First Trump gets two scoops of ice cream to everyone else's one. Now he gets bigger salt Shakers. My God, where will it end? Can we say...Dictatorship?
He's using table salt, we must impeach.
Talk about Executive overreach. but Obama was an 'umble man who kept his ambitions in check.
A friend used to refer to "Salt and Pecker." That is some serious penis envy in that photo.
It's where he keeps Lot's Wife
I hope Jerry Nadler is writing this down.
Sometimes a salt shaker is just a...
Trump's plate and napkin are also bigger. And he's hogging the remote.
Trump also uses pink and black Himalayan salts for female and people of color respectively.
David Byrne's power-garnering bulky suit.
"Trump finds cure for cancer; other diseases ignored"
Impeach!
I have to believe that he is intentionally trolling with this.
The lowly black pepper. The privileged white salt. An integrated grinder implies a sadomasochistic personality and an indicator of diversitist tendencies. Vegan, vegetarian, carnivore, omnivore, or cannibal... there is simply no excuse.
And Business Insider is left wondering why there's a "media landslide" into oblivion?
DO liberals have separate salt and pepper shakers? How racist can you get?
Boy, they're really reaching here, aren't they.
Trump gives back his salary so it's of no significance. I assume the guests keep theirs.
Is this r/nottheonion?
"Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin On"
(originally by Big Maybelle)
Come along my baby, whole lotta shakin' goin' on
Yes, I said come along my baby, baby you can't go wrong
We ain't fakin', while lotta shakin' goin' on
Well, I said come along my baby, we got chicken in the barn
Woo-huh, come along my baby, really got the bull by the horn
We ain't fakin', whole lotta shakin' goin' on
Big hands require big shakers.
If progressives we're in charge of the space program, not that they haven't been put in charge during the Obama years, but they would assert that rockets are phallic symbols and aerodynamic design is racist white privilege.
BADuBois: "Boy, they're really reaching here, aren't they."
The lefties and their LLR-lefty allies have been reaching all the way back to Goldwater.
"...A friend used to refer to "Salt and Pecker."
Oh, dear God. Thank you so much for saying this. My late father used to say that. I can hear him now. "Hoss, pass the salt and pecker..." A good memory.
The larger salt and pepper shakers are found in restaurants all over the county. My wife and I ate barbecue in Thorndale, Texas yesterday, and those were on the table. I've never been to any restaurant anywhere in the United States that didn't have full-size shakers. I can easily see that a person who thrives on Big Macs and Taco Bowls would definitely want full-size shakers, and not those little pissant shakers that I didn't even know existed until I saw the image.
That barbecue place in Thorndale is definitely working class. The crowd yesterday was farmers, cops, construction workers and a few retirees. I am going to go out on a limb here and say that Trump will easily carry Thorndale, as well as the rest of Milam County, Texas. The barbecue was outstanding, and included brisket, pork steak and tri-tip. All was great, but the tri-tip was just superlative.
"The Onion" writers are pissed they missed this scoop.
Salt Shaker Envy. May God help Business Insider.
This is certainly parody. The elaborate photographic absurdity of it suggests it might be a parody of the impeachment process.
So, do we have pictures of Obama, Bush and Clinton with salt shakers to prove the asserted statement, out of curiosity?
Let's just say that Obama had a very small set of salt and pepper shakers----a man has to know his limitations after all, and he could not afford to be upstaged by his salt and pepper set.
(I'm looking more for ones in the same room, not the ones they have, that aren't an apples to apples comparison.)
Since Trump is a person of color (orange), I see these personal attacks as the racism it clearly is.
Oh, I missed that the last picture is the Cabinet Room as well as the Trump picture. So, hey, maybe they actually HAVE a point on this whole salt shaker thing.
It almost seems like the last two posts could be related, some how, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
"We did find a few instances where Trump had the same size shakers as others. Interestingly, this was in the Cabinet Room, the same room where the shakers have tended to be different sizes."
"Trump continued his shaker tradition when he met again with the UN Security Council in late 2019."
-- Guys, guys, guys. It isn't a tradition if it isn't something you do traditionally. It looks like it is just a fluke.
Clearly an impeachable offense.
"The White House didn't respond to Insider's request for comment on the larger salt and pepper shakers, so the world may never know."
