Donald Trump's Favorite Breakfast Is A Simple Classic
Donald Trump is as American as it gets, especially when it comes to his food preferences. When you're President of the Unites States with a full staff of top-tier chefs working in The White House kitchen, pretty much any kind of prepared meal is at your disposal. However, for Trump, what he prefers to eat day to day doesn't look much different from what most average Americans are eating, including his favorite breakfast: bacon and eggs. In fact, bacon and eggs is the favorite breakfast of many an American president. Harry S. Truman had his eggs and bacon with a side of bourbon while John F. Kennedy preferred his bacon baked and his eggs boiled. Barack Obama sometimes accompanied his eggs, toast, and potatoes with bacon. As for Trump, "bacon medium and the eggs over-well" is what he told People Magazine in 2015. The only breakfast that might be more of an American classic than bacon and eggs is cereal, which Trump has also proclaimed a liking for, though he favors seriously specific kinds of cereal. "Made in the USA. Has to be made in the USA. You know the cornflake type stuff, Raisin Bran. Has to be right out of the fields of Iowa" (via Politico). However, if Trump isn't enjoying either of these options, during his campaigning in 2016, Trump's mornings were said to be fueled with McDonald's Egg McMuffins.

Specifically, he has an affinity for McDonald's. In a 2016 interview on The Dr. Oz Show (via Buzzfeed), Trump stated that he usually skips breakfast and prefers to eat fast-food because "at least you know what they're putting in it." What Trump meant by this statement is since everything on the menu of fast-food chains is consistently prepared with the same ingredients or made in advance, it alleviates his fear of being poisoned. In truth, that's barely scratching the surface as to why Donald Trump loves McDonald's so much. If he's skipping breakfast, one might assume he's at least sipping on a coffee or tea, but no; not exactly. Trump prefers Diet Coke and lots of it. Apparently, Donald Trump can drunk upwards of a dozen cans of Diet Coke every day. It's was been reported he fell asleep during his hush money trial in 2024 due to not drinking enough Diet Coke. His preferred breakfast of bacon and eggs could use a healthy source of fiber in some form (any of his go-to breakfast options could, honestly), but it appears to be working for him. At 78 years old, he continues to have enduring energy despite being in the public eye. For more food and drink goodness, join The Takeout's newsletter.

Elon Musk's Mother Shares 1989 Aptitude Test Results Revealing 'Highest Engineering Aptitude' Score Of Tesla CEO At Age 17
Maye Musk, mother of Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk, revealed on Sunday a 1989 computer aptitude test showing her son's exceptional engineering potential at age 17. What Happened: 'While sorting through photos, I came across computer aptitude test results of Elon Musk at 17. My genius boy. Proud mom,' the 77-year-old model and dietitian wrote on X. The University of Pretoria document, dated May 17, 1989, shows Musk received A+ scores in both operating and programming on ISM tests, results that the tech mogul claimed were unprecedented. 'They said I scored the highest for engineering aptitude that they had ever seen,' Musk commented. 'Or, in other words, not bad for a human, as a future AI might say.' Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — This revelation comes amid Musk's continued focus on artificial intelligence through his companies, xAI and Tesla, which are developing AI technologies for various applications. Why It Matters: The aptitude scores offer insight into Musk's early technical abilities, long before founding companies like SpaceX and becoming CEO of Tesla. These early indicators of technical prowess preceded his emergence as the world's richest individual, currently worth over $381 billion according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Despite her son's immense wealth, Maye Musk recently revealed she sleeps in modest accommodations when visiting him. 'You can't have a fancy house near a rocket site,' she explained in a previous interview, referencing his Texas SpaceX facility. Maye has frequently recounted the family's humble beginnings following her 1979 divorce, when financial constraints meant feeding her children bean stew rather than expensive cereals. 'I remember Elon saying, 'I always wanted Coco Pops, but we only got Raisin Bran,'' she told Fox News. Read Next: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — Invest before it's too late.

