Because Hamburgers are probably what they see as the most typical American Food they can think of, and they probably are just trying to come up with random shit like that that will irk the Americans as much as possible.
Probably works quite well. Trump might launch a nuke for less really.
Credulous people will believe almost anything but if you sprinkle mundane shit inbetween the supernatural bollocks it makes it all the more palatable. This is obviously an extreme and ridiculous case but generally it's designed so idiots believe it all and the more sensible ones discount the most outrageous elements but buy the everyday things that could conceivably be true.
That's how you build a cult if personality.
Ayyyyyyyyyyy time for a song break
Sidenote this is a fun little bit to play around with:

The same day as Manaforts house was raided by the feds:
Donnie's getting scared.
I swear, he's turned twitter into a telegram there.
There were ten minutes between those first two tweets. It's like he decided the military wasn't accepting something from now on, but hadn't decided what.
He's efficient, you have to give him that.
The usual bores have decided this is an "alarming" thing to lie about. He lies about everything, so I fail to see why this particular lie is somehow worse than anything previous.
The whole thing comes down to the obvious military deterrent of the US. The North Koreans could fire off a missile or two if they really wanted to but, to quote Truman, they could expect a rain of ruin from the air the like of which has never been seen on this earth. They'd be flattened within about a day, and they know it. It would basically be a suicide mission, the equivalent of running at the police with a gun so they shoot you, and you imagine that Kim would be taken out before it came to it.
The idea that, if they were mental enough to go ahead with it, they'd squander that small window to fire weapons by using them against Guam - fucking Guam - is also patently ludicrous.
Time magazine is just trash anymore but this little quiz is fun. Would you qualify for a green card under Cotton & Trump's new proposed point system?
http://amp.timeinc.net/time/4887574/...on/?source=dam
If it keeps all the TTH riffraff out I may just have to change my whole position on immigration.
That's fucking obscene. I'm 2 points off.
I would qualify.
Impeachment time.
I miss out by three. I'm not sure what it more lol between bothering to list Nobel Prizes and Olympic medals, or the fact that they don't qualify you on their own.
It is such a ridiculous combination of "can you be a completely average Silicon Valley employee " or "can you compete in the Olympics?"
How are you missing out? Your doctorate and fluent English alone get you to twenty two points. I qualify but only just. Bang on the minimum points.
The most lol thing about it by the way is that a gold medal in 2008 gets you zero points.
The higher degrees all specify 'science, technology, engineering, or mathematics', so I only get five points out of that section. I suppose I could try and call myself a 'Social Scientist', but they would be well within their rights to chuck me in Guantanamo Bay for that.
If you are going to qualify, there really is no point to Trump at all is there?
Time to start arming the resistance with more than just pussyhats.
Trump himself wouldn't qualify unless you give him an 'Excellent' for his English ability, which he absolutely would not get on the test.
I'm in even without a job offer, just. Of course, once I get the Nobel Prize, it's smooth sailing.
(Not that I'd want to live in the US, now or ever)
Thank God the wife has citizenship, as I'm on 27 points, I figured being a white male basically guaranteed me 100 points.
24/30, should have worked harder at ski jumping
21/30. College drop-out. Those questions over income and investment are shocking. "Hi, are you a millionaire? Come to America, please." Makes the land of opportunity look like the land of desperation.
22 for me. I have a professional certification though that surely must count for something.
Three off. After I good start I thought I had it in the bag and was genuinely considering it.
I have 25 points without a job offer, and I need to get one of those for over $80,000 to get in.
I can't think why anyone (from western Europe, at least) would want to live there anyway.
Agree, the US is nice to visit but I wouldn't want to live there.
I've vaguely thought that I might like to live in Canada at some point. It's got the best things about the US without all of the shit.
Canada seems like a great place to live. -40c in the winter would get a bit much though.
Canada sounds so boring to me. At least Australia has decent sport and a decent sky colour, though the upward inflection would do for me in the end.
Yeah no reason to live in Canada unless you fucking LOVE ice fishing
Canada would be lovely if you like outdoors and winter sport. Montreal is a fantastic city too - one of the best.
Canadians are good people.
This Jacques Villeneuve single suggests otherwise:
Yeah but Bryan Adams.
Bryan Adams bought a pub near his house so he could shut it down because he didn't like living near a pub. He's a cunt.
Which highlights how silly this is. A job that would qualify you in the Bay Area, Seattle, or New York would disqualify you in Albuquerque, Fayetteville, or Greensboro. The material standard of living would be the roughly the same and any skill shortages are in the latter not the former.
I would live in Montreal in a heartbeat if I could live in the city. Place is fucking awesome.
I wish I would've been more focused on my studies when I was younger so I could just up and move like that.
I wouldn't make it at the moment but would once I qualify (I think). I'm not 100% sure what my degree would count as from the choices given.
French-Canadian, which says it all really.

Half of Republican say that they would let Trump postpone an election. More proof that there's at least a solid 25% of people who are utter morons.
For fuck sake.
With their personalities, they'd probably be best buds in any other walk of life.
They're probably best friends anyway. This is all a bluff until Un announces a new TRUMP hotel in Pyongyang.
Someone swapped their haircuts round and Trump with Kim Jong-Un's hair is a dead ringer for Louis Van Gaal. Un with Trump's hair looks like the gay best friend in a straight to video romantic comedy sequel.
The one on the right is Velma with Freddie's hair, and the one on the left is Shaggy with Scoobie's hair.
Scooby Doo had hair? (outside of him being a dog obviously)
Technically fur.
Honest question - can anyone stop Trump if he starts to really ratchet up the rhetoric? Like, I suppose the military could just not do anything if he orders them, but nobody can stop him taunting North Korea until something gives, right?
I don't really see what's wrong with his North Korea stance. He's just calling their bluff
