Former President Donald Trump has reportedly decided on his game day meal ahead of one of the biggest college football games of the season. The 78-year-old candidate doesn't seem too concerned about health with his choice of food.
Trump is expected to attend the No. 2 Georgia vs. No. 4 Alabama game in Tuscaloosa. His meal reportedly includes two McDonald's Filet-O-Fish sandwiches, Domino's pizza, hot dogs, and Diet Coke, according to Alabama businessman Ric Mayers, via AL.com.
Mayers, who invited Trump to the game, also made sure to handle the tickets and food orders for Trump and his guests.
The McDonald's Filet-O-Fish sandwich has long been a favorite of Trump’s. During his 2016 campaign, he mentioned it was his go-to meal. "I’m a very clean person. I like cleanliness," Trump shared. "I think you’re better off going there than someplace unknown."
During his presidency, Trump famously served McDonald's to championship sports teams visiting the White House. The Clemson Tigers and Baylor Bears were among those who enjoyed these massive fast food spreads.
Nutritionally, the two Filet-O-Fish sandwiches contain a total of 780 calories and 28 grams of fat. Though not the healthiest option, they are considered better than other menu items due to zero trans fats and 16 grams of protein.
Adding Domino's pizza to the mix raises the calorie count. A slice of plain cheese pizza has 288 calories and 9.69 grams of fat. But a full 14-inch pizza would hit 2,222 calories, according to the USDA.
Despite indulging, Trump remains active after surviving an assassination attempt on Sept. 16. At 78, his age and health have been a focal point in his campaign.
Dr. Bruce Aronwald, Trump’s physician, released a report last November praising Trump's health. "His cognitive exams were exceptional," Aronwald wrote, noting his overall physical condition was excellent.
Trump’s cardiovascular and cancer screenings came back normal. "With weight reduction and continued physical activity, President Trump is in excellent health," Aronwald added.
Beyond the meal, Trump’s expected attendance at the game is a highly anticipated event. Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer acknowledged the buzz. "There’s going to be a lot of celebrity-type people here," DeBoer said, focusing his players on the game itself.
Meanwhile, Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance, made his own appearance at a college football game earlier this season. Vance has suggested he and Trump might attend another famous rivalry game if they win the election.
