Some people love Donald Trump, and some people
not so much. But nearly everyone can agree that something's
just not right about the foods he eats and the way he eats them. From burnt steaks to soggy taco bowls, these
are Donald Trump's worst crimes against food. In 2017, a reporter from the Independent Journal
Review reserved a table at the steakhouse in Washington D.C.'s Trump International Hotel,
hoping to catch a glimpse of what the President ordered, and he was very surprised. James Corden shared the reporter’s findings
on his late-night talk show. “Donald Trump ordered a $54 dry-aged steak,
well-done, and ate it with ketchup.” And this wasn't the first time Trump drowned
his food this way. According to his ex-butler, Trump would regularly
order steak that was cooked so well that it would rock on the plate. Usually, it would be slathered in ketchup. “And believe me, I understand steak, it’s
my favorite food.” Trump is well-known for his love of fast food. “Burger King, Wendy’s, and McDonald’s.” And McDonald's actually might be his favorite
of all. Back in 2017, it was revealed that his regular
order at the iconic chain consisted of two Big Macs, two Filet-O-Fish sandwiches and
a chocolate shake. That in itself is a pretty bizarre order,
but things became even weirder when, in 2018, Rudy Giuliani admitted the President routinely
orders burgers with just half a bun. “Mr. Trump would like a hamburger to-go,” On the surface, it would seem that he does
this in order to mitigate some of the unhealthier aspects of the food he eats by cutting out
some of the carbs and calories. Unfortunately, this effort is slightly negated
by the red meat he's leaving on the plate. “He’s a red-blooded, red meat-eating American,
you know.” Trump doesn't let his love of fast food end
with McDonald's, though. He's also a fan of all kinds of other big
chains, including KFC. And what's wrong with that? It's fried chicken — no big deal, right? Well, the problem here isn't so much what
Trump is eating as it is just how he eats it. On August 2, 2016, while on the campaign trail,
the President-to-be uploaded a photograph to Twitter in which he was shown eating KFC
on a plate with a knife and fork. Who would do it with a knife and a fork” “Donald Trump.” “Donald Trump does?! Oh, my God! You gotta eat it with your fingers.” Of course, a cynic might argue that the whole
photo was simply staged by a campaign team trying to make it look like Trump is your
everyday, down-to-earth, totally ordinary man of the people. Because, of course, nothing says "everyday,
down-to-earth, totally ordinary man of the people" like dining on your private jet. Proving once and for all that there's no type
of fast food that the 45th President of the United States of America won't mess with for
his own amusement is the revelation that he only eats the toppings on pizzas. Trump himself told US Weekly that he never
eats the dough and instead scrapes off the toppings, so as to save on calories. It's basically the whole burger-without-a-bun
thing, except somehow way worse. So what we've really got here is a guy who
doesn't so much like to eat pizza as he does just feast on a mush of cheese, tomato and
toppings. And just in case that wasn't enough, here's
a bonus crime for you: Trump once took Sarah Palin to eat at a Times Square pizzeria and
shocked the entire city into a stupor by cutting into his pizza with — you guessed it — a
knife and fork. Yeesh. Of course, Mr. Trump's wild ride doesn't end
with just food. No, he's got a few shocking drinking habits
under his belt, too. In 2017, newspapers began to report that Trump
consumes up to 12 cans of Diet Coke every day — and even has a special button on his
desk to summons a butler. “What does that get you…” “Well, it gets you a Coke. Or gets you a Pepsi.” “Oh.” “One or the other.” It's lucky for Trump that he drinks Diet Coke
rather than the regular kind. But unfortunately, some professionals suggest
that the artificial sweeteners diet sodas utilize can confuse the brain and desensitize
the body to sugar. Drinking any soda as much as Trump does can
also lead to dementia, strokes, migraines, insomnia, restlessness, muscle tremors and
weight gain. “Give me a coke, please.” Trump's crimes at dinner don't end there,
though, and a story told to the Washington Examiner by Chris Christie in 2016 lays bare
some of his habits. Apparently, Christie had been taken out to
dinner at one of Trump's hotels in New York. After they sat down, Christie recalled Trump
telling the chef and owner of the restaurant: “‘Remember the appetizer you made for
me last week when I was here? We'll take two of those.’ [...] And he looked at me and said, 'Don't
worry, you'll love it.'" Trump deciding to order for his guests without
their permission is bad enough, but it doesn't exactly help that he appears to be pretty
unadventurous in doing so, too — when was the last time you went out to dinner and ordered
the exact same meal you had the week before? Check out one of our newest videos right here! Plus, even more Mashed videos about your favorite
