Friend Of Donald Trump Reveals His ‘Grotesque’ McDonald’s Order

A close ally of Donald Trump has shared a vivid story about the former president’s McDonald’s order, describing how Trump mixes several sandwiches and drinks orange soda, with hot fries handed to him as he boards his plane. Florida senator Joe Gruters, now chairman of the Republican National Committee, recounted the scene on the Chambers, Changes & Conversations podcast.

Gruters said Trump’s meal included a Filet-O-Fish, a Quarter Pounder, and a Big Mac — two of which he combined into one “Franken-burger.” He added that Trump’s fries were timed perfectly to stay hot, joking that “McDonald’s should pay the president with what he eats.”

The story quickly circulated online, adding to the long record of Trump’s fondness for fast food. During his presidency, Trump was known for relying on McDonald’s meals while traveling, often ordering multiple sandwiches and shakes — a habit detailed in memoirs by former aides Corey Lewandowski and Jared Kushner.

Gruters’ account also noted Trump’s choice of an orange soda instead of his usual Diet Coke, though the brand — Fanta or Hi-C — wasn’t specified. The detail caught attention as another glimpse into Trump’s well-documented eating routines.

Media outlets compared the calorie count of the meal to earlier estimates of Trump’s orders, which have exceeded 2,400 calories. Gruters even admitted he felt “sick as a dog” after trying two sandwiches himself.

The anecdote reflects Trump’s habit of using fast food as both comfort and campaign theater. He has often stopped at McDonald’s locations during rallies, turning casual meals into photo opportunities.

While Trump hasn’t commented on Gruters’ remarks, the story reinforces his image as a creature of routine — favoring familiar brands, consistent orders, and stage-managed moments that blend personal habits with political performance.
