Kennedy Shares Candid Details About Trump's Eating Habits
US Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr recently offered a humorous and revealing look at President Donald Trump's relationship with food. During an appearance on The Katie Miller Podcast this Tuesday, Kennedy did not hold back when discussing the President's dietary preferences.
"The President" Has Most Extreme Eating Behavior
Host Katie Miller asked which cabinet member displayed the most unusual eating behavior. Kennedy responded immediately and directly. "The president," he stated without any hesitation. This straightforward answer set the tone for the rest of their conversation about Trump's food choices.
McDonald's, Candy and Constant Diet Coke
Kennedy described Trump's frequent reliance on fast food during travel. He specifically mentioned McDonald's, various candies, and Diet Coke as regular components of the President's on-the-road diet. "The interesting thing about the president is that he eats really bad food — which is McDonald's — and then, you know, candy and Diet Coke," Kennedy explained. He emphasized that Trump drinks Diet Coke constantly throughout the day.
Despite these questionable dietary choices, Kennedy expressed genuine amazement at Trump's physical condition. "He has the constitution of a deity," Kennedy remarked. "I don't know how he's alive, but he is." This comment highlighted the apparent disconnect between Trump's eating habits and his visible energy levels.
Trusting Corporate Food While Traveling
Kennedy provided insight into Trump's reasoning behind his fast food preferences during travel. According to the Health Secretary, Trump specifically chooses large corporate food brands when away from home to avoid potential illness. "He says that the only time that he eats the junk food is when he's on the road and he wants to eat food from big corporations because he trusts it," Kennedy shared. "He doesn't want to get sick."
The Health Secretary noted that Trump reportedly eats much healthier food at Mar-a-Lago and the White House. However, staff members who travel with the President often witness a different reality. "People who travel with him think he's just pumping himself full of poison all day long," Kennedy revealed. "And you don't know how he's walking around, much less being the most energetic person any of us have ever met."
Surprising Health Assessment Despite Diet
Despite his detailed description of Trump's fast food consumption, Kennedy ultimately affirmed the President's overall health. "But I think he actually does eat pretty good food usually," Kennedy concluded. "I mean, he's got incredible health." This assessment comes shortly after Trump himself joked about being one of McDonald's most loyal customers.
Growing Focus on Presidential Health
Trump's health has received increased attention as he approaches his 80th birthday in June. He currently holds the distinction of being the oldest person ever sworn in as US president. If he completes a second term, he would reach 82 years old while in office, making him the oldest sitting president in American history.
The White House has actively worked to project confidence in Trump's fitness for office. Officials have released medical updates addressing growing public scrutiny. Last month, they disclosed results from an MRI scan describing Trump as being in "excellent health." They attributed visible bruising on his hands to routine aspirin use rather than any underlying health concern.
Trump Addresses Age and Health Questions
In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, Trump pushed back against renewed questions about his age, stamina, and appearance. "Let's talk about health again for the 25th time," Trump said dismissively when addressing reports that he appeared drowsy at public events.
He specifically denied falling asleep during meetings, suggesting instead that photographers sometimes capture him blinking. "Sometimes they'll take a picture of me blinking," Trump explained. "They'll catch me with the blink."
Daily Aspirin Regimen Explained
Trump also discussed his daily medication routine during the interview. He revealed taking approximately 325 milligrams of aspirin each day, which exceeds typical recommended doses. Trump stated this regimen helps keep his blood "nice and thin." He connected this aspirin use to bruising on his hands and mentioned occasionally using makeup to cover these marks.
Following a comprehensive medical examination at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in October 2025, Trump's physician confirmed the President remained in exceptional health. This medical assessment supports Kennedy's surprising conclusion about Trump's physical resilience despite his unconventional eating habits.
