Margo Martin faces backlash for posting ballroom breakfast photo
Donald Trump‘s communications advisor, Margo Martin, documented the events at the White House for the annual Congressional Picnic on Tuesday, May 19, 2026. Melania Trump, Markwayne Mullin, Katie Miller, and Mike Johnson were also in attendance.
Martin, who Trump once called the “most beautiful photographer,” posted a photo of what the President ordered for breakfast on X, drawing immense backlash. With a picture of the offerings, she wrote, “President @realDonaldTrump asked the White House chef to make breakfast sandwiches for the press who are viewing the ballroom construction this morning.”
The picture featured a table with four trays of bacon and egg breakfast muffins, along with Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, Sprite, and water.
The lineup drew a lot of criticism from netizens, with many mocking the President for this unhealthy breakfast. “Nothing says MAHA like a can of Coca-Cola with your breakfast,” one user commented, while another added, “Not very MAHA of you, soda? Poor people can’t get soda, but the White House can.”
Another user said, “Most Americans can’t afford this spread, much less real Coke,” while another user added, “Coke for breakfast is diabolical. I know the old man is chugging that syrup around the clock.”
Many stepped forward to defend the President as well in the comment section.
During the Congressional Picnic, Trump spoke to the guests about the economy. He claimed that the economy is doing well and suggested, “Factory construction, as you heard today also is up, housing stats are up, and consumer spending is up. (via The Mirror).”
But he went on to admit that “people aren’t seeing it yet.”
