Your Diet Is Probably Healthier Than Trump's
There are those things we always eat when we return to our hometowns. We borrow a car to cruise under the yellow drive-thru neon on those nights our moms don't feel like cooking and grab a McDonald's burger, cheap Mexican food, a hunk of KFC fried chicken. And then there are those things Donald Trump has consumed while campaigning to be the next president of the United States: a McDonald's burger, cheap Mexican food, a hunk of KFC fried chicken.
Rest assured, there's a method to his greasy madness.
On the surface, Trump eats fast food because "it's quick," as a new report in The New York Times pointed out. You'd think the towers and the investments and the small million-dollar-loan would entitle you to the quickest service no matter what, but, you know.
Trump also has a uniquely unrefined pallet. He really likes burgers. He eats his steak extremely well done.

"We should be eating a hamburger on a conference table, and we should make better deals with China and others and forget the state dinners," the Times notes that Trump once said in an interview. This gets closer to the point. Fast food is the great equalizer, and Trump will be our equal in Washington. Fast food is safe. Trump absorbs our anger into his anger and gives us safety in numbers.
But there's always elitism creeping through: the knife and fork he uses for fried chicken and pizza, the straw through which he sips Diet Coke, the burger buns and pizza crusts he discards to cut calories.

Trump wants America to know he loves fast food like America loves fast food. Just ignore everything about his upbringing, business history, and general lifestyle choices, please.
