A new memoir implicates the Filet-O-Fish in a 2,400-calorie dinner.
“Trump’s appetite seems to know no bounds when it comes to McDonald’s, with a dinner order consisting of two Big Macs, two Fillet-O-Fish, and a chocolate malted.”
This 2,400-calorie meal is among the details in a forthcoming book by Trump’s former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski and aid David Bossie, as described in a preview by The Washington Post.
A dinner of that size would offer caloric energy for a full day. The 3,400 milligrams of sodium more than doubles the American Heart Association’s recommendation of 1,500 milligrams per day. The meal provides almost no fiber—and also offers more white bread than anyone would do well to eat in a week. This is all ominous for the president’s cardiovascular system.
So is the lack of variety. The book’s authors, who traveled with Trump early in his presidency, write: “On Trump Force One there were four major food groups: McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken, pizza, and Diet Coke.”
Keeping the Coke sugar-free is an interesting line to draw—especially as a man who once said, “I have never seen a thin person drink Diet Coke.”
The food enters the President not only in abundance, but with haste. Ivanka Trump said in a 2015 interview with Barbara Walters, “I wish he would eat healthier and maybe slow down. Sometimes I tell him, like, ‘Oh, you have to, you know, slow down.’ But it’s the only speed he knows ...”
All of this could be taken as simple evidence of Trump’s cultural vacuousness. He should know other speeds; he has dined with other people. He should enjoy a wide array of foods; he has been afforded the opportunity to have anything he wants.

mmm making me hungry for a fish sand
I remember also daily lunch postings for the Obama girls at school. That was very highbrow, while the public school kids had gray matter for their prescribed lunch.

Impeach 'im! Impeach 'im today!!!
Trump is trolling them again. They bite every single time.
Besides if he ate organic they would find something wrong with that.
So far I have had at least 8 McRibs
Hugh and series. Stop the presses!
A year from now Trump can say “Look what Russia did for America. It is Great Again.”
They didn’t seem to complain when Bill Clinton went to McDonald’s.
I myself am a fan of globalist, diverse food. Heck, I'm going on a food tour in Thailand next month.
But it doesn't bother me in the slightest that Trump eats at McD's.
“Jim, let me tell you something. There’s gonna be a whole bunch of things we don’t tell Mrs. Clinton.”
Because:
1) I think it instructive to observe the machinations of the other side.
2) It amused me.
Just think of the great example he would set if he ate like her - a soy burger on a lo-cal bun with a pickle slice and lettuce leaf (no salt!), arugula, boiled peas, ultra-skim milk (no chocolate milk allowed!), carrot sticks, and dried apple slices for dessert. Yum!
Why, he might even find himself as svelte and trim as Moochelle herself!
There is one thing that unites the living (Trump and us) and the dead—the Democrats and their Savior allies on the right: hunger.
My Walking Dead Official Cookbook and Survival Guide says that the average person needs 2000 calories just to schlep around the day.
OTOH, when you are fighting the Undead you need at least 3000 calories.
President Trump gets more done before breakfast than most people do by noon.
He needs the calories. He’s a calorie burning machine.
It tickles my living funny bone to see the democrat and RINO Undead standing at the fence, groaning and squealing, the biting and hurting, complaining that they are unable to eat us, manufacturing this nonsense as they try to get past Donald “Rick Grimes” Trump.
“.....because he’s fond of junk food.”
Paging Dan White.
.because he’s fond of junk food....He’s making the Norks, Haitians and Venezuelans envious. The Brits, also. Kidney pie sucks.
The Mincing Beta Male writers over at the Atlantic Drink Soy Milk and eat Vegan, they have more estrogen in their systems than Melania.
I’m still upset that my local Mickey D’s doesn’t have Big Mac Mondays anymore.
For $2.19 each it was worth it, but I would never pay regular price for one.
Waaayyy back in carhop days, McDonalds served a malt. Kroc got rid of that when he trimmed down the menu.
