless Trump Has No Idea What Dairy Queen Blizzard Is

Trump must be trying to make up for his dine and dash maneuver in Miami. I'm sure he was trying to look relatable to voters, but came off just looking out of touch and clueless. I just want to know if the cheap S.O.B. actually paid the tab this time, or stiffed them again like he did last month.

‘What the hell is a Blizzard?' Trump rants to Dairy Queen workers while ordering after event:

Donald Trump on Friday held a gathering at a Dairy Queen after an Iowa campaign rally in Council Bluffs, and, according to the former president, it was Blizzards for all.

“Everybody wants a Blizzard. What the hell is a Blizzard?!” Trump asked.

Trump is shown in a video that aide Steven Cheung posted on Twitter.

“Is the fake news having a good time,” Trump tells supporters. “I hope you liked the speech, a lot of passion, a lot of passion.”

As Rolling Stone noted, given his love of fast food, this is kind of surprising:

Former President Donald Trump recently made headlines after promising “food for everyone!” at a Miami cafe — only to dash off without ordering a single item. On Friday, while campaigning in Iowa, he attempted to put that slip up behind him, only to find himself flabbergasted by the menu of a little known hole-in-the-wall called Dairy Queen.

“What the hell is a Blizzard?” Trump exclaimed in the middle of a crowded Dairy Queen in Council Bluffs, Iowa, where he had delivered a campaign speech earlier Friday afternoon.

The Blizzard, a concoction of soft serve and crumbled up confections, has been a staple on Dairy Queen’s menu since 1985. Trump has apparently never heard of it (he’s more of a McDonald’s guy.)
