Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is commenting on how good he thinks President Donald Trump looks.
Kennedy spoke with Fox News’s Sean Hannity and the conversation veered to Trump’s health, per The Hill.
Kennedy told Hannity he had recently seen Trump and said, “I think he’s lost 30 pounds.”
His remark was in response to Hannity commenting the president “is getting healthier.”
“He looks great. And he told me, he’s not using … for example, if he has a burger now, he usually doesn’t have it with a bun,” Hannity said.
Kennedy also commented on Trump’s diet.
“Oh, I didn’t know that he was actually changing his diet,” he said, adding, “I have to say this … and even with all the — can I say — crap that he eats.”
The couple talked at a Steak ‘n Shake in Florida. The company will be using beef tallow instead of seed oils for its french fries as a healthier option.
“But he has a genetic system that, like …” Kennedy began.
Hannity finished Kennedy’s sentence: “is second to none.”
The conversation continued with Hannity asking Kennedy if he had an issue with sugary drinks or diet sodas.
“Yes,” Kennedy said.
“But, again, you’re not going to ban it,” Hannity asked.
“I’m not going to take them away from people, but we shouldn’t be subsidizing them,” Kennedy said. “We shouldn’t, as you said, 10% of food stamps, which are federally funded, taxpayer-funded program … is going to the poorest neighborhoods.”
Kennedy is pushing a “Make America Healthy Again” stance. This includes reviewing programs — such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — that allow Americans to purchase what is considered unhealthy foods.
