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.

.....because he's fond of junk food.
Another “too stupid for comment” article.
What does his food choice have to do with anything? At least he is not telling others what to eat a la Michelle O.
Pizza, chicken, and Diet Coke sound good.
Make Dinner Great Again.
since when can you get a malted at McD's??? more fake news... feh
He certainly writes like one.
This is beyond grasping at straws. It’s digging into the mud with your fingernails.
Politics is a scam and we’re suckers for playing.
I wish they did. I'd eat their morning, noon and night.
Wait. I pretty much already do. I guess I'd have to go there for between-meal snacks.
Obama smoked (despite claims to the contrary about him quitting) and drank alcohol. I guess that made him a saint in the writer’s eyes.
Who cares?
I think Moosechelle ate a life size chocolate buffalo from the size of her butt.
B. Hussein ate dogs
That his religion says is haram
But we have to care about Trumps cuisine
Did the same people worry about who/what O’bastard was eating?
I wonder how true this could be. That's a LOT of food for one sitting, and Trump's not THAT big.
To paraphrase Abraham Lincoln with regard to then General Ulysses Grant, I would say find out what he eats and send him more of it!
But when Bill Clinton did it - it proved he was a man of the people.
For myself, I find that McDonalds Crispy Chicken sandwich is pretty darn good. It’s my go-to meal after finishing a long hike in the mountains.
And don’t forget that evil second scoop of ice cream.
