Trump’s Disgusting Bedroom Habit Exposed: Michael Wolff | Inside Trump’s Head
I know when he got to The
White House in 2017, there was some kind of major kerfuffle about this
because he didn’t like to eat in the, in the dining room. He like to eat in his bedroom. Like to eat in his bedroom? Yeah, in the bed, I suppose. And, so wait, wait a minute. In the white House,
he eats in his bedroom. On his bed? Yes. when he originally got there,
it really sounded like he was, you know, like the feral child. Michael. Joanna. So back again. Back again. Here we are. I thought today we could focus on Trump’s relationship with food. Since it is Thanksgiving,
that would be a good choice. It’s Thanksgiving, and I imagine. Is he having turkey? What’s going on inside his head? At Mar-A-Lago? Is it an unlimited,
all you can eat buffet? What is his
what is his Thanksgiving dinner? Yes. First. Well, I don’t know. So we’re going to have to
just imagine this. But I have a sneaking suspicion it won’t. The Thanksgiving dinner
will be a lunch spread. And it might be, at the golf club. The golf club is not Mar a Lago. The golf club is about 15 minutes away. But that’s where the buffets happen,
right? Trump loves a buffet. And and, and the staff, the people, the Trump people point out, they love to point out
this is not like, like a, you know, hotel buffet, which have been
really devalued over the years. Right? This is like the old fashioned buffet. Everything they say, the stations,
they they refer to the stations with some, some, some reverence. So, so what are that? There’s like ham stations, the hams,
the pork station, the beef station and the lobster station. So you can get your own
individual lobster. I’m, I’m channeling the,
the the way people talk about this. I mean, they speak of this
as a real kind of, you know, achievement to to be able to go to the buffet at the golf club. Well, and it speaks to a certain
lavishness and luxury lifestyle that we thought of
in the sort of 60s and 70s. when the buffet was, was before the buffet
just became a lot of steam trays. Right. And say that no steam trays. They say that no steam tray.
And what is the steam? The steam tray is the thing underneath it
that keeps it warm. Yeah.
It’s just that, you know, I mean, in most of these places,
you know, you know, your Marriott buffets across the country, it’s just,
Marriott is not a sponsor, are they? No, they’re not just. But we’d like you to be a sponsor,
Marriott. So if you’re listening,
if you’re listening, and if you were a sponsor, I wouldn’t be saying this about
about your reality phase. Truthfully, he might, but actually, we could do
something positive about your buffet. But anyway, it’s a lot of overheated food. Not at the golf club. Okay, so at the golf club, it’s
fresh meat made for you. Okay. Oh, it’s made for you, right. Okay. So you could have an omelet
if you want it. You know, you can have anything. Okay? There’s nothing like the sun, right? And how big? The shrimps are? The biggest in the world. Big picture shrimps. Tell me about the food at Mar-A-Lago.
Because I know you’ve eaten. They’ve had some. I and I have Milani, which I’m
so envious about sitting between them. And with that,
you never got your drop with my hand out. Just trying to get that drink
which never, ever came. Although Trump say you want to drink. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know I need a drink
and then that’s it. Do you want a drink? Yes. But no, it never came. But the, the the menu is, steak and steak and steak and steak. You know, there’s the, you know, he likes
the New York strip, New York strip. Yes, but there’s the the filet. There’s the, the steak nibs. I don’t even know what that is. Like. Nips, little bits of state
that have fallen off the, other bits of, and it all T-Bone, all, all variety. I don’t I, I actually like a T-Bone. I don’t remember that. If there were a if there was a T-Bone, I had the filet. And was it good? You know, and, no, I mean, I do. They have great ingredients. Is it. No, no, no, no. Flown in from. It’s just like it’s just like a menu from, you know, it’s a 1965 menu. Right. And, so, so what does that mean? Prawn cocktail steak. Yeah. You know, big shrimp, big shrimp, big, black forest gateau. What’s the dessert? Pies. Pies. You know,
I always say that derisively. No pies. I love pies, it says. But but there’s a kind of like. Like that coconut cream pie, right? I like them,
they like them very high and very big. Right. And then they make a big point.
Look at that pie. You got to eat all that. Haha. And, I’m just I’m trying to think
there were some, some other. Yeah. And there’s a piece of grilled fish,
but a lonely piece of grilled fish. You don’t want the fish, do you? Right? I mean, you’re a pansy
if you take the fish. If even though you’re
by the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of America, the Gulf of America. What does Melania eat? Can you remember what she ordered? You know, I can’t miss the final details. Details? I fear I failed on that,
but there is so much happening, you know? I mean, a lot happening. You’re that you’re trying to focus on
in addition to getting the drink up. So does Trump himself have disordered
eating? Well, yeah. I mean, I would say if, if, if orderly eating is, somewhat of a broad palate,
he certainly does. I mean, it’s incredibly limited. I mean, it’s basically limited to. Beef. And does he have any vegetable? So he loves burgers and he loves steak.
