"My method is I read an article about something, you know, and I get convinced that, oh, I gotta have this stuff,” he said. “And then I get it and then six months later I’m still taking it. I don’t remember what the article said. So, I end up with a big crate of vitamins that I’m taking, and I don’t even know why.”

Kennedy said Trump had the most "unhinged" diet of the administration officials.

He also explained that Trump eats from fast-food chains while he's on the road because he "trusts it" not to make him sick.

World class idiot.

There is a tiny shred of logic to it. Trump fears being poisoned, and if he eats food that is specifically prepared for him then that's a perfect opportunity for someone to target him. Whereas if he gets takeout from a random drive-through there's no way a poisoner would know ahead of time which hamberder to contaminate.

That tiny shred of logic is buried under a mountain of idiocy, of course.

Or he eats like a child whose parents spoiled him so badly, that they let him eat ANYTHING he wanted, because it was just easier to have the maid get him McDonalds than listen to his endless shrieking tantrums if he didn't get what he wanted. His childish dietary demands were always indulged, so he never learned to eat like an adult.

He might be right. His gut has been so conditioned to horrible food, if he ate a vegetable, it would probably constipate him for a week.

In reality it would be the opposite. The fiber in fruits and vegetables would give him the shits.

I had nearly the same thing happen to me once. I spent 13 weeks eating nearly every meal from an institutional cafeteria. All veggies were canned, 90% of everything else was fried, probably a solid half of my diet was bread. When my friends got me from the airport, we went to dinner together and I had a very tasty quinoa salad. An hour later my guts were rumbling in a way I haven’t felt before or since. I spent that first night on or feet from the toilet.

That sounds like mild food poisoning to me. Canned vegetables still have their fiber.

I bet that is more bs than not. That prez eats fancy food and lies about eating fast food to appeal to america's fat selfish pricks, it's perhaps biggest demograpgic.

No, he's not food-oriented at all. When he is forced to eat adult food, he likes his steaks cooked like shoe leather, with ketchup. This, for the guy that tried to start a mail-order steak company.

Probably heard that Warren Buffet lives in Omaha, so he assumed he owned Omaha Steaks, so he started a steak company to be like Warren, just like he wants Venezuela, so he can have as much oil as his friends the Saudis. The guy is always coveting what someone richer has.
