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.

Disconcerting...
Grab My Pearls!
McDonald's serves malts?
“He probably takes a couple bites out of each of the items...who knows?”
True. And, as I’m confident most will agree, who cares?
More fake news from Partisan Media Shills. Thanks Simon Green. OTOH:
This is just keeping the fish on the line.
One more reason to hate Trump. He eats whatever he wants and has the energy of 5 men, Dammit!
If I had the $$$ I would eat 3 of Trump’s 4 food groups. I only drink water or milk with meals :)
Can you get more gamma than this? What a little beeotch Lewandowski is.
Be didn’t seem to have a problem with Obummers propensity for eating dicks.
For the sake of good health think 90, or at least 85.
I was an Airborne Infantryman in Viet Nam at 18.
I think having 50 years after that is doing well. If I make to 85 or 90 great, but I am going to enjoy life rather than work at extending it.
Well if this guy got to be as energetic and robust by eating this stuff, then we all should. He was 70 years old going non-stop, morning, noon, night, campaigning all over God’s green earth. I nearly died of exhaustion just watching him.
Along the same theme, if Russia got this president into office (which they didn’t), then the whole country owes a good deal of thanks to them. Never has one president done so much to help America in such a short time span.
A big thank you to Russia, and MacDonalds.
Have a recipe for that? There is one texas restaurant that does only this and it sells out everyday. Can’t remember the name.
This is serious stuff. Why didn’t The Atlantic inform us before the election? I would not have voted for Donald J. Trump.
I would have gone to Chicago and voted for him twice.
On second thought, Barry's most likely a catcher, not a pitcher, so Michael's large butt just adds inertia to his pitching.
No, they serve chocolate shakes not chocolate malts.
There is a major difference in flavor.
Mustard is your key to that ailment.
Keep mustard packs by the bed. Knock one down, cramps gone. (Tumeric)
This is Trump's real "crime". He has been exposed to the globalist, diversity, "sophisticated" food BS. And he has rejected it in favour of the food of the American Folk.
Trump eats what he likes, instead of choking down the foreign muck the the liberal elite insists he "should" like.
Go Trump!
Like Obama in Iowa,” Have you seen the price of arugula lately?”
POTUS eats Big Macs and Filet-O-Fish?! Does he not know he must eat tofu and grow his own peas & carrots?
The funniest thing about the article is that the author is serious.
