Tupelo, MS —President Donald J. Trump made an appearance today at the first annual MAFA (Make America Fat Again) gathering, held at a Bob’s Big Boy truck stop just off the highway in Tupelo. The event, organized by local supporters, was billed as a celebration of “American appetite, freedom of choice, and the enduring legacy of roadside dining.”

“We’re here to celebrate America’s great girth,” Trump said, addressing a crowd of red-capped attendees seated on folding chairs and balancing paper-wrapped cheeseburgers on their laps. “They’re trying to take our burgers. I say they’ll have to pry them from my cold, dead swollen hand.”

The crowd responded with cheers, though many appeared more focused on the food than the speech. Attendees lined up for triple-patty specials and deep-fried apple pies, with some noting that the event’s catering fell short of expectations.

“Trump talked a lot, but I didn’t get a burger,” said one participant, who had driven in from Biloxi. “I thought there’d be more food.”

Others seemed satisfied with the rhetoric alone. “I eat Trump’s words like beef,” said another attendee. “It’s a bit rough, but it’s all I can afford in this economy.”

The ceremony concluded with a group salute to the golden Big Boy statue, followed by a brief chant of “MAFA forever” and a raffle for a year’s supply of chili fries. No vegetables were served.
