Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. didn’t hesitate when asked which member of Donald Trump’s Cabinet has the “most unhinged eating habits.”
According to Kennedy, it’s the president himself.
The remark came on the latest episode of a podcast hosted by Katie Miller, the wife of White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller.

Miller laughed at Kennedy’s swift response and struggled to keep a straight face as he explained why.
“The interesting thing about the president is that he eats really bad food,” Kennedy said, pointing to Trump’s fondness for McDonald’s and Diet Coke.
Kennedy added: “He has the constitution of a deity. I don’t know how he’s alive, but he is.”

The vaccine skeptic then offered a partial defense of the president, saying Trump insists he eats “really good food” when at his Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida, or the White House, and only turns to junk food from major corporations when traveling “because he trusts it and he doesn’t want to get sick.”
“If you travel with him, you get this idea that he’s just pumping himself full of poison all day long and you don’t know how he’s walking around, much less being the most energetic person any of us have ever met,” Kennedy added.
Despite mounting concerns in recent months about Trump’s fitness and mental acuity, Kennedy later praised the president’s “incredible health.”

He also claimed that Mehmet Oz, the former TV talk show host and heart surgeon who now leads the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, had reviewed Trump’s medical records.
According to Kennedy, Oz “looked at his medical records and said he’s got the highest testosterone levels that he’s ever seen for an individual over 70 years old.” Trump is 79.
“I know the president will be happy that I repeat that,” Kennedy added.
