Overview
- On Katie Miller’s podcast released Tuesday, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said the president eats McDonald’s, candy and constant Diet Coke while traveling.
- Kennedy said Trump chooses big corporate chains on the road because he trusts them to be safe and to avoid getting sick.
- He marveled at the president’s stamina, saying Trump has “the constitution of a deity” and adding, “I don’t know how he’s alive.”
- The comments draw attention to Kennedy’s Make America Healthy Again Commission, which has criticized fast food for harming children’s health.
- The White House points to medical evaluations — an October 2025 Walter Reed exam and a recent MRI summary — describing the president as in exceptional health, as Trump recently told the Wall Street Journal he takes 325 mg of aspirin daily and sometimes uses makeup to cover bruises.