-- I wish I was the person who received this request. I'd "accidentally" CC the reporter and write to someone else saying: "They're on to us!"
They're grasping at straws, but forgot they banned straws.
In other news, Trump sometimes leaves more than 1 folder open on his desk at the same time. Thus rendering our very civilization in doubt.
More on this later when LLR-lefty Chuck checks in with the latest Soros/Hoffman/Omidyar talking points.
Trump literally considers himself a king! I bet he even has less shit on him than his guests!
He trots out the 24 inch pepper mill when he really wants a statement...
"In other news, Trump sometimes leaves more than 1 folder open on his desk at the same time."
-- I bet the bastard opens his browser twice instead of just using tabs like a normal human being. They probably even gave him a third monitor.
"Trump literally considers himself a king! I bet he even has less shit on him than his guests!"
-- I wonder if he brought his giant salt and pepper shakers with him to see the troops while the media was telling me he was sitting at home tweeting.
The sad thing is that I can't tell if it's parody or not.
If I was the guest, and I had bigger shakers, I'd switch them. I saw Trump kick Vince McMahon's ass on the WWE, and McMahon has some big shakers.
like muadib 'his name is a killing word'
The normal size shakers are normally left on the table. Those small ones are shaped to fit together into a box that holds 20 of them and they can be drug out to set before many guests depending on how many are coming and then scoffed back up and put back into their box which then goes into the drawer with the silverware.
The Hate Trumpsters are morons.
Oh yeah? Well Adam Schiff's chair is bigger than anyone else's on his committee.
Bigger wounds, more salt. He can handle it.
Literally shaking.
Per rehajm: He trots out the 24 inch pepper mill when he really wants a statement...
:-D
Just for fun, I googled "obama white house salt shakers," and damn if BI wasn't there first, showing us that Bush, Obama, and Clinton all used the same size shakers.
And Trump would have gotten away with it if it weren't for that snotty-nosed Business Insider reporter!

all is permitted except the truth,
Sounds like someone has a bad case of shaker envy.
Business Insider really takes their name seriously.
Rhhardin is probably right. The different sizes of salt and pepper shakers is due to the occasions where people can take their set as a 'souvenir' of the occasion. Similar to the the swag packages on Air Force One and other types of swag packs.
Note that the larger shakers are just plain old restaurant style that ordinary people have in their homes. The little shakers are more ornate and styled...even though small.
Besides...really? Who cares about this?
Those shakers are required by the ADA to enable Americans with small hands.
Rubirosa (Noun) (French slang): the tallest pepper mill in a restaurant - named after Porfirio Rubirosa (1909-1965), who was said to be spectacularly well-endowed.
Although I have average sized hands, I have much larger salt and pepper shakers than Trump.
ahem ...
correction, peloton is platoon, sometimes I mistranslate between languages,
David Byrne's power-garnering bulky suit.
That was an animated gif, tested and worked, and now it's not; giphy is one of those outfits who are afraid that someone might download a precious picture from their website.
Sometimes I hate the internet. Well, giphy and pinterest at least.
Just when thank TDS couldn’t go lower, the news media say “Hold my beer and watch this!” Except they probably actually say “Hold my Chardonnay.”
This, along with the two scoops of ice cream, is a reminder to the people at the table that he is the one in charge. In his memoirs Ronald Reagan wrote that the trouble with Al Haig, his Secretary of State, was that Haig kept forgetting who was the president. I suspect that is what happened with Tillerson, Mattis, and other ex officials in the Trump administration.
The use of salt and pepper at the table is an insult to the chef, suggesting that the food was not properly seasoned. One might as well put ketchup and hot sauce on the table.
That is not salt, it's meth. WAKE UP SHEEPLE!
Impeach!
If the shaker doesn't fit, you must acquit.
What's worse is that BI stole the story from Mediaite.

One might as well put ketchup and hot sauce on the table.
One might say that if they're in those little plastic boxes where one peels the lid off, their placement on any table would be civility enacted; yet one might feel that the "tear the corner off the envelope" ones are rather tacky, wouldn't one agree?
The use of salt and pepper at the table is an insult to the chef, suggesting that the food was not properly seasoned.
