RNC Chair Describes Watching Trump Eat McDonald’s ‘Gut Bomb’ Of His Own Creation

An RNC Chair gave us the scoop on how Trump likes his McDonald’s. It’s, well, gross. YMMV (your mileage may vary). It’s cringeworthy. How does he get by with eating that all the time? Inquiring minds want to know, and likely we do too. Maybe. From Raw Story:

The chairman of the Republican National Committee dished out disgusting details about President Donald Trump’s fast food fixation. RNC chair Joe Gruters, who’s also a Florida state senator, appeared on a local government podcast and was asked to comment on one of the funniest things that had happened to him on the campaign trail, and he recounted the president’s “unique” order from McDonald’s, which The Daily Beast described as “a hideous Franken-burger.” “The amount, and what the president eats,” Gruters told the Chambers, Changes, & Conversations. “He had hot fries waiting for him from McDonald’s. Then he had a Filet-O-Fish, a Quarter Pounder, and a Big Mac, and I think he combined two of them.

Combined. Well, *that* just makes the stomach churn. Quarter Pounder and Big Mac, okay. But one of those with the Filet-O-Fish. Lawd have mercy on everyone’s stomach. Remember when he invited the Clemson University football team to make it into the College Football Playoff National Championship and served them fast food? There’s a picture out there of Trump behind a table full of McDonald’s (which could not be found, but I distinctly remember it).

Let’s hope there was a microwave handy because you *know* that stuff was cold by the time it was all set up. Fries, okay, not bad when they’re cold. But everything else? Not just no, but HELL NO. Plus, they might be stunned by all the grease and calories out there. You would think a football championship team would be eating better than that.

Gruters didn’t say which two of the sandwiches the president jammed together, but he added that Trump ordered an orange soda to wash down the gluttonous amalgamation. “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?” Gruters said. The president’s order, according to McDonald’s own nutrition guide, tallies up to a whopping 2,372 calories, well above the 2,000 calories older adult men are advised to consume in a day, and Gruters said eating just two of the eatery’s sandwiches made him “sick as a dog.”

It did? Gee, we wonder why *coughcough*. One would think that one sandwich would be more than enough for the average appetite. But three? Yea no. And in one of the potential sandwich combinations? Yea hell NO. How does he manage all that anyhow? Does he even have McDonald’s for breakfast? *cringe* and to close:

“Yeah, he loves McDonald’s brand,” Gruters said. “McDonald’s should be paying that guy – no kidding.” The president famously staged a photo opportunity last year at a McDonald’s restaurant in Pennsylvania, where he dunked fries into oil and answered reporters’ questions through the drive-through window. The notorious germaphobe expressed amazement during that stunt that he didn’t have to touch the fries with his hands, and biographer Michael Wolff wrote 2018 book “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House” that Trump likes eating at McDonald’s because, in his view, food made in advance is less vulnerable to tampering.

Yikes. He really is in love with that fast food. Now we know far too much about his greasy, cholesterol-laden favorite fast food place. And now we know the main cause for his excessive weight. (We all know his height and weight are not what he claims them to be.) Now, aren’t you happy to know this? No? Me, either. Indigestion city with a little “that’s gross” thrown in. Good grief.

Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise, among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest working. We’re a group of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
