It’s no secret that President Donald J. Trump is a fan of fast food, but his favourite McDonald’s dinner order has now been revealed, and honestly, this man’s on a one-way train to heart-attack station.
It comes from a revealing new book about the presidential campaign, from Trump’s former campaign manager and deputy campaign manager.
And his favourite junk food to hoof up at Macca’s? Two Big Macs, two Filet-O-Fishes, and a chocolate milkshake. That amounts to just over 10,000 kilojoules in one meal. The average adult needs around 8,700 kilojoules per day.
The authors – Corey Lewandowski and David Bossie – said meals onboard the presidential campaign plane were mostly total junk.
“On Trump Force One there were four major food groups: McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken, pizza and Diet Coke,” they wrote, with the plane’s cupboards stocked with Vienna Fingers, potato chips, pretzels and loads of packages of Oreos, because Trump, as a germaphobe, wouldn’t eat from a previously opened packet.
Other surreal passages from Let Trump Be Trump – which the Washington Post obtained an advance copy of – included expletive-filled screaming matches in which his top aids got their “faces ripped off”, Elton John blasting so loudly no one could hear themselves think, and one-time press secretary Hope Hicks steaming Trump’s suites…. while he was still wearing them.
“‘Get the machine!’” Trump would yell, according to the authors. “And Hope would take out the steamer and start steaming Mr. Trump’s suit, while he was wearing it! She’d steam the jacket first and then sit in a chair in front of him and steam his pants.”
But his temper seemed exactly what you’d hope for someone with access to the nuclear codes.
“Sooner or later, everybody who works for Donald Trump will see a side of him that makes you wonder why you took a job with him in the first place. His wrath is never intended as any personal offence, but sometimes it can be hard not to take it that way. The mode that he switches into when things aren’t going his way can feel like an all-out assault; it’d break most hardened men and women into little pieces.”
Confirmed: we’re all going to die.
