Everyone says the same thing as RFK Jr, Trump and Elon Musk enjoy McDonald’s meal
Many people online were stunned after RFK Jr. indulged in a large McDonald’s meal with Donald Trump, his son Don Jr. and Elon Musk.
Margo Martin, Trump’s deputy director of communications, shared the photo of the MAGA bigwigs eating unhealthy fast food at X aboard Trump Force One after their performance at UFC 309 on Saturday night.
“POV: Walking past the cool kids table,” Martin captioned the post, as Trump appeared to enjoy a filet-o-fish sandwich, a Big Mac and a big boy, while his friends ate ten pieces of chicken nuggets, quarter pounder cheeseburgers and fries .
But many quickly wondered why “Make America Healthy Again” advocate RFK Jr. decided to feast on delicacies from the popular fast food restaurant, as he has long been preaching healthy living, including the fight against processed foods.
The hilarious photo of the incoming Secretary of Health and Human Services holding up his fast-food burger accompanied by a full Coke caused a stir online.
‘It is remarkable that RFK is pushing back McDonalds and Coca Cola. Willing to take the chemicals if it serves its master,” one user wrote on X.
“RFK eating McDonald’s is baffling,” said another.
Even Don Jr. commented on their tongue-in-cheek food choices, posting the same image to his X account and saying, “Make America Healthy Again starts TOMORROW.”

Many were shocked to see RFK Jr. turned to highly processed foods after long preaching a healthy lifestyle and being nominated as Secretary of Health and Human Services for the Trump administration.
“Trump can even get RFK Jr to eat McDonalds,” said another.
Someone else joked: ‘Because none of them are qualified for the adults’ table.’
“RFK Jr looks terrified of eating that,” one user said.
Someone else zoomed in on RFK Jr.’s face. and put the word ‘busted’ across the screen.
“Having the new gang member do drugs to make sure he’s not an undercover cop,” wrote another.
While everyone else paired their meals with classic McDonald’s sauces, the 47th president had set out a chic assortment of small glass jars of ketchup and mayonnaise.
Next to each of their meals were sets of gold cutlery, wrapped in luxurious napkins, as Speaker Mike Johnson stood behind the crew, smiling.
Donald Trump Jr. notably held up an iconic red and yellow chip box, while RFK Jr. grinned as he held a cheeseburger in his hands, next to a bottle of Coca Cola.
Despite being a big fan of Trump, the former independent presidential candidate has publicly denounced the Republican’s unhealthy eating habits.
During a recent interview on The Joe Polish Show, Kennedy openly criticized the Republican’s fast-food-based diet.
“The stuff he eats is really bad,” Kennedy revealed, adding that most of the president-elect’s food choices are filled with “poison.”
“Campaign food is always bad, but the food that ends up on that plane is just poison,” he said, adding that the only choice is Big Macs or KFC.
As part of his Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement, Kennedy has pledged to also crack down on foods with additives, pesticides and toxic chemicals – all of which are in McDonald’s items, including what was on his plate.
McDonald’s Big Macs are known to contain xanthan gum and dextrose.
Dextrose is often used as a sweetener additive for foods. It is a simple sugar made from corn or wheat that acts as a glucose or blood sugar leveler in the body.
It has been linked to liver abnormalities and can be especially dangerous in people who are at risk for or have diabetes because it can disrupt glucose levels and cause insulin resistance.

Insulin resistance causes the body’s cells to no longer respond to the hormone insulin, which regulates the amount of sugar in the blood. When sugar cannot enter cells and builds up in the blood, it can lead to type 2 diabetes.
Dextrose is used in several foods at McDonald’s, including the breakfast product Sausage McGriddle.
Xanthan gum is a common food additive known to cause gas and bloating, and despite being considered ‘completely safe’ for people to ingest, it can lead to digestive problems.
The MAGA group has surrendered to McDonald’s as the company continues to face backlash over a serious E. coli outbreak.
California-based Taylor Farms has recalled several batches of yellow onions after the FDA highlighted the vegetable as the “likely source of contamination.”
A man in Colorado has died, 10 have been hospitalized and 49 have fallen ill after eating McDonald’s Quarter Pounder burgers in multiple Mountain West states.
Taylor Farms said none of its products tested positive for the bacteria that kills up to a fifth of people who become ill, and that the recall was a precautionary measure.
Restaurants that have the onions in their refrigerators and storage areas have been advised to ‘destroy’ them immediately.
Near the end of his campaign trail, Trump stood behind the deep fryer of a McDonald’s in Philadelphia and manned the drive-thru in an attempt to undermine Kamala Harris.
“I’ve now worked 15 minutes more than Kamala,” Trump said after working at the fast-food restaurant, referring to his claim that his rival did not work as a student at McDonald’s as she says she did.
Video captured from the kitchen showed Trump, 78, handing out orders to a group of grateful, prearranged “customers” — Trump supporters said to have been pre-selected by his camp — who were there to watch the ex president served them food and told him why they will support him in the elections.
He was also seen dipping wire baskets of potatoes into sizzling hot oil before salting the fries and handing them out to customers.
One man, apparently accompanied by his wife, told Trump, 78, “You’re the type of person we want to be president of,” after thanking him for “everything you do.” His passenger added: “Thank you for taking the bullet for us.”
