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.

I believe you are correct. Than let’s take what Trump eats and send it to his Cabinet!
IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE!!!!
Perhaps on Google’s menu, but not on McDs.
I love jelly fish tentacles with noodles.
Black eyed peas.
And a fish fillet with extra tarter sauce.
Follow that with vanilla pudding.
See, to each his own.
Besides, I despise, loathe, abominate self-righteous food snobbery with a passion.
Send them all to Sudan.
Trump is a tad on the stout side... and so what.
If they hate Trump maybe they ought to be hoping he eats himself to death, so should say nothing....
My post-hike meal was from Chic-fil-A: 8pc chicken nuggets, fries, medium soda, and a ranch cobb salad. Roughly 2K calories. I was at a calorie deficit by the end of the first hour.
Because my exertion amount for those 3 1/2hrs? 1800Kcal.
So if he's working through lunch and doesn't eat, I'm not faulting the man (and will offer seconds, too.)
If Mueller can’t get him and Melania’s shoes won’t do the trick, this — THIS! — should fire the ovens of impeachment!
You can't buy that kind of advertising.
Too bad he isn’t SMOKING CRACK like Obama. Cause that is so healthy.
I love BK grilled Whoppers and grab one when I can....which is about once a month (along with a chocolate whipped cream shake).
Heaven is.....

Sheesh!... You’d think with all the culinary/ etiquette instructions from the helpful media Trump would have polished. His manners. /s ;>)

the media/press detest the masses and their choices including food, don’t you remember how they would hound and shame Billy Clinton for his love of fast food as well?
That said, I am grossed out by fast food myself...
So you are saying that the interchangeable use of shake and malted prove the general ignorance of New yorkers
The Original "Buffalo Butt"....
I have to agree with you. If the Lord said I could eat anything I wanted without any health issues, I’d go for junk food every time. And I’m a culinary student and a student of fine food. But salt and fat beats veggies and fruit every time! Sadly...
Not only are New Yorkers ignorant, they insist on spreading the ignorance far across the nation
“Keep mustard packs by the bed. Knock one down, cramps gone. (Tumeric)”
Is a mustard pack not a poultice that you apply to the affected area?
