The Wall Street Journal article about the current occupant’s health — “As Signs of Aging Emerge, Trump Responds With Defiance” — is behind a paywall, but some of its details can be had via a thread from Aaron Rupar. The detail that’s beyond my imagining:
The piece closes with RNC Chair Joe Gruters saying he was "shocked" to witness Trump eat "french fries, a McDonald’s Quarter Pounder hamburger, a Big Mac and a Filet-O-Fish" in one sitting.I ran that meal (if it can be called meal, singular) through the McDonald’s Nutrition Calculator. And zooks!
Without cheese on the Quarter Pounder, the four items come to
1740 caloriesAnd with cheese on the Quarter Pounder:
89g fat (120% DV)
2410g sodium (105% DV)
1840 caloriesThese items, I would assume, were accompanied by the occupant’s beverage of choice: a Diet Coke.
97g fat (129% DV)
2790g sodium (122%)

HM, their DV for sodium is set high.
That looks like a McDouble DV to me.
But not to quibble—it’s amazing he’s standing
So that'd mean that the sodium percentage is even higher — yeesh.
I just checked: "The American Heart Association recommends no more than 2,300 mg a day and optimal goal of no more than 1,500 mg a day for most adults."
I am wondering what he is given to prop him up? Hair spray and meth?
I'd like to know. There's much speculation that he's getting medication by IV to slow the progress of dementia. Dr. Ronny might know more. :)
I might eat, along with fries, just one of those meals, while leaving half of my fries out of guilt. I guess people build up to such a lifestyle.
Incidentally, I'm still chuckling at the American dad taking his half Japanese daughter to San Diego, and fetching some fast food back to the car. She demanded, "Why did you get me such a big (paper) cup of pop? I can't drink all that!" He had brought her the smallest size they had.
From the Coca-Cola website:
“Did you know that until 1955, Coca‑Cola was available only as a soda fountain drink and in 6 1/2-ounce contour bottles? 1955 saw the debut of the King Size (10- and 12-ounce) and Family Size (26-ounce) contour bottles in the U.S., marking an important step in giving consumers packaging options to meet their needs.”
I recall when (1980s) Store 24 brought back Coke in tiny bottles as a fun gimmick (for 25¢, I think). The largest Coca-Cola from McDonald’s has 100g (200 % DV) of sugar.
