'That's three dinners': MS NOW analyst pounces on new report on Trump's eating habits

During an MS NOW report on a Wall Street Journal deep dive into Donald Trump’s declining health, former Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson was bemused by a side note about the president’s eating choices and quantity consumed at one sitting.

On New Year's Day, the Journal released a report that revealed that White House insiders are now admitting the 79-year-old president is showing his age in multiple ways which has his inner circle making accommodations for him.

With the report digging into the president’s penchant of dozing off, or appearing to doze off, during White House meetings, the Journal reported that the president has balked at some of his doctor’s suggestions about exercise and cutting back on his excess intake of aspirin as a blood thinner.

For Robinson, a final note in the report on Trump’s diet made him laugh.

The Journal reported, “Trump said he hasn’t made changes to his diet. In a podcast interview in October, Republican National Committee Chairman Joe Gruters described being shocked by Trump’s eating habits when they traveled together during the campaign. While flying to a campaign event, according to Gruters, Trump consumed french fries, a McDonald’s Quarter Pounder hamburger, a Big Mac and a Filet-O-Fish.”

That led a smirking Robinson to first joke about Trump’s sleep defense as him merely blinking, telling the panel, “I mean, first of all, if he's blinking in in those meetings, in those occasions where he seems to fall asleep, those are the longest blinks in history, right? Those are blinks that last a long, long time. So that's not really credible.”

“There is a passage in which someone reported seeing Trump eat and Trump, at a meal at a single sitting, ate, apparently, a McDonald's Quarter-Pounder with cheese and a Big Mac and a Fillet o’ Fish, that is like three dinners,” he laughed. “Is that the way this president dines? And with that quantity? And should that perhaps be alarming — he's going to be 80 years old later this year. It doesn't seem he's really taking care of himself.”
