President-elect Trump and members of his inner circle shared a McDonald's meal aboard Trump's private plane, and Donald Trump Jr. posted a photo Sunday morning and joked that the Trump campaign's mission to make Americans becoming healthier will have to wait a day.
Trump and his entourage included Elon Musk, the speaker of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, R-Louisiana, Donald Trump Jr. and, perhaps most surprisingly, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump's pick for health secretary and Human Services. Kennedy, an outspoken critic of processed foods, was photographed with McDonald's food and a Coca-Cola.
Trump Jr. captioned the photo: “Making America healthy again starts TOMORROW.”
The group had traveled to New York City on Saturday to attend UFC 309 at Madison Square Garden, the site of Trump's historic campaign rally last month.

Kennedy has not been shy about sharing his opinions on the president-elect's diet.
“The things he eats are really bad,” Kennedy told podcaster Joe Polish on Monday.
“Campaign food is always bad, but the food that goes on that plane is, like, just poison,” he said of the food aboard Trump's private plane. “You can choose between… you don't have a choice, they give you KFC or Big Macs. That's when you get lucky, and then the rest of the things I consider inedible.”