Yeah. I, I’ve never heard a reported vegetable. But I, you know,
I know when he got to the white House in, in 2017,
there was some kind of major kerfuffle about this
because he didn’t like to eat in the, in the dining room. He like to eat in his bedroom. Like to eat in his bedroom? Yeah, in the bed, I suppose. And, so wait, wait a minute. In the white House,
he eats in his bedroom. On his bed? Yes. Well, maybe he’s got, I don’t know, I’m not up to date on this,
so perhaps he’s been more socialized. I mean, he’s had a lot of time now,
but when he originally got there, it really sounded like he was, you know, like the feral child. So. But also, maybe he was exhausted
by the day or he was overwhelmed by people that he didn’t know,
and so he retreated, possibly. I don’t know, comfort, but yeah. And it was a and it was always a burger. And then he wanted actually
his preference was to send out for the burger
and the white House, the Secret Service. And apparently, you know, you got
a, you know, we we’d cook our food here. And this is,
that was a tussle about that, about that so serious question given that we know of
at least two attempts on his life and then obviously was
there was the Iranian threat on him. Does he ever worry? Does he have a food tester? Well, his food tester is Mr. McDonald. That’s was is one of the reasons,
and this was this is I mean, this fact has been been out there,
but I want to claim credit for it. This was my scoop. I’ve had a lot of Trump food scoops. Including scoops of his ice cream,
which I’ve also had. But this scoop was that he likes. One of the reasons that he likes
McDonald’s is that all this food is prepackaged
and nobody’s hands touch it. Therefore it’s much safer. At the safer risk of him being poisoned and, or random germs. It is food untouched by human hands. So is he actually a little nervous of eating the food in the white House
because he thinks people might have poisoned it?
Like Putin has a food tester? No, I would, I would say his it’s it’s it’s really more about his palette. Right. the truth is if you have a diet, a steady diet of fast food, which is high in salt and sugar, it’s
really it’s becomes more difficult to eat, you know, good food, healthy food,
because you lose the taste. Yeah. No. Yeah, it does it. so when you were reporting
from the white House for your first book and you sat there for seven months,
what was lunch like? Did did was stuff
coming in from McDonald’s? What was the source of relief? No, I mean, there’s a cafeteria in the in the white House, which everybody uses. And then Trump, there’s a, you know,
there is a little dining room off of the, of the, of the Oval Office. And,
I mean, I never had lunch with them there, but I, I assume that, you know what? He got his hamburger there. And which is the other interesting thing
is that often he would have two hamburgers a day, sort of hamburger for lunch
and a hamburger for dinner. But what about his team
that’s working around him? Are they eating healthy food?
I mean, no, no, no. And they there’s a thing about about that
that, you know, I mean, there’s an awareness that that part of the job is, you know, fast food. Yeah. You’re not going to get
I mean, it’s it’s kind of dicey. I mean, do you have any sense
of what you should be eating? This is like a minefield
that you’re not that that you’re not going
in, that you’re going to get blown up. Right? I mean, even RFK Jr,
who claims that he won’t eat this stuff, was eating it on the plane
at the beginning along with Ellen. Yeah. No, I mean, it’s. I mean, that is that is the fast food is the menu. There is nothing else. And what about his relationship
with alcohol? Well, I mean, he says he doesn’t. I think he says he has never had a drink. And, and I think that that’s,
I mean, I don’t know, he may have,
he may have had he may have had a drink. But he certainly doesn’t, doesn’t drink. And as I say, I’m
trying to get that glass of wine. I’m not allowed to it. Never without any luck whatsoever. And just. Melania drink, I don’t know. Good question. Though. You could ask her.
I could, you could definitely ask. I could serve you could. Nice bottle of wine. Deposition. And what about Trump
steak and Trump vodka? It’s odd that he would
do Trump vodka and not drink. Well, I think if somebody is going to going to buy it,
he’s fine with it. And I think if the vodka is cheap enough and the markup is high enough, well, sadly it’s no longer available
and neither is Trump steak. Yeah, yeah I Trump wines too I think. Yeah, Trump Trump champagne.
There was Trump. There was a lot of.
