Trump swaps his beloved Big Macs for salads and soups

"SNIP......


Donald Trump has traded cheeseburgers for salads in the presidential diet—at least some of the time.

The president, whose trademark dinner on the campaign trail consisted of two McDonald’s Big Macs, two Filet-o-Fish sandwiches and a chocolate milkshake is cutting back following doctor’s orders to drop a few pounds, according to three people familiar with the matter.

Less red meat, more fish. 

One person said it’s been two weeks since he saw the president eat a hamburger.

......


Trump so far has embraced the new regimen, giving aides the impression he feels he is thriving on his new diet, they said.

........SNIP"

You are the president. You can eat anything you want to.

Now go ahead and order two buckets of KFC with lots of mashed potatoes and gravy.

Sudden changes to a diet that was very high in fat and sugar can cause major mood swings.

Sort of opposite what happens when a vegetarian eats red meat. (I think the Simpsons had an episode about this. Very scientific!)

I care. I'm done with trying to give Trump credit for things like his democratic gun control stance on wednesday when he is just going to flip back. I hear the meme that it is Trump's Republican Party. No. It is all republican all the time party. The republicans want to be known as Trump's underlings so if he gets impeached by democrats they can say to Democratic and Independant voters 'we were just following Trump'. To Trump's base who would be angry they'll say 'we were supporting Trump'. IMHO. Just a guess. With little exception, Trump policies are full on republican. The Republicans, the NRA, ALEC, FOX News and the usual GOP suspects are the ones in control.

at you. Just the world in general.. the m$m that gets excited about what he does from one second to the next, and forgets to mention that he's not normal.

First of all, he isn't going to let anybody tell him what to do, and secondly, he is hating this and can't wait to scarf down that next bucket of KFC and gravy. He has no self-control or discipline. I give him a day or two, max.
