Former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. commented on President-elect Donald Trump‘s food choices in a Monday interview on The Joe Polish Show, calling the food on Trump’s plane “poison.”
Trump is known for his love of unhealthy fast food, while Kennedy has been trying to grab a spot in the president-elect’s administration to accomplish his goal of “Making America Healthy Again.”
“The stuff that he eats is really, like, bad,” Kennedy said. “Campaign food is always bad, but the food that goes onto that airplane is, like, just poison. You have a choice between — you don’t have the choice. You’re either given KFC or Big Macs. That’s, like, when you’re lucky, and then the rest of the stuff I consider kind of inedible.”
Kennedy also said UFC CEO Dana White told him “he’s never seen Trump drink a glass of water.”
While Trump has encouraged Kennedy’s MAHA movement, he hasn’t embraced its ideals, which include eliminating processed food, in his fast-food lifestyle. The president-elect is known to favor Coke and famously ordered a fast-food feast for the NCAA college football champions, the Clemson Tigers, in 2019.
Trump ordered the feast mainly because workers in the White House kitchen had been furloughed in the government shutdown, but it gave further insight into his dining preferences.
Kennedy hasn’t been placed into a position within the Trump administration yet, but a top position in the Department of Health and Human Services is likely to be his goal.

“I will get the corruption out of our government agencies and Make America Healthy Again,” Kennedy said two days after the election. “This is what I’ve been doing for 40 years.”
If Kennedy is appointed to such a position, he’ll face long odds to be confirmed in the Senate, where Republicans have a 53-seat majority but aren’t fully convinced of Kennedy’s utility.