Yeah. No, there was a lot of wine. I think that was a, you know, terrible,
terrible, just ghastly. And sadly, no longer available. Yeah. Went the way of Trump
University. No. And then we water
we replaced it with Trump country. How is it that Morgan Spurlock,
who did that documentary Supersize Me, about eating burgers every day, died
very young, and Donald Trump, who seems to exist on a junk food diet
that all doctors would say this is terrible for
you seems to have defied all logic. Well, you you know,
I mean, this is this is random. In other words, he has not maximized
his chances for longevity as you as you do. We do with no guarantee, by the way,
that we will realize that long term. Well, he may outlive all of us. Yes. And he is one of those,
those those people of whom there are are many who, who defy the odds because, you know, the odds are actually pretty. What are they? Odd. Oh, they’re probably already written. It’s already written. Okay. It’s already right. Oh, interesting that you think that. Well, it’s it’s written in your DNA.
That’s what. That’s what it’s going to be. And his DNA
is apparently keeping him alive despite McDonald’s. Okay, so he likes McDonald’s. He likes pizza. Yeah. So, during the trial, I was
I was particularly fascinated by this. So the trial in in New York,
Stormy Daniels, which lasted six weeks, and he had to be in court
four days a week. And,
so, you know, so the the court started at, I think 930 in the morning, and then there was the lunch break,
and the lunch break took place in for for him and his legal team
that took place in one of the break rooms. These break was really, really dismal. And and kind of along a long, long room, a table. And then at the end of the room,
which was just two feet from the table itself, there was
the bathroom, the awkward bathroom. Right.
This was the bathroom, though. He didn’t like other people. Yeah. No, no. And the one guy who did somehow
ridiculously use it then he was
he was expelled from the team. Anyway. But so they, they had, they had a, a fixed menu, for, for four days. So the four days a week, where were pizza, McDonald’s, chick fil A, and Jimmy John’s? What is Jimmy John’s I it’s a it’s actually a big national chain
and one of his favorites. McDonald’s is his favorite,
but he likes Jimmy John’s. And, there are around the country. They’re not
there are not too many in, in Manhattan. And is this true that McDonald’s is actually his favorite,
or is this one small performance? And actually the reason
he’s managed to live as long as he has on such a terrible diet
is because he’s really eating, you know, salmon and salad in his bedroom. No, no, this is this is this is really
this is this is a genuine. Yes. I mean, it really is a, he’s he is a McDonald’s devotee. Okay. And of course,
he had that brilliant moment during his campaign where
he suddenly leaned out of a drive thru, and it was surprise, Donald
Trump is serving in your McDonald’s. It was such a good moment. Yeah. No, no, no. And it is. And maybe that is you know,
most of the country eats McDonald’s. So McDonald’s is delicious. Just there is this, do you think so? You know, you know what?
I want to know something. I haven’t had one for 40 years,
but the last time I had it was great. I’m going to tell you something. Well,
which will which will. You know, I know what you want me for
my political career. I’ve never, ever in my life
eaten a McDonald’s. Have you had a McDonald’s? No. Drive through? No. Never. Not. I know I’ve never eaten. I’ve never had there a McDonald’s food. So McDonald’s, which has. Is that because you used to live on the Upper East Side
and now you live in the Hamptons, and there are no McDonald’s
in the Hamptons? Well, yeah, but I grew up in new Jersey. Oh. And, and I remember I go back so there was a, on the highway
in new Jersey, route 46, I believe. In new Jersey, it’s the entirety it’s at least 60% of
all conversations are about highways. Route 46. You take 46. You know, you know, you did 200 oh eight. What about 17? What are the other parts of the conversation
about the people who’ve come from there? Because it was William Carlos Williams who the other people
that came from Allen Ginsberg. But it’s not it’s not. No, no, not too much. Mostly highways. But there was a McDonald’s on route 46,
I believe, that said, over 5 million Big Macs sold 5 million. What are we now at? 5 trillion? Right. So my whole life has been has been
the story of the expansion of McDonald’s. But I’ve never had one. Okay,
that’s weird that you’ve never had one. I’m going to bring you one in
and make you eat it live on YouTube. But, and I and I actually told Trump
that I never had a McDonald’s. And what did he say? Ignored. Ignore. He didn’t. Yes. Right. Yeah. I hate to break it to you. He doesn’t care what it’s all about. Okay. So so and so. He loves McDonald’s. He loves pizza. He loves Jimmy John’s. He also likes sweets. Not just sweets. Candy. Okay, I’m saying
sweets in the English sense of the word. So meaning, I mean, those things that you have in your pockets
and you have people having bowls. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. No. And it says he, he, he says he sits at, at his desk
and he says, bring me the poison. This was a scoop of yours. Yes. And then he comes in
and then then the people rush in, and a big bowl and it’s starbursts. Hershey’s miniatures. I’m not even sure what
that those little tiny bars, Laffy Taffy, Milky Ways and Tootsie Rolls
have you had any of those? I have not
You’ve never had a Tootsie Roll. Oh, when I was a child, yes. And not not not since that’s
what’s in these childish sweets, right? These are childish candies. Yeah, yeah, I can be the president of the candy
is for children, right? I mean, just think about it’s Halloween. Oh, I don’t want to think about. Yeah, I mean, I have nice clean tea. Well, obviously, because they’re. I have to within an inch of their life.
