Donald Trump drinks Primitivo (and eats McDonald's)
The White House has ordered 720 cases of the typical Apulian wine. Will it be Trump's favorite? What we certainly know about the American president's tastes is that he can't resist fast food sandwiches
Apparently US President Donald Trump likes Primitivo a lot. How do we know this? The White House placed an order for 720 cases of six bottles each of the well-known Apulian wine from the Tenute Chiaromonte farm in Acquaviva delle Fonti (Ba), in the production area of the Primitivo di Gioa del Colle.
Galeotta was a tasting evening
La Repubblica tells it that has collected the statements of the owner of the company, Nicola Chiaromonte, according to which everything was born from a tasting evening in Los Angeles, organized by the American importer of the winery, in which an emissary from the White House was also present . A few days after the meeting, two types of wine left for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington: Mascherone, Primitivo Igt Puglia, a young and easy to drink wine, and Muro Sant'Angelo Contrada Barbatto, Primitivo doc Gioia del Colle, one of the most prestigious and most awarded labels of the Chiaromonte estate, an important red of almost 17 degrees produced from grapes of sapling vineyards of about 80 years.
Wine, but also Diet Coke and McDonald's
And regarding the food tastes of the President of the United States, something was also revealed in the book Let Trump Be Trump, written by two managers of Donald's election campaign, Corey Lewandowski and David Bossie. According to the authors, during the campaign period, Trump's most frequent order at Mc Donald's consisted of two Big Macs, two fish burgers and a chocolate milk shake, for a total of 2420 calories, or what a man should consume in total in one day. Not to mention the amount of salt and fat present in such a menu. On board the plane while traveling from one place to another, Trump also mainly consumed KFC chicken, pizza and Diet Coke. There were also to be industrial quantities of biscuits and snacks, the packages of which must never have been opened, due to the president's "germophobia".
Another book just released on "The Donald" (which is causing a lot of discussion about America), Fire and Fury by Michael Wolff, confirms Trump's passion for McDonald's and his sudden stops at fast food to stave off the fear of being poisoned (in fact no one can know in advance if and when he will stop to eat us and the food is prepared in a safe way). Finally, Tiffany Trump, one of the president's daughters, revealed that, if she could, her father would eat McDonald's every night in her bed.