Speaking as the chef...the person who prepares the food....I always have salt and pepper as well as shichimi togarashi on the table. Sometimes more than one type of salt depending on what I am cooking. For daily use I have a wooden lazy-susan in the middle of the table to hold those items.
I like my food salty and a bit more spicy and don't expect to make others deal with my level of taste in saltiness.
What I do object to is the knee jerk use of tarter sauce, ketchup and other condiments until AFTER they have tasted the dish. I don't put those out on the table unless I want you to use it.
Often I have carefully seasoned or prepared special sauces that would be drowned out by the condiments. For example a delicate lemon caper butter sauce on fish and you drown the whole dish in a mayonnaise and pickle, store bought tarter sauce.
Maybe Trump doesn't like other people's greasy germ laden hands on his salt shaker and just keeps a pair exclusively for his own use. I get creeped out about using salt shakers in restaurants that are not sanitized between uses. It is like drinking out of an unwashed glass with lipstick stains on it. GROSS!!
The use of salt and pepper at the table is an insult to the chef, suggesting that the food was not properly seasoned.
That is definitely true in France.
I am the chef at my house and minimize salt due to high blood pressure. I have very large salt and peppers shakers so people can add whatever seasoning they prefer. It doesn't insult me.
Similar to the the swag packages on Air Force One
I have AFO Obama era M&Ms...not sure what else gets taken. There's swag bags?
I've taken these two back to back stories and made one blog post out of them.
I get creeped out about using salt shakers in restaurants that are not sanitized between uses.
Menus are the worst.
Who is willing to chip in to buy LLR-lefty Chuck and HoaxPPT a set of Trump-sized and Trump emblazoned salt and pepper shakers thru the Amazon portal?
Come on Trump team, lets get this "productized"!
At least salt doesn't have DNA in it, or at least it shouldn't have.
Having distinctive shakers also might be helpful for the president's security. Just have to check them out, not every last one.
much like telephone sanitizer, you realize the importance of that,
Come on Trump team, lets get this "productized"!
MAKE SALT & PEPPER GREAT AGAIN
"Home-X - Donald Trump Salt and Pepper Set, Fun Novelty Salt and Pepper Shakers add Spice to Any Meal"
The Salt and Pepper shackers are only for POTUS. Handled exclusivily by him or one other person, as a check to prevent poisoning.
Salt-N-Pepa - Push It
Real good... Nice. The sexual imagery is incontrovertible.
DBQ admits: I always have salt and pepper as well as shichimi togarashi on the table. .
Good girl!
The Left.
When it comes to being pussies, they never phallus
I would expect that the room is heavily monitored, in real time, videoed.
"You're a damn liar, man. My salt and pepper shakers are huge compared to his!" - Joe Biden

Yeah, the "umble man [and wife]" just bought a humble abode in Martha Vineyards for $12 million. LOL!
President Mike Bloomberg would make it illegal to put salt and pepper shakers on the table. Salt, as you know, causes high blood pressure.*
*not true, but who cares if it's actually true when we have people to save from themselves?
Thank God the free press was able to report this!!
Crikey! What are we to make of this outrage?
Did this come by way of a whistleblower?
“Obama, Bush, and Clinton used the same size shakers as their guests.”
Either the guests were really small, or the shakers were really big.
Althouse, you have to stop visiting the Onion and then calling it Business Insider.
Next you'll attribute the Onion's famous "Clinton feels nation's pain, breasts" to the Guardian.
Try to restrain yourself.
Biden:
Yeah. That Trump's a punk. Back in Scranton we'd have taken that salt shaker and stuck it where the sun don't shine. Thank God--I can say that, right?--Father Pelosi took me in hand and straightened me out. He was a great guy, yeah, a little loose with his hands, but this was the 50s, right? I mean, we always knew the score with those priests--just don't go on the retreats with fewer than ten guys...we'd beat the crap out of 'em.
Anyway, can you believe that salt shaker? Have you ever seen Obama's schlong? That guy has a pocket rocket. I'm surprised Michelle let him leave the house with that thing. BHO--armed and dangerous!
This is pure fake news from Trump.
Thanks, Mom at 3:20. I love Sunset Boulevard.
Trump:
My shaker IS big. Those other guys got small. I give Durbin a stack of fake salt packets with nothing in 'em. I say keep tryin', Dick. And he keeps tryin'. Then I make Nadler sit on a chair with a whoopee booster seat. When the thing goes off, I say, Nadler, You takin' lessons from Swalwell? These guys are all rubes. They fall for it every time.
