Corpus Christi, Texas (DC Pool) \u2014 President Donald Trump made a stop at a Corpus Christi Whataburger–a hometown favorite after he delivered remarks in the Coastal Bend at the Port of Corpus Christi.<\/p>\n
Trump\u2019s motorcade pulled into the popular Texas fast-food chain shortly after his event wrapped up Friday evening. <\/p>\n
The first Whataburger opened in 1950 in Corpus Christi.<\/p>\n
Inside, he greeted patrons and asked, \u201cAre these the best burgers?\u201d Customers responded that they were.<\/p>\n
The president also asked diners whether they liked his recent State of the Union address and questioned why Democrats \u201cdidn\u2019t stand up,\u201d according to pool reports.<\/p>\n
At one point, Trump told the crowd, \u201cHamburgers for all. I\u2019d say drinks for all but I don\u2019t drink.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also touted his support in the Lone Star State, saying he received more votes from Texas than anyone, before adding he planned to grab some burgers for Air Force One and \u201cget the hell out of there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Supporters inside the restaurant cheered and one person shouted, \u201cWe love you, Mr. President!\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump was handed a to-go bag marked with a \u201c47\u201d table tag before shaking hands with the restaurant\u2019s manager and several employees. <\/p>\n
