Trump's Former Doctor Says He Had to Hide Cauliflower in Trump's Mashed Potatoes to Improve His Diet
From well done steaks to taco bowls, some of the most bizarre moments in the political career of President Donald Trump have centered around food.
You can add another moment to that list.
Former White House physician Ronny Jackson confessed to the New York Times that he regretted not fully implementing an improved diet and fitness regimen for the President.
Jackson said:
"The exercise stuff never took off as much as I wanted it to. But we were working on his diet. We were making the ice cream less accessible, we were putting cauliflower into the mashed potatoes."
Some of Trump's favorite foods include pizza, KFC, meatloaf, cherry-vanilla ice cream, chocolate cake, and McDonald's. He's been known to serve a smorgasbord of fast food at White House receptions for college athletes.
Some thought Jackson's methods demonstrated the President's infantilism.

The 73-year-old Trump has sparked concerns in the past regarding his health.
Late last year, he was unexpectedly taken to Walter Reed Medical Center and stayed out of the public eye immediately after, leading some to believe the President had suffered an emergency.
The White House insisted that this was just part one of the President's annual physical, despite the White House medical facility having all the necessary equipment to conduct a physical without a visit to Walter Reed.
Curiouser and curiouser.
