But CNN being CNN, they were obviously looking for an angle that would give the anti-Trump Resistance something to chew on, and it looks like they found one:
President Trump — whose diet is often a rotation of steaks, burgers and meatloaf — faces a potential shock as he prepares to travel to India, where Hindus are the majority and cows are revered as sacred. https://t.co/jMfBqB2OV8

Modi is a devoted vegetarian & plans to serve vegetarian food to President Trump, according to people familiar with the planning. Trump will sit for several meals while he's in India, including a lunch and a formal banquet.@Kevinliptakcnn @vmsalama https://t.co/m2jmZiOcsK

CNN can always be counted on for the hottest of takes.
Happy Monday. Will this be the dumbest headline of the week? https://t.co/u5GiikjZeE

That might even be better than CNN’s previous bombshell:

They’re constantly outdoing themselves!
Did you know food has never, ever been transported in planes before? Literally never. Trump will starve

There sure are some gems in there:

So Trump is an uncultured buffoon who has never traveled abroad in his life? I'm sure the President is aware of Hindu culture and beef consumption.

"People familiar" say Trump once ate two steaks in one day! pic.twitter.com/5dY4wlW59Q

"A person close to the President" says he's never seen Trump eat a vegetable! Well, other than salad. pic.twitter.com/MDSpJhSyhF

But this is the best. The real Taj Mahal, not Trump's casino in Atlantic City pic.twitter.com/BTBZLubrUc

Thanks @kaitlancollins we were confused about that. Hack. #FakeNews

If Trump ever goes to Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas CNN will also no doubt feel compelled to point out that it’s not the actual place where Caesar slept.
