WASHINGTON, DC: RFK Jr and Melania Trump have joined forces in a bid to improve President-elect Donald Trump’s diet, according to sources close to the Trump camp.

The efforts come after a recent photo of Trump enjoying a McDonald’s Big Mac sparked conversation about his eating habits.

RFK Jr and Melania 'ganging up' on Trump to improve his diet

One insider shared with Page Six, “RFK Jr and Melania are ‘ganging up’ on the President-elect to eat in a more healthy way. Think fewer Big Macs and less KFC, and more lean protein, salad, and veggies for energy and to improve his overall well-being.”

While the move is seen by some as a genuine attempt to help Trump adopt healthier eating habits, another source from inside Trump’s circle dismissed the idea, calling it “nonsense” and asserting, “Trump eats whatever he wants.”

The push to improve Trump’s diet comes after Robert F Kennedy Jr, the 70-year-old environmental activist and politician, previously criticized the food served aboard Trump’s private jet, “Trump Force One,” calling it “just poison.”

However, Kennedy, who had originally pursued his presidential campaign before endorsing Trump and accepting a potential cabinet position, was later photographed on the same plane holding a Big Mac and a Coke.

The photo, which also featured Trump, Elon Musk, and Donald Trump Jr, left many questioning whether it was a playful jab at Kennedy’s former stance on food.



 

RFK Jr's Big Mac photo likely joke to 'mess with people'

“They did it as a joke,” said another source familiar with the situation. “RFK Jr is all about healthy living and no processed foods. He hates fast food. He probably didn’t eat it.”

The insider suggested that the photo might have been more about “messing with” political opponents. “They’re f*****g with people,” the source explained.

“The libs take everything so seriously, they’re melting down. Team Trump is just messing with them on everything. Trump is New York. He likes to bust balls.”

Melania actively encourages healthier eating and lifestyle choices for Donald Trump

The efforts to guide Trump toward healthier eating have not gone unnoticed, particularly from Melania Trump, who is said to be on board with the plan. According to the insider, the former first lady has been actively involved, even cooking family dinners at Trump Tower for the president and their son, Barron.

“Melania famously watches every bite she takes,” the source added.

“She has also guided their son’s eating habits since he was a toddler.” Mar-a-Lago members have also spotted her regularly heading to the spa, working out, and indulging in skincare and hair treatments.

The former first lady’s influence may be part of what’s motivating Trump’s healthier lifestyle choices. Earlier this year, speculation arose that Trump, like many celebrities, might be using Ozempic or other weight-loss drugs.

However, a source clarified that Trump’s weight loss was likely due to staying away from Mar-a-Lago desserts, along with support from Melania.