Yeah. But, No, I mean, how how do you eat? I can’t could you eat a candy now. Well I, well I can eat lilac
chocolate candies which are delicious place in the village
which is just heavenly chocolate. But but a milky way. Could you take a big a big tear
out of a milky way? Well,
we have Milky Ways in our snack room. Actually, I like we have Snickers, and I like to get them
and cut them up into tiny little pieces. And then I eat them
slowly over the period of a week. But but he does
he have the coconut pie at Mar-A-Lago? Does he eat those kind of desserts? You know, I was waiting. I remember this because I was kind of
focused on on this to see. What if he would eat the dessert? And, and I saw the pie in front of him,
but I didn’t see him take a bite of it. Now, this could also be
because he’s talking the whole time. I mean, I mean, I remember everybody’s
kind of coming up to him. It’s like he’s at the wedding table,
and he’s going to blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I mean, amazing nonstop. So I don’t know how he could really eat. So does he eat breakfast that,
I don’t know, never, never, never had a breakfast with Donald Trump
because I’ve read that he doesn’t eat breakfast and that he powers through with Diet Coke and coffee
until sort of mid-afternoon. No, the amount of Diet Coke is, is
you would think that alone would have would have felt that one of your stories. Bingo. Yeah, right. The Diet Coke button under the desk. Yes. What is that on the desk? On read. Basically Diet Coke,
I Russian it is that true? That was assume that was made. No no no no
we actually has a button. Yeah. They put it in. He’s always pushing it. I’ve never seen it on his desk. Can you see it on his desk. Well I actually don’t know. Is it, is it on the resolute desk? It was. It’s in was in Mar-A-Lago. Okay, so. But it may be,
I think it is on the resolute Desk. Right. Yeah. And then someone,
some flack comes in with a and does he like ice or not. Ice. Not ice as I recall. Okay. I’m going to straight up
you know he likes hot dogs to the golf course is the hot dog
when he’s out on the golf course. Hot dogs two. He has two hot dogs. And does he have mustard
or maybe I mean, Steve Bannon once described,
he says it goes in all one’s. All day. All right. So people are around him
are aware of this. Also the staff, by the way,
when you’re out on the plane, you know,
when you do you go wherever you’re going and then you get back on the plane
and then there’s always a, you know, a fast food box on your seat
when you get back. Yeah. This is looked at is kind of like a little
a little perk of the job, right? A little treat that you get chicken
fingers. Yes. Exactly. Right. All right. So I’ve got
I pulled up some state dinner menus and I want you to decide
if he would like it or not like it. So this is the
this is a dinner that they had, in Trump one 2018. And this is for Emmanuel Macron
and the first course. And I love reading these
because food is gives people
the opportunity for such pretension. Okay. This was goat
cheese ghetto tomato jam, buttermilk biscuit crumbles
young variegated lettuces. Would he have eaten any
of that? Not none of that. Main course rack of spring. And I asked. I’ve asked I’ve asked about this. I’ve inquired exactly this.
