Mnuchin says Trump "doesn't eat KFC and McDonald's anymore." Suggest some NEW things he might eat.



Steve Mnuchin, the secretary of the treasury, told attendees at an Axios event Friday that the president doesn't eat fast food from KFC and McDonald's anymore. He added that the offerings at the White House were "great," then mentioned that Trump's genes were "perfect."

Trump's diet has been a subject of fascination for voters and pundits alike in recent months, with rumors and social media providing periodic clues into what the tycoon eats. We now know that Trump doesn't like breakfast, avoids Oreos and chugs Diet Coke. Last May, he posted an Instagram photos of himself eating a McDonald's — French fries and a Big Mac, plus four packets of ketchup — and in August, he got widely mocked online for a Twitter picture that showed him digging into a KFC meal with a fork and knife. While his predecessor, President Barack Obama, used to snack on almonds and apples in the White House, Trump has stocked up on potato chips.

Recently, however, he's begun eating better.

"The steak-and-potatoes narrative is true," a source told Axios last month. "But he also really likes fish and seafood — so, like crab and shrimp. Things like that. He does eat salad. He'll eat like Cobb salad … He eats vegetables."

It's been sitting out in the sun a few days but I'm sure it's fine and he's welcome to swing by in his semi and pick it up.

tried to perfect in perserving the Nordic race. Injecting color in the eyes of babies to turn them blue among other experiments.
Nazi propaganda promoted the perfect gene idea.

Trump is eating KFC and McDonald's more than ever before. His diet is horrendous. When I say he's eating better I'm lying my ass off.

Alzheimers and other mental and nervous system disorders. So the diet coke seems to be working quite well.

inspired in me the most hideous vision: a bloated Trump, walking naked around a horrifyingly "faux-emperor" byzantine decorated room complete with gold on everything, compulsively masturbating.

The floors are filled with rotting fast food bags and containers. It smells like piss and porn is playing constantly on one wall stacked floor to ceiling with monitors.

His face and body is smeared with grease, cheese, ketchup, bbq sauce, pickle and onion bits.

If anything, he's gotten even fatter since occupying the White House.

Sorry, that food looks good. I would eat most of those items. I guess I would try the donut burger and the funnel cake burger. I would definitely eat everything else. The only thing I would change would be to have more juice in the beans. I would also add strawberries and whipped cream to the funnel cake.

35. I Am Not Buying The KFC Story

I do not believe Donald Trump ever ate KFC, or McDonald's. I think he has a bad diet, but I do not think it includes fast food places like McDonald's, or KFC. Maybe a large amount of people eat fried chicken with a fork and a knife, but the fact that he was sitting over a bucket of fried chicken with a fork and a knife makes me believe he had never eaten a piece of fried chicken in his life.

I think he tried to make himself look like a regular guy so all those middle class and poor people from working class communities would think he was like them. Pay attention to the food in the picture of him supposedly eating fried chicken. That food looks like it has not even been touched. The side has not even been opened. Google either Donald Trump + Big Mac, or Donald Trump eating Big Mac. In the picture you will see that the Big Mac and the diet coke seem untouched. Yes, the order of fries seems empty, but that does not mean he ate them. He could have been given an empty order with which to take a picture.

I think the same holds true with the taco bowl. It looks like he barely touched the bowl. It was likely just another picture to make him seem like a regular guy.

I think Donald Trump is a guy who eats like most rich guys who were born rich. He eats crab, lobster, shrimp, caviar, and other high end foods. Trump getting his picture taken eating high end food might not have endeared him to the middle and lower income workers whom he was trying to convince to vote for him.
