Trump spared exposure to hazardous romaine lettuce, White House confirms.

The White House said the menu at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, included Caesar salad — a tidbit that raised eyebrows just two days after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned against eating any romaine from any source because of a new outbreak of E.coli contamination.

Romaine lettuce is the traditional base for Caesar salads, but when queried about the menu, the White House told NBC News on Thursday night that no romaine was used.

Now the only thing his guests need to be concerned with are Mar-a-Lago's health code violations.

Trump’s Mar-a Lago cited by state inspectors for poor maintenance

A year after the discovery of foods that could sicken people at President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, his Winter White House was just cited by inspectors for poor maintenance.

Never mind that it costs $200,000 in initiation fees to join the exclusive club, which has two restaurants and a bed-and-breakfast.

Fresh state records show the B&B needed emergency repairs in order to pass the latest inspection in November.

Trump’s club, located on a beachfront property where the historic main house was built in the 1920s for cereals heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post, was cited Nov. 8 for two violations deemed high priority: the lack of smoke detectors capable of alerting the hearing impaired through flashing bright lights; and slabs of concrete missing from a staircase, exposing steel rebar that could cause someone to fall.

“High priority lodging violations are those which could pose a direct or significant threat to the public health, safety, or welfare,” the inspection code reads.

Just another WH lie. And if the dressing doesn't have a raw egg, then it doesn't qualify as Caesar salad even with romaine.

Nature said the trillions of E. coli bacteria, whose problematic relationship with humans does raise eyebrows, were appalled at the thought they might end up in the pursed maw of the orange bag of poisonous pus that has plagued the White House for 2 years.

Consumption by humans is the traditional route for spreading E. coli, but when queried about using the new vector of an ugly sack of shit without a shred of human decency, the bacteria confirmed they'd rather be wiped out en masse with bleach.
