Ivana Trump maintained her shape thanks to a disciplined lifestyle. Even though she tried to pass on her wisdom to Donald Trump, her ex-husband failed to assimilate it. “I can tell him 100 times, but he does what he wants anyway,” she told the New York Post in 2018. And he saw the consequences of his stubbornness. While Ivana stayed the same weight her whole life, Donald saw the number on the scale jump from 178 to 225 pounds.
However, she believes Donald has good genes and managed to stay relatively in good shape despite his lifestyle shortcomings. “He looks very, very good and is very healthy — his only weakness is the Big Mac, what can I tell you?” she said. It is no secret that the presidential candidate has a soft spot for fast food. His son-in-law Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump’s husband, revealed what he orders at McDonald’s, illustrating what Ivana meant by weakness. “Big Mac, Filet-o-Fish, fries and a vanilla shake,” he told the New York Post in 2022.
In January 2019, the then-president made a splash when he announced he intended to serve fast food at the White House banquet for the college football champions Clemson Tigers amid a government shutdown. “McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Burger King’s with some pizza. I think that would be their favorite food, so we’ll see what happens,” he told reporters, adding he would pay for the meals himself, according to CNN.
