What’s On The Menu: The Favorite Foods of 22 Former and Current World Leaders (2 of 12)

Barack Obama

Barack Obama has an eclectic palate, influenced by his diverse upbringing. He enjoyed a wide range of cuisines, from traditional American comfort food like hamburgers and chili to exotic dishes like Indonesian nasi goreng and Hawaiian poke. Obama is also known for his love of healthy fare, often opting for salads and grilled fish. But during an appearance on Jerry Seinfeld’s Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee web series, the former president confessed that, as far as he’s concerned, nothing beats a good plate of nachos.

Donald Trump

Donald Trump’s food choices have often attracted attention due to his unusual and specific preferences. He avoids alcohol, coffee, and even the crust of a pizza slice. However, he’s quite open about his fondness for Diet Coke, fast food, and cherry-vanilla ice cream.

Trump’s love for fast food, particularly from a certain fast-food chain with golden arches, is well-known. During the 2016 presidential campaign, he often needed a morning pick-me-up, which came from one of his favorite spots. It’s famously known that his bodyguard would dash to a McDonald’s near the Marine Air Terminal in Queens to grab him some Egg McMuffins.
