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.