And he doesn’t eat any of this. It’s a burger. Before they say he has a burger before. Yeah, right. So he just pokes it? Yeah. Pokes at it. All right. And remember, he’s talking the whole time
of course. Right. So he had so for Macron
they entertained the main course rack of spring lamb burnt Tripoli knee subs Carolina golden rice, jambalaya with celery, peppers,
onions, herbs from the South Lawn. That just feels like
it would be too much for him. So he’s eating his burger and he can just
then just talk and pull. Macron’s probably trying to figure out
how to talk back and eat a little bit. Yeah. You know, a sort of untold story
is that actually the food in the white House is terrible. Is it? Oh, yeah. It’s like,
you know, it’s like made up food. It’s, you know, I mean, it’s it’s
I mean, it it’s banquet food. It’s banquet,
you know, it’s like going to a wedding, which is significant in terms of the poor
East wing still laying. There’s a pile of rubble. Because presumably it will be banquet food
when they get that up and running as a ballroom, won’t it? Oh of course. Yeah. I mean, it’s always I mean, you know, it’s American banquet food. American banquet food. All right, so here’s the dinner
that they had in honor of Scott Morrison in 2019, who was then,
I think, prime minister of Australia. Start a son choke ravioli under a lemon. Parmigiano-Reggiano sauce. Main course. Now, that sounds like. That would be. That’s literally
something that nobody is going to eat. Nobody’s going to eat. And also the main course is Dover sole with fennel mousseline
and a rich hollandaise. So there’s a lot of sauces going on. You go from cheese
sauce to a rich hollandaise made with whipped cream
and also Dover sole. Let’s reduce. Yes. So yeah Dover sole you got it. You got to do on the bone
and then you got to fillet it. Right. Obviously they didn’t do that. It it’s obviously not Dover sole. Oh nice. Some cheap some. Yeah. Right. Okay. And then the wife’s Dover sole Dover sole. Right. Okay. Yes. Okay. All right. So so what is he eating? You think he’s having
steak for Thanksgiving? Oh, actually, you know what I found? I found the I just want to do one more. I think he’s having a hamburger
for Thanksgiving. The hamburger? Because that’s what he wants. Okay, so I wonder if he ate a hamburger
before the famous dinner at Windsor Castle, when, of course, that
that very clever gorilla team put on your your face on the side of Windsor
Castle and Jeffrey Epstein’s face. I can’t believe we got through an episode. I think we got through our last Tuesday’s
episode without mentioning the word Epstein once. Maybe that’s not true. Anyway, what a loss, what a loss. But here’s what the king served up. Because it’s always useful
to know these things if you’re not invited to state dinners. This is what they’re eating. The Jeffrey Epstein food
just week week at digress. It was also terrible. There was a lot of it. And he was you always were offered
anything you wanted. Didn’t Soon-Yi Previn
have to teach him how to cater? Yeah. I think that there was a story
about that. Yes. But it it was, you know, I mean,
I mean, he had a lot of the cooks and, I mean, in my experience,
all private chefs are terrible. And the reason they’re private chefs is
that they can’t get a job in a restaurant. But I never thought of that. But the the food. No, the Epstein food was was terrible,
and Epstein was not interested in food. Epstein and Trump were,
you know, very much the same. Both they didn’t drink. They both. Neither of them. Yeah. They both would have preferred
to revert to a hamburger. No, no matter
what was what else might be available. all conversations took place around
Jeffrey Epstein’s dining room table, a dining room table,
which I would say comfortably would see, I don’t know, you know, 30, I mean, a very large O’Neill style
chess table. And then presumably
there are about 30 people there. So everybody was sort of
congregated down at the end. And as soon as you arrive and people
arrive from breakfast through till dinner, and when they come in, Jeffrey
Epstein would say, what do you want? Because there was a chef
always ready to ready to respond. And that I, I’ve seen this many times. It would would kind of
keep catch people off guard. What what do you want? I mean,
and then he would say, you want a kiss? You want an omelet, you want
a, you want, smoked salmon, you want. And then and then he would
he would list off a long list or anything. What do you want? And then faced with this, somebody would say,
make the mistake of of of picking one. I mean, you just didn’t, you know, and unfortunately,
that meant everyone was in there. There were always six, seven, eight more people there. And then suddenly you would be presented
with, with a plate of food
no one else would be eating. Oh, no. So you’re the soul eater. Exactly. So, I mean,
some might be another lonely eater, but. But there were a number of people
who would be there who would know. Don’t don’t take the food because there’s no it’s not as if lunch is being served,
right. It’s just it’s
this constant moveable feast with you, the only one having the feast,
which was awkward. So you have to talk
and then suddenly your mouth is full. No, no. That’s terrible. You’ve got to eat with everybody else. Otherwise it’s a disaster. And I remember in your book To famous, there’s a chapter on Epstein
where you talk about Ehud Barak, the Israeli prime or former Israeli
prime minister arriving and demanding an egg
with some caviar. Yeah. Yes. Well, he turns down the omelet,
and he says I’ve had too many. Your hospitality is measured in omelets. What do you mean by that? I’m going to pass on the arm.
It was always, you know, you can’t. You want an omelet, right?
