On display, if not on the menu, was government à la Trump

[NewAmerica]

Failed to get the humorous expression "On display, if not on the menu, was government à la Trump."

Does "American government in the style of Trump was on display, if not like that the American government was on the menu for Trump to eat/enjoy"?

Thanks in advance

It's a very weak joke. It means "government was being done in Trump's style, although the food on the menu was not called 'à la Trump'" (á la ___ is a common way of naming French dishes, and this was a French restaurant). It doesn't have any deeper meaning than that.

Does "being done" mean "being completely destroyed"?

No. It means "being carried out".

How in the world did you come up with that?
