White House team given McDonald’s dinner before Trump address – Washington Examiner
Donald Trump’s affinity for McDonald’s has been highlighted in several notable instances, particularly during his time as President. Recently, the White House communications team was treated to a meal of McDonald’s before one of Trump’s addresses to Congress. Kaelan Dorr, Deputy Communications Director, posted a photo on social media showcasing boxes filled with McDonald’s items, including fries, burgers, and nuggets, as they prepared for the event. This incident further underscores Trump’s long-standing appreciation for the fast-food chain, which he has publicly embraced throughout his political career.
Trump famously campaigned at McDonald’s locations, often manipulating the brand’s image to resonate with voters by expressing his enjoyment of speedy-service food such as the Big Mac and filet-o-Fish. His love for McDonald’s is so well-documented that Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, once noted that Trump requested his favorite McDonald’s meals as a sign of recovery after battling COVID-19.
This connection with McDonald’s has sparked conversations about processed foods in American diets, with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.advocating for healthier choices while still acknowledging the appeal of fast-food favorites.The prevalence of McDonald’s in Trump’s narrative reflects a blend of personal preference and a cultural commentary on American dining habits during his presidency.

McDonald’s is a Trump favorite. He campaigned at the restaurant, scooping fries in an apron, as part of his appeal to become president. Trump also loves the food, favoring the Big Mac and Filet-o-Fish.
“I knew he was feeling better when he requested one of his favorite meals: a McDonald’s Big Mac, Filet-o-Fish, fries and a vanilla shake,” Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner wrote of Trump in his 2022 memoir after his father-in-law contracted COVID-19 in 2020.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has said he wants to “Make America Healthy Again” by limiting the spread of ultra-processed foods. McDonald’s is known for its very processed foods.
“We need to … deploy NIH and FDA to doing the research to understand the relationship between these different food additives and chronic disease, so that Americans understand it and make sure that Americans are aware,” Kennedy said. “But I don’t want to take food away from anybody. If you like … a McDonald’s cheeseburger, Diet Coke, which my boss loves, you should be able to get them.”
