There's more chuckling from inside the Trump administration, and this time, the Secretary of Health and Human Services has turned against the Commander-in-Chief. As one of the president's closest advisors, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is all about making America 'healthy' again. Unfortunately, the MAHA mantra might be lost on the MAGA leader.
Remembered as that guy who swam in raw sewage, offering his own unique take on how to combat the measles outbreak, and even telling the American public to ignore his own advice, RFK Jr. has become something of a comedy character in Donald Trump's cabinet.
Still, there's no denying that the 71-year-old is in great shape, frequently showing off as he pumps iron and flexes his muscles. But what does the Secretary of Health think of the POTUS' infamous diet of McDonald's and Diet Coke?
Speaking to Katie Miller (wife of White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller), RFK Jr. laid into the president's diet and accused him of pumping 'poison' into his body.

When asked about the cabinet's most 'unhinged' eating habits, RFK Jr. struggled to keep a straight face but quickly put the president in the firing line when he told Miller: "The interesting thing about the president is that he eats really bad food, which is McDonald's and Diet Coke.
It's true that Trump is said to have a special button for Diet Coke on his desk, and with this, Kennedy added: "He drinks the Diet Coke at all times, he has the constitution of a deity. I don’t know how he’s alive, but he is."
Still, with Kennedy being slammed over America's revamped dietary guidelines, he's not exactly one to talk.

RFK Jr. clarified that Trump says he only eats bad food while on the road, tending to eat much better when he's at Mar-a-Lago.
President Trump has branded himself one of McDonald's' 'most loyal' customers, and even spent a shift serving fries in Pennsylvania when on the campaign trail. The 2018 book Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House claims that Trump loves the golden arches because he's worried he'll be poisoned. With McDonald's strict food safety guidelines, he feels safe tucking into a burger (or three) from the establishment.
RJK Jr. reiterated this, saying: "He wants to eat food from big corporations because he trusts it and he doesn't want to get sick when he's on the road."

Then again, he concluded: "If you travel with him, you get this idea that he's just pumping himself full of poison all day long, and don't know how he's walking around. Much less being the most energetic person any of us have ever met."
As for Trump's Maccies order, a 2017 memoir by former campaign managers Corey Lewandowski and David Bossie said a typical order might include Big Macs, two Filet-O-Fish sandwiches, and a chocolate milkshake (Trump calls it a "chocolate malted").
Trump has previously shared his love for the Fillet-O-Fish as his favorite item, although he has suggested that Ronald add a little more tartar sauce.
Even if RFK Jr. might not agree with Trump munching on McDonald's, he did maintain that the president is in 'incredible health'. All the more reason to celebrate with another Filet-O-Fish.
