Donald Trump is as American as it becomes, especially when it comes to his food preferences. When you put President of the United States with a full staff of top chefs who work in the kitchen of the White House, almost any form of prepared meal is at your disposal. For Trump, however, he does not see much other than what most average Americans eat from day to day, including his favorite breakfast: bacon and eggs.
Bacon and eggs are even the favorite breakfast of many American president. Harry S. Truman had his eggs and bacon with a side of Bourbon, while John F. Kennedy preferred his bacon bacon and cooking his eggs. Barack Obama sometimes accompanied his eggs, toast and potatoes with bacon. As far as Trump is concerned, “Bacon Medium and the Eggs Overlell” is what he told People Magazine in 2015.
The only breakfast that is perhaps more of an American classic than bacon and eggs, is breakfast cereals, for which Trump has also preached a preference, although he prefers seriously specific types of grains. “Made in the US must be made in the US. You know the stuff of the Cornflake, Raisin Bran. Must be straight from the fields of Iowa” (via politico). However, if Trump does not enjoy one of these options, during his campaign in 2016 the mornings of Trump would be fed with McDonald's Egg McMuffins.

How typical as a fast-food in American culture is, it should not be a surprise that Trump loves himself (we cannot blame him). In particular, he has an affinity for McDonald's. In an interview in 2016 on the Dr. OZ show (via Buzzfeed) stated Trump that he usually skips breakfast and prefer to eat fast food because “at least you know what they put in it.” What Trump meant by this explanation is because everything on the Fast food chains menu is consistently prepared with the same ingredients or is made in advance, relieves its fear of being poisoned. In reality that hardly scratches the surface about why Donald Trump loves McDonald's so much.
If he skips breakfast, you could assume that he is at least narrowly in coffee or tea, but no; Not exactly. Trump prefers cola light and much of it. Apparently Donald Trump can drunk more than a dozen looks Light Cola every day. It was reported that he fell asleep in 2024 during his Hush money test because he did not drink enough coke light.
His favorite breakfast from bacon and eggs could use a healthy fiber source in some form (one of his go-to breakfast options could be fair), but it seems to work for him. At the age of 78 he continues to have lasting energy, even though he is in public interest.
