A close ally of Donald Trump has revealed his ‘grotesque’ McDonald’s order, which includes a bizarre combination of burgers and an unexpected drink. Find out what the President’s go-to fast food meal looks like.
A close ally of former President Donald Trump has shared a bizarre and somewhat shocking detail about the 79-year-old’s McDonald’s order, and it might make you rethink your next fast food stop.
During a recent podcast appearance, Joe Gruters, a longtime Trump supporter and chair of the Republican National Committee in Florida, lifted the lid on the President’s peculiar late-night fast food habit. According to Gruters, Trump’s go-to meal from McDonald’s is nothing short of a fast food Frankenstein.
Trump’s Go-To McDonald’s Meal: A Fast Food Frankenstein
When asked to share a memorable moment from his time working with Trump, Gruters didn’t hesitate to reveal the President’s unusual eating habits. “He had hot fries waiting for him from McDonald’s,” Gruters began, “Then he had a Filet-O-Fish, a Quarter Pounder, and a Big Mac, and I think he combined two of them.”
Yes, you read that right—Trump apparently creates his own fast food hybrid by squashing together two burgers. While Gruters didn’t specify which burgers were combined, it’s safe to say that many of us are secretly hoping the Filet-O-Fish stays untouched. Just imagining this combo is enough to make a dietitian weep.
A Surprisingly Sweet Drink Choice
In an even more surprising twist, Gruters mentioned that Trump ditches his usual Diet Coke for an orange fizzy drink. While it’s unclear whether he prefers Fanta or McDonald’s Hi-C Orange Lavaburst, it’s a departure from his usual choice, and it adds another layer of intrigue to his already unique order.
Gruters couldn’t help but express his surprise at how Trump, despite his age, manages to indulge in such calorie-laden meals. “I’m thinking to myself, how does the guy that’s as senior as him get away with eating all this McDonald’s on a consistent basis?” he admitted, adding that after eating just two burgers himself, he felt “sick as a dog.”
The Caloric Overload: Just How Much Is Trump Eating?
According to McDonald’s nutritional information, Trump’s reported order clocks in at roughly 2,372 calories—already exceeding the recommended daily calorie intake for men his age. That’s a hefty meal by any standard, and it’s no surprise Gruters was left in awe of how Trump could consume such a calorie overload without seeming to be affected.
Trump’s McDonald’s Love Affair: More Than Just a Meal
Trump’s love for McDonald’s has been well-documented over the years. A year ago, he even visited a McDonald’s restaurant during his campaign, where he was seen handing out orders and cooking food—though the restaurant was closed to the public during the visit.
Additionally, Trump’s now-famous McDonald’s meal aboard a private jet with Elon Musk, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and his son Donald Trump Jr. made headlines last November. Gruters jokingly suggested, “McDonald’s should be paying that guy. No kidding.”
A Call for McDonald’s to Pay Back
With his consistent love for McDonald’s, Gruters humorously suggested that the fast food chain should consider a special tribute for the former President, saying, “Ronald, if you’re reading this, maybe make a plush toy for the POTUS to slide into happy meals in return.”
