Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Jokes About Trump’s Fast Food Habits
In a recent interview, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shared his thoughts on President Donald Trump’s fast food preferences, humorously commenting, “I don’t know how I live.” This exchange took place on the “Katie Miller Podcast,” where Miller asked Kennedy who he believed had the “most disordered eating” in the president’s cabinet. Without missing a beat, Kennedy stated, “The President,” eliciting laughter from Miller.
Kennedy elaborated on Trump’s eating habits, noting, “Oh, the funny thing about the president is that he eats really bad food. It’s McDonald’s, and then he has caffeine and Diet Coke. He drinks Diet Coke all the time. He has the constitution of God. I don’t know how he survives, but he does.” Interestingly, he clarified that when Trump is at Mar-a-Lago or the White House, he tends to choose “really good food,” reserving fast food for travel days.
“I think you can see that when you travel with him,” Kennedy observed. “It’s like he’s storing his addiction in his body for a day, and you just wonder how he manages to be the most energetic person we’ve ever met. Generally, I think he actually eats pretty well.” This rather human insight gives a glimpse into the complexities of Trump’s food choices.
White House Press Secretary Khush Desai backed Kennedy’s perspective, pointing out that Trump’s impressive physical and energy levels resemble those of much younger individuals, a fact evidenced by his golf championships and clean bill of health during regular check-ups.
Kennedy has previously been open about his concerns regarding Trump’s fast food consumption, stating that “the food he eats is really, really bad.” He remarked on the poor quality of campaign food, comparing it to “poison” and lamenting the lack of choices during those times.
Concerns around Trump’s health have resurfaced lately, particularly after reports of him undergoing a CT scan during a medical appointment at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center last October. This visit marked his second medical exam in 2025, and he has consistently claimed to be “in excellent health.”
As Trump prepares for his second presidential term, discussions about his health are becoming more frequent, especially when compared to President Joe Biden, who stepped away from his reelection campaign over health concerns.
Trump, who will celebrate his 80th birthday in June, is set to break the record for the oldest president ever elected if he wins a second term at 78. Notably, recent reports indicate a slight weight drop for Trump, who was categorized as obese two years ago.
He has also discussed his health routine, mentioning that he takes high doses of aspirin for heart protection, showcasing an awareness of his health needs as he navigates the challenges of leadership.
