Donald Trump ordered burger with ‘half a bun’, claims Giuliani

WASHINGTON: When it comes to food, the President of the United States is known for his specific—and somewhat unhealthy tastes. A lover of fast food, Donald Trump even has a rumoured go-to order at McDonald’s, consisting of two Big Macs, two Fillet- O- Fish and a chocolate milkshake. However, his current burger order may be somewhat more health conscious, as former New York City mayor and Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani has revealed that the President recently ordered his favourite dish with just half a bun. Speaking to The Washington Post, Giuliani revealed that the duo dined together on May 6 at the president’s golf club in Virginia. While Giuliani enjoyed a light Cobb salad, Trump ordered a well-done burger with half the bun, a choice which The Post claims was “in service to his health”. “I do that, too, sometimes,” Giuliani said. “It’s a good way to do it,” referencing the President’s unique half-bun method. But is the President really making a healthier choice by abolishing half of his burger bun? “I wouldn’t say that having a burger is an overly ‘healthy’ choice anyway,” explains dietitian Nichola LudlamRaine. “However, what I think Trump is trying to do is lower his calorie and carbohydrate intake by eating less of the bread. “For all I know he may have pre-diabetes or diabetes, which requires people to modify their carbohydrate intakes.” What would be even better from a health perspective, she told The Independent, would be if Trump were to choose a lunch that wasn’t based around processed red meat. “A chicken salad sandwich or wholemeal bread would provide more nutrients, including fibre & vitamins, as well as less salt, than a hamburger,” she added.
