Donald Trump’s Food Diary: Fast Food, Nostalgia & Ketchup.When it comes to culinary preferences, U.S. President Donald Trump is anything but subtle. Known for his strong opinions on politics, business, and pop culture, his food choices are equally bold—and unmistakably American. Whether he's flying on his private jet or hosting a high-profile dinner, Trump’s go-to meals reflect his classic, no-frills taste.

1. McDonald’s :Perhaps Trump's most iconic food preference is McDonald's. He's famously a Big Mac, Filet-O-Fish, and Quarter Pounder with Cheese enthusiast. On the stump, he once informed us he enjoys indulging in McDonald's because he loves the cleanliness and consistency of food—something he values, particularly when on the road. Stereotypical Trump order? Two Big Macs, two Filet-O-Fish, and a chocolate milkshake.

2. Steak (Well Done, with Ketchup) :Trump's love for steak is not a secret, though it's the way he eats it that raises eyebrows. He prefers his steak well done, and—gasp—with ketchup. Most chefs would shudder at the request, but Trump stands firm in his quest for a cooked-through piece with a generous dollop of America's favorite condiment.

3. KFC :Another fast food mainstay, Trump is not shy about a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken. He even made headlines for eating KFC with a knife and fork on his private jet. To Trump, the Colonel's fried chicken is a comfort food that's classic Americana.

4. Meatloaf: A classic retro favorite, Trump has often spoken fondly of meatloaf, especially the kind served at Trump Tower Grill. He even prepared meatloaf sandwiches with Martha Stewart on television. This comfort food reminds one of home cooking and traditional family dinners5. Cherry

5.Vanilla Diet Coke: While technically a beverage, Diet Coke, and more so the Cherry Vanilla flavor, is reportedly Trump's preferred drink. He reportedly consumes a dozen Diet Cokes a day, typically served to him at the press of a button from a unique machine installed in the White House during his presidency.

Final Bite: Trump's food preferences may not appeal to gourmet writers, but they're now part of his larger personality: unabashedly American, direct, and driven by comfort over glamour. Whether Big Mac or ketchup with steak, his meal is a story—one of fast food, nostalgia, and a dash of controversy.
