Donald Trump's Bizarre Eating Habits

12. He orders a lot of cheese

Extra cheese, please! When Trump stopped for a meal at the Red Arrow Diner in New Hampshire during his campaign, he ordered a deep-fried macaroni and cheese to go along with his cheeseburger and fries and washed down the meal with his go-to drink, Diet Coke. You won't exactly find these types of decisions on the list of 35 Tips for Being Healthy While Dining Out, which is what you'll want to do to stay slim.

11. He's picky about his fries

While this tidbit remains unconfirmed, Deadspin picked up on a funny Trump story relayed on Twitter about his french fry preferences. Writer Jen Deaderick tweeted about it, saying her former roommate was a pastry chef at a restaurant where Trump ate. Trump ordered fries but kept sending them back to the kitchen, about three or four times saying they weren't good enough. The head chef eventually sent someone to the store to buy Ore-Ida frozen fries, which were served to Trump who called them perfect.

<snip>

7. But he doesn't like pizza crust

Ah-ha. There's a reason Trump eats his pizza with a fork, after all. He explained to the Daily Mail it's a comfortable method because he likes "not to eat the crust." The fork, he said, allows him to scrape off the top of his pizza. Trump also said that by not eating the crust, it helps him keep his weight down. We know plenty of people who still use their hands to eat pizza and not eat the crust, but hey, to each their own.

5. He eats fried chicken with a fork

The Donald has given us a treasure trove of fast food photos. Over the summer, Trump tweeted a photo of himself, again, on his jet, with a big ol' bucket of KFC fried chicken, plus a container of possible gravy. The internet poked fun at him for eating the fried chicken with a fork. The Washington Post had a lot of fun with the photo, analyzing it and concluding that Trump likely ordered KFC's $20 Fill-Up, complete with 8 pieces of crunchy chicken, a large coleslaw, four biscuits, and two sides of mashed potatoes. Gravy-drenched fried chicken isn't on our list, but you can actually eat healthy at KFC.

<snip>

1. He orders his steak super well-done

Foodies might be offended by this one, but Trump likes his steak well-done—and then cooked some more. In fact, his longtime butler Anthony Senecal dished to The New York Times that Trump would order his steak so well done that "it would rock on the plate."

pizza crust, either, so I give him a pass on that. Still, he could just cut the crust off using a knife or slicer, and then eat the pizza slice without a fork.

He scrapes off the stuff from the crust.

I hate eating with my fingers and use a fork on ribs, fried chicken and even pizza. I know it makes me a freak and weird.

Of course, I'm not gonna pester staff waiting on me as he does, but how and what I eat isn't all that bizarre.

There are far more important things about the drumpf that's bizarre enough.

If it's well-done, anything even potentially unsanitary would have been cooked out of the meat, and there'd be no blood coming out of it's "whatever".

Whether implants or veneers or plates, a piece of rawhide isn't meant to be chewed by humans with expensive dental work.

I bet the butler runs it through the food processor after Tramp examines the incinerated carcass.
