Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the former independent presidential candidate and a member of Donald Trumps transition team, is a fan of the new administration but the president-elects fast-food diet? Not so much. During an interview on The Joe Polish Show, a marketing industry podcast that aired on Tuesday, RFK Jr. criticized some of Trumps food preferences.
The stuff that he eats is really, like, bad, he stated, describing certain items on the former presidents menu as poison in some cases. The Daily Beast was the first to report his comments. Campaign food is always bad, but the food that goes onto that airplane is, like, just poison, Kennedy said on the podcast. You have a choice between you dont have the choice, youre either given KFC or Big Macs. He added that if youre lucky enough to get those, its still a challenge, as he finds the other available option to be kind of inedible.
While on a flight with Dana White, the chief executive of the mixed martial arts company Ultimate Fighting Championship, Kennedy said White claimed hes never seen Trump drink a glass of water, even on long flights.
In August, Kennedy, an environmental lawyer who has spread misinformation about vaccines, ended his presidential campaign and endorsed Trump in exchange for a role in the upcoming administration focused on public health. He added that hes not anti-vaccine but for more rigorous testing of vaccines.

(186,559 posts)Whether hes afraid of poisoning just because of his inflated self importance or because of who he deals with has not been determined as far as Ive read or heard.
It must be hard for someone like RFK Jr who is a health nut accent on nut.
Id have thought Trump had some sort of food arrangement for guests on his plane but I guess not.

(595 posts)He's in lesser shape to hold up on the stress and has what I am sure is less genuine support ( even if espoused ) from his cabinet and family. I want to see him keel in the middle of an address, that would be comedy gold.
