Trump’s White House chef reveals the SECRET behind his McDonald’s habit – and why Melania will never eat the same meals

The truth about Donald Trump’s McDonald’s habit at the White House, as well as what he will eat for his first meal upon his return, has been disclosed by his former chef.

Ahead of his second tenure at the White House, chef Andre Rush has advised Don to stop serving burgers and give up Diet Coke.

As he clinches the keys to the office, Andre outlined what the Republican should be doing to prepare himself psychologically and physically in an interview with The Sun.

Chef Rush is a well-known American chef and veteran of the military who has millions of followers on social media.

Beginning in 1997, he served as a chef in the White House under Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump.

When the celebrity chef was photographed using his enormous 24-inch biceps to prepare a Ramadan feast for a White House dinner in 2018—during Trump’s presidency—he became well-known.

He quickly rose to fame as a TV personality chef, abandoning his position as White House chef.

However, Chef Rush has shared the specifics of what it was like to prepare for Don.

Trump was spotted working inside one of his favorite takeout restaurants, McDonald’s, on the afternoon before the election, serving food.

Additionally, Donald Trump Jr. shared a photo showing himself, his father, Elon Musk, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. laughing at McDonald’s mountains on X.

Trump even ordered Big Macs, Quarter Pounders, and Filet-o-Fish to serve a football team at a 2019 State Dinner.

Chef Rush, however, disproved the notion that the president-elect would routinely order McDonald’s.

“You can’t just order McDonald’s at the White House at night,” he remarked.

“It sounds good, but it doesn’t actually happen. They would make [the burgers] in-house.

“[You] can’t get McDonald’s at the White House because it’s the White House – no one can bring it inside.

“Even so, that would take huge preparations and even McDonald’s wouldn’t know it was going there.

“That’s work – so the McDonald’s would be more so when out on locations.”

In his first administration, Trump had a number of often unhealthy eating habits due to his hectic schedule in office.

But in the face of Trump’s second term, Chef Rush fears he will keep scoffingfast fooddespite him set to become the oldest ever leader of the US.

While the President-elect “can still have those same eating habits” like he did when he was first President in 2017, they should be taken “very sparingly” and “not all the time”, Chef Rush said.

But the chef cut Trump some slack – explaining that the Republican in office was “a man that was on the go”, and therefore was hard for him not to get fast food.

He said: “I would say to him, especially eight years later and at age of 78, is just stop for a second, dictate your meals, get what your dietitian, whatnot, and say, ‘Hey, I’ll incorporate some healthy meals into my diet’.”

Trump may soon be in tense discussions with worldwide tyrants likeVladimir PutinorKim Jong Unas the worldwatcheswith bated breath.

And with the Republican set to have a stacked schedule with such world-altering meetings, Chef Rush stressed how massively food plays a role in mental clarity.

He added: “You know, sitting at the state dinners or for personal meals – what you eat is going to dictate how you perform.

“So I would say to him: think about what you’re eating.”

The meal that a president first eats when they enter the White House after winning the election is “a very big deal”, according to Chef Rush.

And, having made Trump’s first meal in 2017, he doesn’t think the Republican will sway from his own tradition.

Chef Rush said: “He’s [either] going to stay on the road and say, ‘Hey, I’m going to eat my favorite foods and I’m not letting anybody change me’.

“Or ‘I’m going to eat something that’s going to be healthier to let everybody know that I’m taking a stance and I’m going to kind of go forward with it’.

“But me personally, I think he’ll probably just stay to what he believes in and maybe have a burger.”

Trumpis known as a big foodie and has been regularly spotted scoffing chicken nuggets or burgers before washing it all down with a Diet Coke or Pepsi.

He is a proud lover of American food and – more often than not – very American portion sizes.

Incrediblebehind-the-scenesfootage from Trump’s successful election campaign emerged, providing a rare insight into the days leading up to his historic win – and what he eats under stress.

The clip shows him munching on nuggets and working on his speeches againstDemocratic rival Kamala Harris.

Trump can also often be seen with a bottle of Diet Coke near his banquet of junk food, with Chef Rush confirming that the President-elect “doesn’t drink water”.

He warned: “Everybody eats McDonald’s, but also at the same time, do not eat McDonald’s every day.

“Nothing against McDonald’s, but do not eat McDonald’s every day.”

Chef Rush also revealed that Trump’s wife Melania would never be seen eating the same he did – and their meals weren’t “even close” in similarities.

He added: “Most definitely you’re not gonna catch her eating the exact same thing he eats.

“Sometimes you won’t catch him eating at the same time, or at the same time, cause she may be on her diet, or have a diet, or he may be on the fly and on the run, and stuff just happens that way.”

Trump’s second term

Trump sensationally defied the odds to be re-elected as US President after a nail-biting election.

The outspokenRepublicandefeated his humiliatedDemocratrivalKamala Harrisafter one of the most tense build-ups to polling day inhistory.

But two assassination attempts and trash talk failed to dampenTrumps parade and he again clinched the keys to theWhite House.

On January 20, Trump will be sworn into office in a ceremony held at the U.S. Capitol.

After taking the Oath of Office, the new president officially begins his term.

Once he’s taken office, Trump should be nominating his key cabinet members and other senior staff.

These appointments need to be confirmed by the Senate.

And some positions, like secretaries of state, defense, and treasury, are critical for the functioning of the executive branch.

Trump can then begin implementing his agenda through executive orders, which are legally binding directives to federal agencies.

This is often one of the first actions a new president takes to address immediate policy concerns.

Once in office, Trump will begin receiving classified intelligence briefings to get up to speed on national security matters.

This is an ongoing process that continues throughout the president s term.

Trump may also begin discussions with members of Congress to ensure cooperation on their legislative agenda.

Early engagements often focus on key priorities like economic plans, healthcare, or national security.

Both during the inauguration and in the weeks following it, Trump is expected to often give speeches to outline his goals and vision for America.
