President Donald Trump's massive McDonald's order has resurfaced online as he defends his health in a recent interview. The 79-year-old, the oldest to assume the presidency, has faced persistent health rumours during his first year in office, including visible bruises and apparent drowsiness.
The order, first recounted by former Republican National Committee Chairman Joe Gruters, includes French fries, a Quarter Pounder, a Big Mac, and a Filet-O-Fish. This meal totals 1,960 calories and about 225 mg of cholesterol, nearly a full day's recommended intake. Adding a chocolate milkshake, as Trump often does, brings the calorie count to over 2,700.
Trump takes rosuvastatin and ezetimibe to control his cholesterol, according to his physician, Navy Captain Sean Barbabella. In the interview with the Wall Street Journal, Trump insisted his health is 'perfect' and expressed frustration over scrutiny of his well-being.
The President also clarified that a previously mentioned MRI scan in October was actually a quicker CT scan. He attributed bruising on his hand to daily aspirin use, taking a high dose of 325 milligrams. He denied falling asleep in public, claiming he merely closes his eyes to relax.
Trump's love for McDonald's is well-documented; he even worked behind the counter during a campaign stop in October 2024. The fresh reporting of his order went viral on X, drawing critical comments about his health and diet.
