WASHINGTON (TNND) — Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. said President Donald Trump’s diet is so unhealthy that he doesn’t “know how he is alive.”
Kennedy joined “The Katie Miller Podcast,” hosted by Katie Miller, the wife of White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller. She asked Kennedy who he believed in the cabinet possessed the most “unhinged eating habits.” Without batting an item, Kennedy named Trump, who famously worked a shift at McDonald’s during the 2024 campaign.
“The interesting thing about the president is that he eats really bad food, which is McDonald’s, and, you know, candy and Diet Coke,” Kennedy said.
“He drinks the Diet Coke at all times.”
“He has the constitution of a deity,” Kennedy said. “I don’t know how he’s alive, but he is.”
However, Kennedy, who is spearheading the Make America Healthy Again movement, said that Trump’s poor eating habits only occur when he’s traveling.
“When he’s at Mar-a-Lago, or he’s at the White House, he’s eating really good food,” Kennedy told Miller.
“I think if you travel with him, you just get this idea that he’s just pumping himself full of poison all day long, and you don’t know how he’s walking around, much less being the most energetic person.”
A month after Trump’s election victory, Donald Trump Jr. posted a picture with his father, Elon Musk, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and a begrudging Kennedy with a feast of McDonald’s aboard Trump’s private plane. The caption of the post read “Make America Healthy Again starts TOMORROW.”
“He says that the only time that he eats junk food is when he’s on the road and he wants to eat food from big corporations because he trusts it,” Kennedy said. “He doesn’t want to get sick when he’s on the road.”
Although Kennedy bemoaned Trump’s “junk food” diet; he gave a nod to Trump’s high testosterone levels.
“He has incredible health,” Kennedy said “Dr. [Mehmet] Oz looked at his medical records, he said that he has the highest testosterone levels he has ever seen for an individual over 70.”
“I know the president will be happy that I repeated that,” Kennedy continued.
Just last week, Health and Human Services and the Department of Agriculture released the Upside Down Food Pyramid to accompany new federal dietary guidelines, which puts a heavy emphasis on Americans eating proteins, dairy, and healthy fats, as well as fruits and vegetables.
