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."
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 glutounous 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."
“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.
