  • Now, what's your favorite thing here, Mr.President?

  • I like it all, I like it all, it's all good stuff.

  • Great American food.

  • President Trump likes fast food, a lot.

  • He's made no secret of it.

  • Especially while on the campaign trail in 2016.

  • What was a day on the road mean in terms of meals for you?

  • You know, what's breakfast, lunch, and dinner?

  • It's not -- it's not -- probably healthy, but I'm not sure I believe in that.

  • You know, you eat -- who knows?

  • You know they say, don't eat this food.

  • Don't eat that.

  • Well, maybe those foods are good for you?

  • When you roll up at a McDonald's, what does Donald Trump order?

  • -A fish delight, sometimes.

  • Right?

  • The Big Macs are great. The Quarter Pounder with cheese.

  • I mean, it's great stuff.

  • In the book "Let Trump Be Trump," former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski described Trump's campaign diet.

  • One order reportedly consisted of two Big Macs, two Fillet-O-Fish sandwiches, and a chocolate milkshake, which adds up to 2,430 calories.

  • But Trump's love of fast foods predates politics.

  • He's even put his seal of approval on a number of brands.

  • A Big and Tasty for just a dollar?

  • How do you do it? What's your secret?

  • It's wrong, isn't it?

  • -But it feels so right. -Then it's a deal?

  • Yes, we eat our pizza the wrong way!

  • Crust first.

  • According to Trump, he's a big fan of a burger and fries for two reasons, consistency and safety.

  • -I like cleanliness. I like clean.

  • And the one thing about the big franchises, you have to have a certain -- you know, because of the importance -- one bad hamburger, you can destroy a McDonald's.

  • One bad hamburger, you take Wendy's and all these other places, and they're out of business.

  • Have you got to the stage where you might worry about, you know, getting a food taster in there?

  • Somebody tries to slip something in there?

  • -Well, I never even thought about it until now.

  • Sorry.

Now, what's your favorite thing here, Mr.President?