And that picture is fake news, too. I got Pence to sit in that seat I got for Trudeau, and asked him to pass the salt. Mike is whispering to me to go easy on the two-faced, Canadian punk.
Trump:
Pence's schlong is bigger than Obama's. Almost as big as mine.
Whoever 'reported' on this needs to join those other 7,700 people currently learning to code.
Please, do not learn to code. We have a glut of illogical twerps in software already.

Dust Bunny Queen @12:20 PM: I love lemon caper sauce too. Of course a slug of good butter goes in at the last minute. Killer on haddock and tilapia.
I can't imagine why anyone would want to mess with it, unless they don't like it and are trying to kill the taste, which cannot possibly end well.
Separately, I'm a nanami togarashi guy myself. I was so happy when I found it in the local Korean grocery. They're both good, though.
Wasted away again in Mara-lagoville
Searchin' for my large shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know it's Pelosi’s fault
Don't know the reason
Impeachment all season
With nothing to show but this embarrassing crew
But there’s truth if you bend her
And soon it will render
The fake news concoction that helps me hang on
How extensively did they research the Obama, Bush, and Clinton salt shakers?
Anyway, that's not his salt shaker. That's where he keeps the meth.
Unknown 4:52
Exactly. As trad guy pointed out, this isn’t unusual in fancy dining sets. My grand parents had salt cellars and a bunch of the little shaker sets. So no one knows what is normal for the White House.
Do y’all suppose it’s possible Trump has arthritic hands & the larger shakers are easier for him to handle?
Unknown: I mention upthread that if you google "obama salt shakers" you'll see additional photos from BI, with big red circles and arrows showing that Obama, Clinton and Bush used regular-sized shakers.\
Unlike most of the commenters, I'll concede that Trump wanted bigger salt and pepper shakers. But as Lincoln said of Grant, "Find out how big is his pepper grinder, and send them to the vice president. I like him. He seasons."
"These are my salt and pepper shakers. I bought these salt and pepper shakers just so I could have as much as I want."
A four star general came to our base and requested to have breakfast with the troops. I was selected to represent our squadron. I asked my commander, "what do you say to a general?"(back when I was impressed with people's status). He recommend, "pass the salt." This was 1983.
I saw the same thing in the movie Master and Commander 30 years later. It must be an inside military thing.
What an amazing day! Two Phallic outrages in one 24 hour period. Incredible!

Errol Flynn is said to have put paprika on his dick. No mention of salt or pepper.
And don't forget, Aubrey said Nelson asked for the salt in a most obliging and civil way.
That was a society in which condescension was considered a good thing.
I've heard that size doesn't matter except with nuclear weapons and computer hard drives.
I never read Business Insider before. Just checked out the Twitter there. Every mention of Trump I saw was highly negative. No mention of the historically strong economy or anything else positive about Trump. Lots of fluffy crap though. Very few business stories. "Business Insider" seems like a poor name for what they do there. Maybe "Bubble Insider" would be better.
It's the first time I've ever seen anything 1.5 inches tall referred to as a phallic symbol.
For the next meal, I'd like to see Trump with a set of grinders instead of shakers. Big ones, the 18" tall kind that the waiters use to add pepper to your salad. The shear size, along with the symbolism of grinding his enemies into fine powder would be too, too much awesomeness.
RK, there are some [I won't mention any names] who see almost everything as a phallic symbol.
Anything which rises perpendicular to a flat surface may be construed as phallic. Note also that the word perpendicular contains the sexually suggestive elements "perp" [cf purple] and "dic" [cf. dick].
Does Schiff know about this?
The founder and CEO of Business Insider?
Henry Blodget.
'Nuff said.
"Besides...really? Who cares about this?"
Progressives with little dicks?
The usual salt shakers for a family are the larger ones.
For fancy guest occasions, fancy tiny ones like in front of Pence (?) are used so that the guest in question doesn't need to be bothered to ask for spices but has them himself.
This is pathetic, by the way.
Trumps look normal size. They look the same size as every diner I've ever been in. How many of those guest containers end up in purses and pockets? Saving a dime.
