Donald Trump, a fast-food fan known for his unapologetic love of Big Macs and fried everything, once declared war on vegetables. But behind the scenes, a quiet food revolution was taking place one that slipped a healthy ingredient onto his plate without him even knowing.
For years, the former president has been candid about his eating habits. He’s skipped breakfast more times than not, and when he does indulge, it’s usually bacon and eggs hardly the breakfast of health champions. That greasy combo can pack over 10 grams of fat and push cholesterol levels past the daily limit in just a few bites.

Trump’s affection for McDonald’s is legendary. His typical order? Big Mac, Filet-O-Fish, and a Diet Coke. He reportedly preferred fast food because of its predictability and cleanliness, which may tie into his well-documented germ aversion. KFC also made the cut, alongside his longtime favorite: meatloaf. He liked it so much, he even served it to White House guests. But like most of his favorites, it wasn’t doing his heart any favors.
There was one problem: vegetables. Trump just didn’t like them. So, in stepped White House physician Dr. Ronny Jackson with a clever culinary hack hide them.
“We were working on his diet,” Jackson admitted. “We were making the ice cream less accessible; we were putting cauliflower into the mashed potatoes.”
Yes, cauliflower. Mashed and mixed in with the potatoes, it became the sneaky vegetable that slipped past Trump’s radar. And while it may sound like a kitchen trick you’d try on a picky toddler, it was the only way to sneak some fiber and nutrients into the president’s meals.
The tactic worked. Cauliflower, after all, is no ordinary vegetable. Low in calories but packed with vitamins and antioxidants, it brings serious health perks. It’s loaded with vitamin C, supports brain function with choline, and helps fight inflammation. Plus, it’s incredibly versatile easy to blend into dishes without changing the taste too much.

And the results? They speak for themselves. A recent White House medical report states that Trump is in “excellent health.” He’s reportedly dropped 30 pounds from his unofficial peak of 254 pounds—standing 6’3” and now weighing 224. Speculation ran wild that he might be on a weight loss drug like Ozempic, but no evidence supports that claim.
Instead, this little-known dietary makeover led by mashed potato subterfuge might just be one of the quiet success stories of Trump’s health journey. Even the man who famously refused to eat his greens couldn’t resist when they were cleverly disguised.
