Trump talks about what he likes at McDonald’s
President Donald Trump on Monday revealed one of his favorite dishes on the McDonald’s menu, with an unexpected sound effect. But he also shared a small complaint about it.
In a meandering speech to McDonald’s executives at the company’s Impact Summit in Washington, D.C., Trump talked about everything from how often he washes his hands to renaming the Gulf of Mexico to recounting the airstrikes against Iran he ordered over the summer. Finally, he managed to address his love of company food.
“I like fish,” he said, referring to the Filet-O-Fish sandwich, then made a strange sound effect and waved his hand. “I like it.”
But Trump did have a suggestion.
“But could you make a little more tartar sauce, please,” he said. “Oh really.”
Trump loves fast food, especially McDonald’s, and had his photo taken at a franchise during the 2024 presidential campaign. He also served plenty of fast food to the Clemson Tigers when they visited the White House in 2019 to celebrate their championship:

“He had hot fries waiting for him from McDonald’s… And then he had a Filet-O-Fish, a Quarter Pounder and a Big Mac, and I think he combined two of them,” Gruters said.
During the 2016 campaign, Trump reportedly enjoyed a slightly different combination: two Big Macs, two Filet-O-Fish sandwiches and a chocolate shake, according to the book “Let Trump Be Trump” by Trump experts Corey Lewandowski and David Bossie.