It’s like this kind of thing. But then he said,
but I would have some of that caviar. And then there was a whole thing
about that, about the caviar. And Epstein didn’t like the caviar,
and we only keep it for you, etc.. Okay. Well,
when Donald Trump was in Windsor Castle, here’s what they had
with the King for his most recent visit. The starter was Hampshire watercress panna cotta with parmesan shortbread
and quail egg salad. Would he have eaten? No, not not not a lick. Okay. Main course. Organic Norfolk chicken. Valentine wrapped in courgettes. Zucchini, sir, you served with a time
and savory infused juice, right? This stuff. There must be a menu writer,
a universal, banquet. Many menu writer. Well, I think this is what Andrew, formerly known as Prince Andrew, will now be eating,
that now he’s been banished to Norfolk. This is the kind of thing he’ll be eating when he tiptoes into the kitchen
at Sandringham. I don’t think he’s allowed into the main rooms at Sandringham,
but he can stay in the below stairs. Dessert? Vanilla ice cream bombe
with a Kentish raspberry sorbet interior and lightly poached
Victoria plums. Oh, well, let’s talk about the ice cream, because ice cream is a very important
component of the Trump diet. Go on. So when I first so in 2016 before when still that moment when,
when one would regard a Trump presidency as, as as ridiculous at best,
preposterous even. I interviewed Trump at his house
in Beverly Hills and went into the house and, and he greeted me,
and then he took me into the kitchen. He said, are you hungry? And I had you had dinner beforehand or anything? I mean, did
you didn’t interview him over dinner? You interviewed him at his house? Yes. And it was after dinner. He had gone to a fundraiser. Where was at, Tom Barack’s house. Tom Barrett,
now one of his ambassadors. Yes. And a key adviser and friend and, really a mainstay of Trump’s
political career, a person, a very mysterious person
that we should come back to. But,
and then he came back after that, that, that fundraiser, and,
and he had actually said he hadn’t eaten. I was at the fundraiser,
I didn’t eat, I’m hungry. Do you want anything? I said no, but he opened the refrigerator
and it was just filled with pints of vanilla Haagen-Dazs
ice cream. Like a
like a library of just solely vanilla. So it was nothing else
in the refrigerator. But this problem
with the other refrigerators. Were you in the kitchen?
I was in the kitchen. I don’t know if there were. I think it was a large refrigerator. I would say I don’t know how many pints. 30, I don’t know. But, but he took one out. I’m trying to think he he took it. So I said, do you do you want anything? No, he took it. Not listening to that. Threw it to me. I caught it right away. And then he took one for himself. And, And then open the drawer to get a spoon. Then I had to get my own spoon. I didn’t want the ice cream,
but I had the. What was I going to do with it? And then we went out into the
into the living room and, he took, I know in the kitchen, he took the top off,
the sort of plastic wrapper. Yes. He took it off. And so he’s eating out of that,
and I did not take the top off, so I took it off there and
and put it on the thing. And then he said, don’t put that there. That’s anyway,
this is And did he eat the whole thing? Every last bit of it. So that’s a lot of sugar
and a lot of cream. And, and then,
you know, on the campaign trail that became a people,
people would tell me he had shifted. He he went to strawberry, vanilla. And it had to be that, and he always needed two quarts of it. Two quarts. That’s a lot. Right. So, so that’s two in the
in the mini fridge. What’s the mini fridge? You know, in the hotel. Oh you know, so when they were on the
was insisted on going back and sleeping and he said he did but but when he had,
when they had to stay overnight he had to have those two quarts
of the strawberry vanilla. Okay. So he basically eats McDonald’s or burgers
and vanilla ice cream and nothing else. And the Diet Coke. Yeah, right. I wish we have more
details of what Melania eats. Yeah. I can’t help you with that one. Well, maybe you can ask. Yes. Oh, ask Melania. What is her diet even where
we can serve her in the deposition? Yes, you can
I we’ll see what she takes. Okay. That’ll be interesting.
That’ll be very interesting. All right, well, Michael, we have Thanksgiving meals to get to. You have one to cook? I do. You have one to cook? I have one to unbox
because mine’s been catered and delivered to me,
which I’m excited about. Jimmy John’s perhaps. Who knows? I don’t know where it’s coming from. It’s the first time I’ve ever let
this happen and I’m very excited. I will say
I am excited to have someone else because I don’t think
this is the first time you’ve done this. You’ve cooked Thanksgiving dinner,
oh, life. And then suddenly, yeah, well,
you have a dinner arriving from you don’t know where
and you’re happy about it. I’m very happy about it. And I will tell I I’m going to push back on the one thing about private chefs,
because at the risk of sounding super boozy, but deep times of stress
in my life, I have had a private chef. And it is transformative because you don’t have to think about food
and the I don’t think you like food. I I’m here, here’s, here’s my food. I don’t think so. I, you know, first thing like food. No. First thing, you’re a Brit. So you know,
that’s a whole different standard in food and a whole level of blandness that,
that you can tolerate. Secondly, the truth is most people, you know,
don’t like food, don’t care about food. You know, it’s they can have, you know, you’ve been going to restaurants
