Utensil Fiasco

At first glance of this image my eye immediately went to the plate that the President had in front of him. The second thing I noticed was the way the President was eating his Kentucky Fried Chicken, with a knife and a fork. My reaction to this image was confusion because I have never have seen someone eat fried chicken like that.

The subject of the image is Donald Trump eating in his private jet. The focal point of this image is also the President’s meal. The President tweeted this picture and had no idea the backlash he would get for his eating habits.

All the President intended on posting this picture was to share to his followers on Twitter where he was and what he was doing in between locations. His target audience was the Twitter followers he has but also reached to many other people on this social media platform because of the odd utensil usage for this finger food. Although the backlash was negative the picture reached more people than intended, meaning his simple late night meal tweet clearly was an important topic for the day on twitter.

The people of Twitter absolutely exploded after this picture was tweeted in the way that Donald Trump I am sure did not want to see. Thousands of people started to make fun of the President for the way he eats chicken, and thousands more started to attack his character because of it. All in all, this picture had people debating in comments underneath the posts on which way is right to eat chicken and if they can trust the leader of our country because of this “flaw” he possesses, causing a big argument to break out onto the internet.
