President Donald Trump constructed his own mega McDonald’s sandwich while eating from the fast food restaurant chain on the 2024 campaign trail, according to Republican National Committee chair Joe Gruters.
Gruters, an ally of Trump, told the “Chambers, Changes & Conversations” podcast he didn’t expect to witness the amount of — and what food — the president eats while traveling on his plane.
“He had hot fries waiting for him from McDonald’s ... And then he had a Filet-O-Fish, a Quarter Pounder and a Big Mac and I think he combined two of them,” said Gruters, who did not reveal which two sandwiches Trump put together.
He added that the president also had an orange soda although he did not specify what kind of orange soda the president selected from McDonald’s (the chain notably serves Fanta orange soda as well as a non-carbonated, HI-C Orange Lavaburst juice).
“I’m thinking to myself, ‘How does a guy that’s as senior as him get away with eating all this McDonald’s, probably on a consistent basis?’” Gruters remarked.
