HuffPost on how Trump takes his steak
■ The pieces
- HuffPost: "Donald Trump Prefers His Steak Well Done, AKA The Worst Possible Way" (2016-03-15)https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/donald-trump-steak-well-done-disqualified_n_56e8267be4b065e2e3d747ce
- HuffPost: "If You Judge People For How They Like Their Steak, You Might Be A Trump Supporter" (2016-03-18)https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-well-done-steak_n_56ec54bbe4b084c672203a4b
■ What they show
One HuffPost food item mocked Trump for ordering his steak well done and called that the worst possible way to eat it. A HuffPost item a few days later carried a headline suggesting that judging people by how they like their steak is something a Trump supporter would do.
■ The other side
These are light lifestyle pieces, probably by different writers. Dates come from HuffPost's article IDs (both March 2016, not 2017 as in the brief), and the second headline may have been rewritten later; HuffPost pages could not be opened directly to confirm bylines.
Who it helped: DemocratsMocked Trump supporters over a food preference.