so long, it all blends together. Well, that’s true, that’s true. And I will say I find it very stressful
looking at a menu. And I’m I’m conscious
this is a very privilege conversation. I’m just saying, I’m defending
private chefs because on the occasions when I’ve had private chefs
for periods of my life, I’ve found it’s such a relief
because not to have to think about what you’re feeding
children is a huge relief. Yeah, well, yeah, but that you’ve just you’ve just defined well, you’ve
just defined what it is to have a spouse. For one thing, if I were your spouse,
for instance, I would be cooking for you. I’ve never had a spouse
that cooks for, well, but there’s there’s
those are different questions. Someone who takes the responsibility and the worry of food from you. Right. That’s different from what is good food. True. Well, there are a lot of people watching
now who I’m sure feeling deeply stressed about having to cook their Thanksgiving
for however many people. But maybe we’d all be happier
with a burger. Well, you know, and I don’t know why. Because actually, Thanksgiving
is a very easy meal to cook. A great I agree with you on that. I agree with you on the English way
to cook my way of cooking. Should anyone care is just gas. Mark five threw everything in the oven
and eventually it comes out and it’s done. I rest on the potato, I rest my case. Apart from the potatoes, which need to be
cooked at a much higher heat. Anyways, the one thing I’ll miss cooking
this year still would give it all up to go to Mar
a Lago for Thanksgiving. We have to smuggle ourselves in. We know you. You should go before this
life ends to Mar a Lago. I mean, that really is, Is something
worth seeing? Yeah. I mean, you can’t. You can’t really describe it. Okay, well, from a whole other age, I mean, it’s not as if
you get there and say, Mar a Lago. What? What I’ve driven. Well, that’s quite
the other thing are quite the opposite, because it’s surprisingly small
when you tell it in real life. But but it’s, it’s also kind of it’s a tacky in a, in some,
some old fashioned way. You know,
they have these big kind of poster, they have posters up,
you know, join us for, Hawaiian luau night, Italian night. Right. So it’s like an old fashioned
country club. Oh, it sounds like a kind of old upstate
Catskill. Yeah. Just that. Well, and then he’s kind of like the the,
the Catskills tumbler. You know, he greets everybody. I hope you had a great meal. So he’s the ringmaster. He’s the emcee. Yeah. The mother and daughter. I mean, I’ve heard him do this literally, I think a half a dozen times
in the several hours that I. That I was with him, the mother daughter,
and then he says, he says. He says. So your sisters, you know, it’s like one. Oh, my God. Someone gave me a good line about Palm
Beach the other day. They said,
people think they moved to Palm Beach because they’re old and they’re rich, and then they get down there
and they realize they are neither. Yeah. No. God. Okay, okay. All right, happy Thanksgiving. I will see you, next Tuesday. Very soon. And have a good holiday. Thank you. And if you have been,

what is the connection? Trump? How did this happen? Is this a superpower? Yeah. I mean, it’s just one part of the theme,
one part of the way he channels the nation. And do you remember Barack Obama saying he had the same lunch every day
because it meant fewer decisions, and that his snack in the evening
was eight almonds? Yes. No. I’m sure Barack Obama has had
I mean, every time he has had, a fast food meal,

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to take a deep dive into Donald Trump’s relationship with food. From his legendary buffets at Mar-a-Lago and his fast-food devotion to McDonald’s, Jimmy John’s, and oversized desserts, Wolff maps out the culinary habits that reflect Trump’s personality and comfort zones. They discuss the White House dining struggles, state dinners he barely touches, and the unusual quirks—from eating in his bedroom to a Diet Coke button at his desk. Along the way, Wolff unpacks how Trump’s palate, fears, and routines give a window into his larger-than-life persona. Thanksgiving at Mar-a-Lago has never been more telling.

Thanks
Does Trump know that a big shrimp (like a gentleman Trump) is an oxymoron.
This was actually more interesting and amusing than could have been expected by the misleading clickbait title. Thank you!
A Bain Marie keeps all that food warm in Buffets…
At 75yrs of age I have never ever had Turkey although I've certainly met a few..😅
I only drink water and Gatorade Zero 😅
With all of the preservative laden fast food, it’s the preservatives that are preserving his body.
Employee dining room food. Leftover pastas with leftover veggies and asiago cheese, for some ungodly reason. That's usually what one would call a "struggle meal."
Candy is just for kids ? 🤔 I guess if you are hoity toity pffffff forks with pizza too I bet lol
Shut up, now, Joanna. In deep, dark times, a lot of people go to Taco Bell. Haha
How the ********* you never had McDonald's? Liar.
A photo of an aleged Mar a Lago Thanksgiving Dinner plate of 'food' was posted on a social media site,it looked disgusting.
As so often, I DISAGREE with the remarks about British food being BLAND ! At 76, having been to GB several times, and as a passionate cook I know better😂 In the 70s in a small pub you could get delishous pies, and have you EVER tried to make a X-mas PLUM PUDDING yourself … I am starting on mine this weekend as it needs a long time to set 😅
“Feral child”….that’s a perfect description
I thought I was rare in not ever having eaten anything from McDonalds – but now there are two of us Michael & myself!!!
