RFK Jr. Questions Trump’s Health Amid Poor Eating Habits
Recent remarks from Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Health and Human Services Secretary, have raised concerning questions about former President Donald Trump’s health. During an appearance on the “Katie Miller Podcast,” Kennedy discussed Trump’s eating habits, particularly his preference for fast food, which he characterized as “unhinged.”
RFK Jr. Highlights Trump’s Eating Habits
On January 13, Kennedy pointed out Trump’s well-known affinity for McDonald’s and sugary snacks. He described the former president’s diet, mentioning frequent consumption of candy and Diet Coke. Despite this unhealthy eating pattern, Kennedy expressed disbelief at Trump’s vitality, stating, “I don’t know how he’s alive, but he is.”
Trump’s Fast Food Preferences
Trump’s connection to fast food is well-documented. Notable incidents include:
- Serving McDonald’s during a White House visit for the Clemson Tigers in 2019.
- Visiting a McDonald’s drive-through during his 2024 campaign.
- Reporting that his administration frequently dines on McDonald’s catering on Air Force One.
Kennedy clarified that while Trump prefers fast food on the road, he often eats healthier meals at his private Mar-a-Lago estate or the White House. He remarked that traveling with Trump provides the impression of a constant diet of poor food choices.
Trump’s Health Status
Despite concerns regarding his diet, Kennedy stated that Trump is in “incredible health.” He cited an assessment from Dr. Mehmet Oz, who claimed that Trump has the “highest testosterone level” he has observed in a man over 70. Kennedy humorously added that Trump would appreciate this information being repeated.
The discussion on Trump’s health comes amid various public observations. He has been seen with bruises on his hands—attributed to heavy aspirin use—and has exhibited signs of potential health issues, such as slurred speech and noticeable leg swelling due to chronic venous insufficiency.
As skepticism about Trump’s well-being continues, Kennedy’s insights highlight the dichotomy between the former president’s eating habits and his perceived health status. Such a contradiction fuels ongoing speculation regarding the former leader’s overall fitness.
