Book reveals Trump addiction to junk food
His former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, revealed the president's unhealthy eating habits.
President Donald Trump is addicted to junk food and consumes large amounts of foods considered very unhealthy, his former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, revealed in a book due out Tuesday.
"Trump's appetite seems to have no limits when it comes to McDonald's, with a dinner order consisting of two Big Macs, two Filet-O-Fish and a malted chocolate," he wrote in the book "Let Trump be Trump." "Let Trump be Trump"), written with an assistant, David Bossie.
In total, this meal - which you would never advise a family member - represents about 2,400 calories, a very unhealthy diet for a 74-year-old man who only plays golf occasionally.
A preview of the book was published by The Washington Post, describing the plane's cabinets as "stacked with Vienna Fingers, French fries, pretzels and many packets of Oreos."
What could not be missing on the plane where candidate Trump was traveling? The fast food. According to the book, "There were four main food groups: McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken, pizza, and Diet Coke."
The preference for this last drink is curious, points out the Post, because it is known that Trump declared: "I have never seen a thin person taking Diet Coke."
The book notes that "Trump's orchestration and timing of meals were as important as any other aspect of his path to the presidency."
Lewandowski and other senior advisers had to carefully time the delivery of hot and fast meals for Trump's plane when he traveled to campaign rallies.
The fondness for Oreo packages could be explained because the president "has a known phobia of germs" and refuses to eat from a previously opened package. For this reason he apparently consumes very well cooked steaks.
Of course, this unhealthy diet has effects on Trump's health. A letter from his doctor released in September 2016 revealed that he takes cholesterol medication and was overweight, at 236 pounds for his 6 feet 3 inches tall.
