Overview
- On The Katie Miller Podcast, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said President Trump often eats McDonald’s, candy and constant Diet Coke while traveling, quipping he seems to be “pumping himself full of poison.”
- Kennedy added that Trump says he eats healthier at Mar-a-Lago and the White House and opts for big corporate chains on the road because he trusts their food not to make him sick.
- Kennedy said Dr. Mehmet Oz reviewed Trump’s medical records and told him the president had the highest testosterone level he had seen in someone over 70, a claim reported by Kennedy rather than released in an official medical report.
- A White House spokesperson responded that Trump has exceptional energy and a strong constitution, aligning with the administration’s previously released medical summaries describing the president as in excellent health after his October 2025 evaluation.
- The comments gained rapid media traction as Trump’s age and stamina remain under scrutiny, creating awkward optics for an HHS chief leading a dietary crackdown while publicly critiquing the president’s fast-food habits.
