Trump's McDonald's binges and screaming fits revealed in new book: Jon Swaine, The Guardian, 3 December 2017
Donald Trump’s preferred order at McDonald’s has been revealed as a
waistband-busting meal containing alarming amounts of fat and salt.
During campaign stops at the fast food restaurant the president would
ask for two Big Macs, two Filet-O-Fishes and a chocolate milkshake,
according to a insider’s account of his presidential bid.
Trump’s order amounts to 2,420 calories, according to McDonald’s
nutritional data. US authorities generally advise men to consume about
2,500 calories per day.
His chosen meal also contains 112g of fat, which is 172% of Trump’s
recommended daily allowance, as well as 3,470mg of salt – 144% of his
recommended daily intake.
Trump’s former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, and deputy
campaign manager, David Bossie, revealed details of the campaign diet in
a new book, titled Let Trump Be Trump.
The authors said meals aboard the presidential campaign plane were dominated by fast food.
“On Trump Force One there were four major food groups: McDonald’s,
Kentucky Fried Chicken, pizza and Diet Coke,” they wrote, according to a copy obtained by The Washington Post.
The Post said the book also revealed that the plane had to be stocked
with bountiful supplies of cookies and other snacks because “Trump, a
renowned germaphobe, would not eat from a previously opened package”.
The former campaign officials said Trump was known to scream
expletive-laden rants at aides who were left with their “face ripped
off”.
“The mode that he switches into when things aren’t going his way can
feel like an all-out assault” they write. “It’d break most hardened men
and women into little pieces.”
Both authors appeared on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday. Asked if Trump’s rages had ever made him consider leaving
the campaign, Lewandowski said: “I never thought about quitting.
“But, you know, when you give up the sacrifice of time with your
family and all the things that were important to you and he demands such
perfection, and he deserves it.”
Lewandowski was fired as Trump’s campaign manager in June 2016.

Trump’s campaign: Big Macs, screaming fits and constant rivalries: Michael Kranish, The Washington Post, 2 December 2017 (excerpt)
...Trump’s appetite
seems to know no bounds when it comes to McDonald’s, with a dinner order
consisting of “two Big Macs, two Fillet-O-Fish, and a chocolate
malted".
Trump’s
fast-food diet is a theme. “On Trump Force One there were four major
food groups: McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken, pizza and Diet Coke,”
the authors write. The plane’s cupboards were stacked with Vienna
Fingers, potato chips, pretzels and many packages of Oreos because
Trump, a renowned germaphobe, would not eat from a previously opened
package. The book notes that “the orchestrating and timing of Mr.
Trump’s meals was as important as any other aspect of his march to the
presidency,” and it describes the elaborate efforts that Lewandowski and
other top aides went through to carefully time their delivery of hot
fast food to Trump’s plane as he was departing his rallies.

Tristram Shandy: The Battle of the Cataplasm
The Battle of the Cataplasm: engraving by Henry Bunbury in The Life & Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, published by J. Bretherton, London, 1773. Dr.
Slop and Susannah exchanging abuse; Dr. Slop stands, with his wig
burning, about to throw cataplasm in Susannah's face. Susannah stands
behind the cradle in which lies the infant Tristram, a plaster across
his nose, as she holds her nose and a candle. (British Cartoon Collection, Library of Congress)
WHEN the cataplasm was ready, a scruple of decorum had unseasonably rose up in Susannah's conscience, about holding the candle, whilst Slop tied it on; Slop had not treated Susannah's distemper with anodines, ----- and so a quarrel had ensued betwixt them. ----- Oh! oh! ----- said Slop, casting a glance of undue freedom in Susannah's face, as she declined the office; ----- then, I think I know you, madam ----- You know me, Sir! cried Susannah
fastidiously, and with a toss of her head, levelled evidently, not at
his profession, but at the doctor himself, ----- you know me! cried Susannah again. ----- Doctor Slop clapped his finger and his thumb instantly upon his nostrils; ----- Susannah's spleen was ready to burst at it; ----- Tis false, said Susannah. ----- Come, come, Mrs. Modesty, said Slop,
not a little elated with the success of his last thrust, ----- if you
won't hold the candle, and look ----- you may hold it and shut your
eyes: ----- That's one of your popish shifts, cried Susannah: ----- 'Tis better, said Slop, with a nod, than no shift at all, young woman; ----- I defy you, Sir, cried Susannah, pulling her shift sleeve below her elbow.
It was almost impossible for two persons to assist each other in a surgical case with a more splenetic cordiality.
Slop snatched up the cataplasm, ----- Susannah snatched up the candle; ----- A little this way, said Slop; Susannah looking one way, and rowing another, instantly set fire to Slop's
wig, which being somewhat bushy and unctuous withal, was burnt out
before it was well kindled. ----- You impudent whore! cried Slop, ----- (for what is passion, but a wild beast) ----- you impudent whore, cried Slop, getting upright, with the cataplasm in his hand; ----- I never was the destruction of any body's nose, said Susannah,----- which is more than you can say: ---- Is it ? cried Slop, throwing the cataplasm in her face; ----- Yes, it is, cried Susannah, returning the compliment with what was left in the pan. -----

