I ate like Trump for a week. I don’t understand how he is still alive

Donald Trump’s diet is that of a child, just a bland bonanza of beige – and it properly affected my body.

It was a picture that revealed more than just Donald Trump’s inner circle. Following the jubilation of the US election, the grinning president-elect was pictured on board Trump Force One tucking into a McDonald’s with Elon Musk and Robert F Kennedy jnr. Donald Trump jnr, seated to his right, would later joke that Kennedy’s mission to “make America healthy again” would have to wait until “tomorrow”. Trump’s penchant for fast food was once again in the spotlight. But what does his diet consist of?

Breakfast – nothing. Lunch – nothing. Dinner – a McDonald’s, KFC, pizza or a well-done steak. Twelve Diet Cokes a day, and snacking on Doritos. The man appointed to become his own health secretary, RFK jnr, described what Trump eats as “poison”.
