What food will Picky eat?

BY TIM MARCIN

... Trump eats like a 6-foot-plus, 240-pound child — if that youngster had the ability to push a button and make a lackey fetch a Coke ...

... McDonald's burgers and Kentucky Fried Chicken are staples ... "The Big Macs are great. The Quarter Pounder. It's great stuff."

... this trip is going to be a nightmare for Trump's stomach. While some might consider trying other cultures' foods a valuable and exciting experience, the president is a man of routine who is about to lose control over his meal plan ...

He won't get his usual Big Mac. It won't taste the same.

Add in short on sleep and short on comfort foods, and this trip has all the makings of a complete fiasco. If President Trump doesn't start a war, it will be deemed a success by the subterranean low-bar standards set for him by the popular media.

funny.

He won't have to go too far out of his comfort food zone.

Trump can grab a Falafel in honor of O'Reilly while in Israel.
