'Not Sure How He's Alive' Says RFK Jr About Trump's Eating Habits And Drinking Diet Coke

US President Donald Trump’s eating habits have drawn a blunt and unusually candid assessment from Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, who described them as “unhinged” and dominated by fast food, candy, and Diet Coke.

Speaking on a podcast, Kennedy said Trump regularly consumes what he called “really bad food,” with McDonald’s, sweets, and Diet Coke forming a constant part of his routine. “The interesting thing about the president is that he eats really bad food, which is McDonald's. And then candy and Diet Coke,” Kennedy said, adding that Trump drinks Diet Coke “at all times.”

<h2>“Pumping Himself Full of Poison”</h2>

Kennedy, who has travelled with Trump, painted a vivid picture of the president’s food habits on the road. “If you travel with him, you get this idea that he's just pumping himself full of poison all day long,” he said.

Despite the criticism, Kennedy also expressed disbelief at Trump’s physical resilience. “He’s got the constitution of a deity,” he remarked. “I don’t know how he’s alive, but he is.”

<h2>Why Trump Trusts Fast Food on the Road</h2>

According to Kennedy, Trump has his own reasoning for relying on food from large corporate chains while travelling. The president, he said, believes such food is safer and more predictable.

“[Trump] says that the only time that he eats junk food is when he's on the road, and he wants to eat food from big corporations because he trusts it,” Kennedy explained. Trump reportedly worries about falling ill while travelling and prefers food he considers consistent and hygienic.

Kennedy added that Trump’s energy levels remain astonishing despite his diet. “You don’t know how he’s walking around, much less being the most energetic person any of us have ever met,” he said.

<h2>A Shift in Tone on Trump’s Health</h2>

While Kennedy’s comments about Trump’s diet were sharp, he later struck a more positive tone about the president’s overall health. He said that, in his view, Trump is in excellent physical condition and does not always eat poorly.

“I think he actually does eat pretty good food usually. He's got incredible health,” Kennedy said.

<h2>Medical Tests and ‘Exceptional Health’ Claims</h2>

Kennedy also cited a medical assessment conducted by Dr Mehmet Oz, referencing Trump’s test results. According to Kennedy, Dr Oz reviewed Trump’s medical records and found unusually high testosterone levels for someone over 70. “He’s got the highest testosterone level that he’s ever seen for an individual over 70 years old,” Kennedy said, adding that Trump would likely be pleased to hear that repeated publicly.

Last month, the White House released details of an MRI scan that described Trump as being in “excellent health.” In a memo, Trump’s physician, Navy Captain Sean Barbabella, said the president’s cardiovascular system was in excellent condition, abdominal imaging was normal, and “all major organs appear very healthy and well-perfused.”

<h2>Addressing Age and Visible Bruising</h2>

The medical disclosure came amid ongoing public scrutiny of Trump’s health, particularly as he is set to turn 80 in June and is the oldest person ever sworn in as US president.

The White House also addressed visible bruising on Trump’s right hand, explaining that it was linked to aspirin use as part of a standard heart-health regimen.

<h2>Inside Trump’s Latest Medical Report</h2>

Following a recent checkup at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Trump’s physician described him as being in “exceptional health.” The evaluation, which lasted roughly three hours, included lab tests, advanced imaging, and preventive health assessments as part of his ongoing health maintenance plan.

During the visit, Trump also received his annual flu shot and a Covid-19 booster vaccine.

“President Donald J. Trump remains in exceptional health, exhibiting strong cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological and physical performance,” Barbabella wrote in a one-page memo released by the White House.

The doctor also assessed Trump’s cardiac age, noting that it appeared to be about 14 years younger than his actual age. Trump is currently 79.

Despite questions around his fast-food-heavy diet, official medical reports continue to present a picture of a president who, by clinical measures at least, remains remarkably fit for his age.
