President Donald Trump is personally paying for the meals that will be provided to the Clemson University football team during their national championship celebration at the White House on Monday night, CNN has learned.

CNN獲悉，美國總統唐納德?特朗普將親自為克萊姆森大學足球隊周一晚上在白宮舉行的全國錦標賽慶祝活動買單。

Earlier Monday, Trump told reporters, unprompted, that he is serving "McDonald"s, Wendy"s and Burger King"s with some pizza."

周一早些時候，特朗普自己主動對記者表示，他正在為全國冠軍隊準備「麥當勞、溫迪漢堡和漢堡王」等食物，裡面還有披薩。

"I think that would be their favorite food, so we"ll see what happens," he added.

他補充道：「我認為那將是他們最喜歡的食物，所以讓我們拭目以待」。

"The President wanted to host a fun event to celebrate the College Football National Champion Clemson Tigers," deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley told CNN in a statement.

副新聞秘書霍根?吉德利在一份聲明中告訴CNN：「總統想舉辦一個有趣的活動來為全國大學生橄欖球冠軍克萊姆森老虎隊慶祝」。

"Because the Democrats refuse to negotiate on border security, much of the residence staff at the White House is furloughed -- so the President is personally paying for the event to be catered with some of everyone"s favorite fast foods," he said.

他表示:「由於民主黨拒絕就邊境安全問題進行談判，在白宮裡就職的許多工作人員都被暫時解僱。因此，總統會親自出錢，讓大家享用一些大家最喜歡的快餐。」

Returning to the White House on Monday evening from a brief trip to New Orleans for a speech, Trump told reporters that he was providing the Tigers with the fast-food dinner -- "paid for by me" -- as a result of the shutdown.

周一晚上，特朗普結束了對新奧爾良的短暫訪問，並返回白宮發表講話。他告訴記者，由於政府關門，他將為老虎隊提供「由他買單」的快餐晚餐。

"Because of the shutdown, you know we have the great Clemson team with us, the national champions. So we went out and we ordered American fast food, paid for by me," Trump said. "Lots of hamburgers, lots of pizza."

「你知道這次有偉大的全國冠軍克萊姆森隊和我們在一起，但由於政府停擺，所以我們只得出去點了美國快餐，是我付的錢。」特朗普說：「我點了很多漢堡，還有很多披薩。」

"We have some very large people that like eating. So I think we"re going to have a little fun," he added.

他補充道：「我們有一些喜歡吃東西的大塊頭成員。因此，我認為這會讓我們得到一些樂趣。」

"If it"s American, I like it. It"s all American stuff," he added, noting the smorgasbord of pizza, "300 hamburgers, many, many french fries -- all of our favorite foods."

他說：「如果是美國貨，那麼我喜歡，這是屬於美國特有的食物」，他還提到了披薩的自助餐，「有300個漢堡，還有很多很多的薯條——所有這些都是我們最喜歡的食物。」

The display included boxes of Big Macs, chicken nuggets and Filet-O-Fish.

展品包括盒裝的巨無霸、雞塊和麥香魚。

Trump closed his brief remarks in the dining room by returning to his message of border security.

特朗普結束了關於這場晚餐的簡短髮言，回到了他關於邊境安全的講話。

"I will say the Republicans are really, really sticking together. It"s great to see because we need border security. We have to have it."

「我想說的是，共和黨人真的、真的很團結。我很高興看到這一切，因為我們需要邊境安全。我們必須擁有它。」

In a series of tweets Monday morning, Trump continued to try to shame Democrats for not negotiating with him over the shutdown, though it"s not clear he"s offering anything different than when talks crumbled last week.

在周一上午發布的一系列推特中，特朗普試圖繼續讓民主黨人感到羞愧，因為他們沒有就政府停擺問題與他進行談判，儘管目前還不清楚他提出的方案是否與上周談判破裂時有所不同。

Trump has been making a point of telling his followers that he"s at the White House waiting -- and is clearly frustrated he"s not getting credit for remaining in Washington -- as opposed, presumably, to traveling to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.

特朗普一直在告訴他的支持者們，他正在白宮等待——很顯然，他並沒有因為放棄前往他位於佛羅里達州棕櫚灘的馬阿拉戈度假勝地而是留在華盛頓而得到讚譽，他對此表示很失望。

The President has repeatedly vowed not to budge from his demand over a border wall, but rejected an idea he floated last week that he would simply bypass Congress and fund a border wall by declaring a national emergency.

總統一再發誓不會在邊境牆問題上讓步，但他拋棄了他上周提出的一個想法，即他將繞過國會，宣布國家進入緊急狀態，為邊境牆提供資金。

The White House is operating with a thinned-out staff caused by the partial government shutdown, now in its 24th day, and snowy Washington weather.

白宮的工作人員因部分政府停擺和華盛頓惡劣的下雪天氣而減少。政府關門已經進入第24天。

Much of the Executive Residence staff, who are ordinarily responsible for catering such receptions, are either furloughed or at home because of the federal government snow closure.

行政官邸的大部分工作人員通常負責為這樣的招待會提供餐飲服務，但由於聯邦政府的停擺和惡劣的積雪天氣，他們要麼是在被迫休假，要麼是呆在家裡無法出門。
