Donald Trump’s preference for fast foods including McDonald’s, while travelling, is a matter of concern to those around him. Health Secretary Robert Kennedy jr. described the president’s eating habits as most “unhinged”, acknowledging on a podcast that he often eats “really bad food.”
“He’s pumping himself full of poison all day long,” Kennedy said, from McDonald’s burgers and fries to Diet Coke and candy. But it’s a different story when the president is at Mar-a-Lago, his resort in Florida. There he eats healthy.
The dichotomy is explained by Trump’s fear of falling sick while on the go. “When he’s on the road, he eats food he trusts,” Kennedy said. So McDonald’s, while unhealthy in every respect since it is deep fried, is preferred by Trump.
How does that impact Trump’s health? Kennedy says the president has the “constitution of a deity” even though he is on record as warning in a report that fast food is “damaging the health of American children. This crisis results, in large part, from decades of policies that have undermined the food system and perpetuated the delivery of unhealthy food to our children.”
“I think he does eat pretty good food usually,” Kennedy continued. “I mean, he’s got incredible health.”
He then revealed that Dr. Mehmet Oz, Trump’s Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, had looked at the president’s medical records and informed him that he had the “highest testosterone level that he’s ever seen for an individual over 70 years old.”
“I know the president will be happy that I repeat that,” Kennedy added.
White House spokesperson Kush Desai told the Daily Beast in a statement, “Secretary Kennedy is right: as his golf championships and flawless physical report results indicate, President Trump has the constitution and energy levels most young people could only dream of having.”
