Donald Trump is becoming a restaurant critic. This morning he weighed in on the Red Hen restaurant, which is located in Virginia and denied service over the weekend to his press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. According to Trump:

A newly aroused left is engaging in an increasingly aggressive campaign of public shaming against Trump administration officials, much of which appears to centre on denying them meals at fine dining establishments. Both Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and White House senior adviser Stephen Miller have been singled out for public opprobrium.
Moreover, in Florida, the state attorney general and Trump ally Pam Bondi was accosted this past Friday by liberal activists when viewing the documentary Won’t You Be My Neighbor? about liberal television icon and child educator Fred Rogers.
