Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says he has seen “boxes and boxes” of McDonald’s food while traveling on Air Force One with President Trump. In interviews, he describes the president’s onboard food arrangement as heavy on fast food rather than other meals.
Kennedy’s comments include an explanation for why Trump reportedly keeps fast food on the plane. Kennedy says Trump eats that food out of concern about food poisoning, and he contrasts it with Kennedy’s own earlier statements about the health risks of junk food served on the president’s aircraft. The Independent and Yahoo both report Kennedy’s account that the plane is stocked with repeated quantities of McDonald’s items.
Across outlets, the central point is Kennedy’s claim about what he saw on Air Force One and his framing of Trump’s preference. The reporting does not include confirmation from the White House or Air Force One dining services in the provided excerpts, and it focuses on Kennedy’s remarks and his prior comments about the potential harms of the food.