I would have eaten the dinner at Windsor castle because I've never tried it before and it sounds tasty.
He drinks more Diet Coke then water. That's for sure.
given the title, i tried like heck not to watch this one…
look I'm not going to defend Trump because he's only human and sometimes he does act like he's infallible. we all know what's what but what do you think things would be like if Kamala was in office? seriously do you think things would be better or would things be better if someone else was in office? I'm just curious, I feel like things just keep getting worse. what do you guys think?
I’m no fan of trump and not even an American. Who give a rat’s a!$ what trump’s dietary preferences are. Can we have a more insightful and mature discussion?
wow the intro is intense
Who does Michael think Bubba is?
McDs did us dirty with Luigi but I might consider them redeemed if they'll start adding a some extra salt to his food so we can speed this thing up.
Steam tray = Bain Marie in the UK.
Metal dishes with hot water in the base, and another metal dish sitting over the top containing hot food.
Still used today in many self-service restaurants and cafes.
The UK and the rest of the world, if there is a world outside Trump’s America, don’t celebrate Thanksgiving by the way, Christmas (or The Holiday’s in USA) is the biggie in the UK.
I worked at McDonald's in France and obviously ate their food. Occasionally I would have a burger, but most often I would have one of their salads thrown in a 400g long bread. I would avoid the soft drinks and instead have the small orange juice in a large carton, topped up with carbonated water. I lived pretty well in France.
What a miserable life DT has, like a neglected child. And he has banalised the White House in his own image.
Highly entertaining, though rather sad interview. Thank you Joanna and Michael. 🪲😊
I think joanna cole is one phenomenal interviewer.
One can tell exactly what Trump is by looking at what he has done to the White House 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
An American lecturing a Brit (or anyone!!!) about their national cuisine? Wow.
Bit of a misleading headline that one.
Spurlock, of “Super Size Me” suffered from addiction as well as developed cancer if I am not mistaken.
Mal-A-Lago Tr*mpss Kane Xanadu
This was interesting until he said he had never had McDonald's nor eaten candy. Then proceeded to talk about Trump's teeth…Does he not look in the mirror???
Michael Wolff is so smug. I'm actually doubting a lot of his reporting now.
I love milky ways and I'm 44!!!
waddle’s thanksgiving meal was the same as he always has for lunch – bigg mac and 🍟
WIERD orange man!!
We need to know what Michael eats, it could be more interesting than what Donald eats.
Given what he is reportedly eating there is no way Trump is healthy at his age, he doesn't get much exercise (less than Biden) so his claims of being in good health is so much BS.
Why hasn’t all the bad eating killed him? Because bad choices like that only raise the risk in general that people who do so will die early from a number of associated diseases, not guarantee that every single person who does will definitely die early. So I guess we’ve “lucked out” with Drumpf.😒
I have a related example from my own experience. My grandpa was a pack-and-a-half a day smoker from the age of 12, and we grandkids begged him to quit for years, because he was genuinely everyone’s favorite person and we all worried about his health. However, although he did have very mild emphysema in the last maybe decade of his life, he never quit or even slowed down on the cigarettes, and he ultimately died at the ripe old age of 87 from…. Nope, not lung cancer or pulmonary issues related to smoking, but complications of liver disease (cirrhosis) most probably caused by decades of daily medications he took for RA to make his everyday life less burdened by arthritis pain… because he literally never drank. He was famous for asking for Scotch and water at parties, because he didn’t want to draw attention to himself as a “teetotaler” back in the drink-filled men’s club days of the mid-century, instead preferring to fit in after moving to the “big city” of Cincinnati by ordering and then pouring it out slowly into plants or a plate he was finished with, etc. He claimed Scotch was easiest to do that with because it “smelled the worst of all of ‘em.” He didn’t avoid alcohol for religious reasons either, but simply because, he said, he’d seen it turn a lot of otherwise good men into bums during his youth in a KY coal town, and he made up his mind early to just stay away from it. But he had no problem with everyone drinking around him, and putting on his little act to fit in lol
So, yeah, a man who smoked heavily from the age of 12 but never drank lived till 87, ultimately dying of liver disease from 30+ years of daily medicine taken to treat a genetically-inherited disease.
Michael Wolff suggests that once you have a spouse you have the privilege of not having to think about what you feed the children!!!!! Those words could only have come out of the mouth of a heterosexual man
long live King Kong Trump
He has the dietary issues of an ADHD/autistic person. I could eat the same thing every meal for everyday, especially my favorite meal.
