Trump doctor hid cauliflower in mashed potatoes to improve diet: report

[brooklynite]

Source: The Hill

President Trump’s former doctor reportedly hid cauliflower in his mashed potatoes in an attempt to improve the president’s diet.

Former White House physician Ronny Jackson told The New York Times that he regretted leaving his position before he could implement the diet and exercise regimen planned for Trump.

“The exercise stuff never took off as much as I wanted it to,” he said. “But we were working on his diet. We were making the ice cream less accessible, we were putting cauliflower into the mashed potatoes.”

Jackson announced in an early 2018 press conference that he intended to help the president lose 10 to 15 pounds and transport an exercise bike or elliptical machine into the White House, according to the Times.

1. Makes sense, sounds like what I would do for my toddler.

I'd hate to be the one who told him that ice cream was not available!

[smb]

49. Better Wait Until He's Finished His Cauliflower-Potatoes...

...or else he might have a tantrum and throw them at you.

[Initech]

2. I'd rather be extra butter, maybe a spoonful or two of some pure lard.

Then deep fry and cover in cheese. Then he needs to finish with some foods from the whipped group and chocotastic groups.

[moniss]

6. Perhaps

followed by a butter popsicle rolled in sugar.

9. Hey! Did you go to Hollywood Upstairs Medical College too?

[moniss]

12. Why yes

I did go there. I was delivering a pizza and they gave me this dandy certificate instead of a tip. I had to get my own frame though and I got one on the going-out-of-business sale at my local Toys-R-Us. I keep it hanging in my garage.....er....I mean waiting room. Right next to my mail order certificate that makes me a minister.....or something or other. I keep my "practice" straightforward though and the signs are clearly posted that say "No insurance accepted, no checks, no credit cards" and "Cash Payment in Advance".

37. Hi Doctor Nick

[Initech]

41. Hi everybody!!!

[Squinch]

15. With a ground glass garnish.

[EndlessWire]

20. LOL! n/t

[CaptYossarian]

3. The spoon turned into a choo-choo train.

Takes me back to when Thurston Howell slept with a Teddy bear.

[bucolic_frolic]

4. Fake Potatoes?

OMG!

[forgotmylogin]

33. Mashed cauliflower is actually great.

I know people who can make it and actually fool people into thinking it's real potatoes. The trick is steaming the cauliflower well and then making sure it's bone dry before mashing so there is as little water as possible in the mix.

You can even do half potato - half cauliflower to cut down the carbs.

I love that they were plotting to fool I45 into eating healthier!

[SoCalNative]

39. Kind of like the trick

to get little children to eat vegetables by adding them to the chicken nuggets.

[forgotmylogin]

44. Yes!

I see "broccoli tots" in the freezer section and am fascinated. I wish they were low carb cause I'd totally eat them!

[TexasBushwhacker]

46. Unfortunately, mass produced broccoli tots have wheat

therefore, they aren't particularly low carb.

[Mosby]

52. A lot of veggie relacement foods are like that

Cauliflower pizza:

https://www.target.com/p/caulipower-frozen-pizza-margherita-10-9oz/-/A-54017673

49g carbs, 3g fiber.

Might as well eat a bowl of pasta.

Veggie carrot goldfish have the same carbs as the regular ones, but adds a whopping gram of fiber.

[TexasBushwhacker]

53. I've seen wheat free recipes for cauliflower fritters

Haven't tried them yet, but they look pretty tasty.

[forgotmylogin]

54. Yeah, I was disappointed when I read the info.

However, I do notice broccoli is *pulverized* into a paste in a pressure cooker any longer than 2 minutes or so. I may try to do a combined broccoli/cauliflower mash sometime!

[noneof_theabove]

35. my only choice

quite allergic to all potatoes including yams [sweet taters] back in 2011

more than a small fry bag a week and I nearly tear my ankles off scratching.

I found out the hard way [bleeding], working on web site that night, that my lunch meatloaf was cut with tater flakes or left over mashed.

[LiberalFighter]

5. I question anything that Jackson says.

I seriously doubt that Jackson made any attempt to change his diet.

[IronLionZion]

7. Jackson probably wrote scripts for all sorts of dangerous pills

Trump and anyone working with him are probably high as kites all the time.

[lastlib]

8. Damn him.

If they keep the basturd healthy, we have to put up with it longer! Why can't they just let the shitgibbon croak off?

[NurseJackie]

10. A prison food diet might help him lose weight.

[not fooled]

11. But...but...but

Since red don weighs 239 lbs, losing 10 or 15 might make him underweight for his height...that would be a bad thing, no?

