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.

Maybe Trump should call out all the “journalists” who eat at Micky D’s. Apply the same standard to them. They aren’t trustworthy to report the news because of their eating habits.
Yes, of course.
A russian car is a vehicle that no one out of Russia makes and is basically unexportable.
Like pizza...it's the water! And also the syrup.
Without looking it up, tell me what a "BLACK COW" is.
We get our U Bet every September during the Jewish holidays, lol!
Don’t engage with that idiot, lol. He thinks U-Bet is a road sign in Croatia.
We can get it at our local independent grocery store all year long. And we do keep a large-ish supply in our own walk-in pantry.
ROTFLMSO; you’re no doubt correct about that! ;^)