Resident Taina holds her brother Ysaque in the
hallway outside their apartment in an occupied building in the Mangueira
favela community, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Hundreds of residents who live in the surrounding structures must
collect water from hoses as there is no running water in the buildings.
Much of the Mangueira favela community sits about a kilometer away from
Maracana stadium, the site of the opening and closing ceremonies for the
Rio 2016 Olympic Games. The stadium has received hundreds of millions
of dollars in renovations ahead of the World Cup and Olympics. The Morar
Carioca plan to urbanize Rio's favelas, or unplanned settlements, by
2020, was one key social legacy project heralded ahead of the Rio 2016
Olympic Games. The plan has mostly failed to materialize. Around 1.4
million residents, or approximately 22 percent of Rio's population,
reside in favelas which often lack proper sanitation, health care,
education and security due to gang and police violence.: photo by Mario Tama, 13 August 2016

He dead, brother. Shot for going into the zoo moat in attempt to save a small black kid he may well have perceived as fam. His intent to rescue was perhaps mistaken as something else. A fair amount of middle school age white kids mourned him. The mourning was perhaps in part adolescent mockery, but, I was convinced, in part also an unspoken plea, a tacit outcry against the life path of repetitive hollowness and deceit which, again to see this from their imagined POV, had been laid out for them by their ever so protective parents, a path that would have guardrails from cradle to grave, and contain nothing wild in it or even anywhere near it, at all.
On the other hand better a bagel than a big Mac, I guess, even when you're dead, esp when you're a vegetarian. On the still other hand, maybe when you're dead you just aren't hungry. On the third or fourth hand, something tells me being zoo'd doesn't do much for appetite. On the first available flipper, though, who needs appetite any more, once dead. My own humble post-death experience, car hit, left for dead in kindly USA street, was first, Huh, no big deal, glad to have THAT over with. But then, double take, alive but paralyzed, appetite not so much.
However I can see that the state of being bereft from life might be a matter of much greater regret were one a silverback, rather than merely an old white schlumpf. Now there's a hypothetical. Which is more valued in this wonderful society of the present tense now, old white schlumpfs or silverbacks? Leaving out of the equation anything or anyone orange, of course.
You are too kind, sir. But as you ask, I believe I'll have a cataplasm with raisins. Mrs. Whitey aka Madame Beyond is marvelously minimal in her needs, fortunately for her, given the circumstances. She'd probably settle for the whole wheat kale with a side order of Impeachment. She's not from here. Didn't deserve any of this. Except perhaps maybe that wwk w/I.
(Wait, you mean there's a side Amazon's not on?? What about the X-treme Delivery Space Drones? All the neighbors seem to have those. We've never quite fit in around here. Though then again, on the freeway feeder, I guess having been run over will do quite nicely for bonafides. A number of the neighbors have those. On their gravestones I mean.)
