Over the weekend, Donald Trump and his entourage, which included RFK Jr., attended UFC309 at Madison Square Garden. While there were many great moments from the event, one picture snapped on Trump Force One has sparked online debate.
The picture in question features Donald Trump, Donald Jr., Elon Musk, Speaker Mike Johnson and RFK Jr. sharing a meal of McDonald's burgers and fries on Trump's private jet. You can see that Kennedy is not looking pleased by the meal.
RFK Jr., who plans to Make America Healthy Again, has received some online backlash for eating McDonald's, with some users calling him a hypocrite and questioning whether the new HHS appointee is actually serious about America's health.
In RFK Jr.'s defence, he has been openly critical of Trump's diet, calling the food "poison." In a live interview with Joe Polish, Kennedy said commented on Trump's diet, "The stuff they [Trump team] eat is, like, really bad." He then goes on to say, "campaign food is always bad, but the food that goes onto that aeroplane is just poison." "You have a choice between – you don't have the choice, they're given KFC or Big Macs [...] the rest is I consider inedible."
Trump is known for his love of McDonald's and diet coke, while this diet may be great for the incoming president, it's not something that should be modelled by the American people. Kennedy, on the other hand, is in great shape, working out every day and promoting a healthy lifestyle. We want to remind you that the current Assistant Secretary of the HHS, is Rachel Levine, a transgender.
The criticism of RFK Jr.'s hypocrisy is also laughable because for the last fifty years the public has relied on health advice from out-of-shape doctors. People generally who over prescribe and "treat" medical problems with pills. Doctors have historically promoted some of the worst health advice ever, from mask mandates, to the food pyramid to childhood vaccines. And now the same people are worried that RFK ate a cheeseburger?
When the left-wing media criticises Kennedy, just remember Sanjay Gupta, medical reporter for CNN, lying on air about Joe Rogan when Rogan contracted Covid-19. Or Dr. Peter Hotez who went on the Joe Rogan experience promoting vaccines while admitting he, himself, has no understanding of a healthy lifestyle outside pharmaceutical medication.