[SWBTATTReg]

13. In no way would hiding one veggie improve the overall diet of someone...rump is a lazy a&& who...

would call someone else in to lose the 15 pounds he needed to lose, instead of him actually losing it.

He going to drop dead from something eventually because he won't listen to anybody and before you know it, he's gone. All solely because of his and no one else's actions. You do reap what you sow...

[BigmanPigman]

25. Not soon enough for me.

[BillyBobBrilliant]

14. Should have mixed

a bunch of extra butter in there.

[Grokenstein]

16. ...Exercise?? TRUMP??

Hah!

Maybe Doc Ronny would have served the nation better by encouraging Golfcart McBonespurs to eat at Jimmy John's. I read they have the best vegetables, with plenty of Vitamin E(coli).

[TheBlackAdder]

17. I'm sure they gave him a Yelper's Special every chance they could.

.

[Raven]

18. That is really, really pathetic...really sad. We've got Jabba the Hutt in the White House. n/t

[iscooterliberally]

19. If Trump wants to lose 15 lbs of ugly fat and 'make America great again' at the same time,

all he has to do is take out a sword and cut his own head off.

[MontanaMama]

21. If they can hide cauliflower

then they can hide something else helpful...just sayin'!

[C_U_L8R]

28. Minny's Chocolate Pie.

Two servings for the Trumpderp

[MontanaMama]

29. Oh yes.

Please oh please oh please.

[Warpy]

22. This is what you do to toddlers, not adults

and it doesn't work all that well on toddlers.

As much as I dislike Demented Don, he should have been treated like an adult and allowed to face the consequences. Those are the kind of consequences his money can't buy his way out of.

[rickyhall]

23. Get him all the cheeseburgers he wants until his heart stops.

I'm fine with that.

[zentrum]

24. Wish he would keel over. Bring on

...the saturated fat and empty carbs please.

[doc03]

26. I say super size him every time he gets his McDonalds, maybe his heart will

explode.

[Scarsdale]

42. Heart?

What heart?

[sakabatou]

27. He's a goddamn toddler

[LaMouffette]

30. Let's make Trump exercise in front of a bunch of reporters . . .

just like Trump did to Miss Universe winner Alicia Machado. This is from a Daily Beast article:

“When Alicia Machado of Venezuela was named Miss Universe nine months ago, no one could accuse her of being the size of the universe,” the 1997 CNN report reads. “But as her universe expanded, so did she, putting on nearly 60 pounds.” (Years later, Machado would say she actually gained closer to just 15.)

It was then that Trump had invited what CNN called a “rowdy pool of reporters” to an exclusive gym to look on and snap photos as he trotted out the beauty queen to exercise in front of the cameras. Trump had her do sit-ups, ride a stationary bike, and jump rope for the crowd of photographers.

In recounting the gym incident to the New York Times, Machado said that “I was about to cry in that moment with all the cameras there. I said, ‘I don’t want to do this, Mr. Trump.’ He said, ‘I don’t care.’”

48. Imagine Him In A Gym Outfit Trying To Do Jumping Jacks nt

[LaMouffette]

51. Just one burpee would be enough to do him in!

[LisaL]

31. Usually if people say they are trying to make ice cream less accessible, they are talking about

a five year old.

[Mr.Bill]

32. So is Jackson trying to rehab his reputation

after writing a phony report on Trump's physical condition?

Fuck Ronny Jackson.

[SoCalNative]

40. He's running for a House seat in Texas

so...

[brewens]

34. No wonder Trump is paranoid about being poisoned. Personally, I like cauliflower well enough,

but guys like Trump won't touch that, broccoli, or any of that good for you stuff.

A buddy of mine that eats like that says his parents forced him to eat everything he didn't like. He's kind of still like a snotty little kid about a few things. So it's like, I'm a grownup now and don't have to eat anything I don't like. Of course that's everyone's right, but he missed out on learning to like a lot of things because of all that.

I wonder if Trump had a nanny that did that to him. He probably had her tortured and executed when he was in junior high.

[bucolic_frolic]

36. I think that's about more than just weight loss

Metabolic syndrome, allergies, pre-diabetes, pancreatitis come to mind.

[The Genealogist]

38. But I thought Jackson had portrayed the Dainty Digited Dotard as the picture of health!

God only knows what all is wrong with that man.

[hatrack]

43. Great, President Here-Comes-The-Airplane! is in command . . .

[Skittles]

45. pathetic

absolutely pathetic

[Aussie105]

47. As his senile demetia

takes him back to younger days and younger food preferences, he will be down to the one food all newborns get.

[tenderfoot]

50. Sounds like BULLSHIT

Which is to be expected from a crap publication like the Hill.