25 Old-School Foods People Swear By
If you think about foods your grandparents might enjoy, a few things come to mind: Raisin Bran, Grape Nuts, Cream of Wheat, oatmeal — the list goes on. All of these cereals are unquestionably "old person foods," and despite their reputations, people of all ages love 'em. I say the term "old person foods" with no hate — I personally love Raisin Bran and can't tell you how many times my friends have poked fun at me for buying it. I knew I wasn't the only person who loved this category of food, so I asked Tasty readers about the "old person foods" they simply can't get enough of. Hundreds of people replied with their grandparent-approved grocery staples and recipes, and I'm honestly taking notes for my next grocery run. Here are 25 responses, as told by the Tasty Community: "Werther's Originals. I don't care that having them rolling around in my purse makes me feel like I'm 80. They are delicious." —Karen, 34, Texas "I love oatmeal and Cream of Wheat for breakfast, especially the more 'old person' flavors such as raisin, date, and walnut!" "I love Ambrosia Salad. Light, fluffy, fruity, sorta sweet. It's perfect for a summer dessert when anything else feels heavy." —Lunamyluna "Meatloaf, Raisin Bran, and oatmeal with peanut butter in it. I'm only 43 years old, but wow, this is good stuff!" "Oh my god, prunes! Especially the ones soaked in a little cherry juice. They're so good, but people act like I'm wild if I pull them out of my lunchbox! Nothing wrong with taking care of your gut with something tasty!" "I hate to say it, and I hope I don't sound ridiculous, but beans. Black, pinto, navy, refried — you name it. What I love most about beans, beyond being high in protein and how cheap and easy they are, is their versatility. They make a great side dish or can be the main dish all on their own. I don't care if liking beans makes me an old fart, they're delicious and nutritious and for that I gotta give 'em love." —Alex, 27, Arkansas "Bourbon pecan ice cream! It's crunchy, creamy, and a classic." "Grape nuts. I know that no one knows what they actually are, and my children say they break your teeth when you eat them, but I think they're so good! Plus, eating a bowl will keep you full for a solid six-plus hours! That's called sticking to your ribs, kids!" "Tuna noodle casserole! I learned it in Home Ec, and I've perfected it over the years." —Ginny Jensen "Tapioca pudding. My 15-year-old makes fun of me for it all the time." "Cucumber sandwich: cucumber slices with mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Yummy!" "Every day is best when capped with a fig and Jeopardy. My grandma and I agree." —protrout978 "Bread pudding or pistachio ice cream. My friends call me an old man every time I talk about how good those two things are." "I always keep an Entenmann's Coffee Cake on hand just in case company shows up." "Fig Newtons." —Jenna, Threads "Liver and onions. I'm 33 and absolutely love it." "Lemon meringue pie." "Warm cornbread with butter and molasses." —Shawna, Instagram "Boston Baked Beans (the candy) and burnt peanuts. My friends have made fun of my old lady candy." "Porridge every morning, and if I have something else besides it, I actually miss not eating it." "Butter cookies that come in tins. That stuff slaps." —Ashley, Instagram "Cottage cheese with Dorothy Lynch dressing." "One of my favorite side dishes is a 'salad' made of shredded carrots, raisins, and mayonnaise. IDK, man, it's just good." "Liverwurst! Also brown butter spätzle." —Kyle, 36, Colorado "Sun-brewed tea. My grandmother would put iced tea bags (and a TON of real sugar) in a large covered pitcher and set it outside in direct sunlight for a few hours. Not the fastest way to make tea, but hers was the best tea I've ever had. Unfortunately, apartment living makes it hard for me to sun-brew on my own, but I definitely dream of her sweet tea."

What's An "Old Person" Food Preference You Have That You'd Defend Every Time?
I think we can all agree that some foods are distinctly old person-coded. Cream of wheat, oatmeal, meatloaf – they're all foods that you'd likely find at your grandma's dining table. I'm not saying this in a hateful way, either. I'm actually a fan of some of these foods myself. I can't tell you how many times I've been made fun of for buying Raisin Bran of my own free will. (In fact, I've never met another person under the age of 26 who also likes Raisin Bran like I do. Something about the sweetness of the raisins paired with the crunch of the cereal makes it wildly addictive.) So now, I'm are your favorite old person-coded foods? Whether it's something you buy at the store or a recipe that was popular decades ago, we want to know the old person-coded foods you just can't get enough of. Hungry for more?

Honey Bunches of Oats Maker Post To Shut Two Plants as Cereal Demand Wanes
Post Holdings said Wednesday that it is closing two of its plants, citing a decline in demand for 'ready-to-eat' cereals. Post's two plants, one in Cobourg, Ontario and the other in Sparks, Nevada, employ around 300 people combined and are expected to be shuttered by the end of the year. The cereal maker's brands include Raisin Bran, Honey Bunches of Oats, and Shredded Holdings (POST) said Wednesday that it is closing two of its plants, citing a decline in demand for 'ready-to-eat' cereals. The maker of Raisin Bran, Honey Bunches of Oats, and Shredded Wheat cereals said the two plants—one in Cobourg, Ontario and the other in Sparks, Nevada—employ around 300 people combined and are expected to be shuttered by the end of the year. Production will be instead transferred to other manufacturing sites, the company said. "The ready-to-eat cereal category continues to decline,' Post Consumer Brands President and CEO Nicolas Catoggio said. 'To respond to this, we are reducing excess manufacturing capacity and optimizing our North American plant network to better utilize our production capacity." Last month, Lucky Charms cereal maker General Mills (GIS) issued a downbeat outlook following a 'slowdown in U.S. snacking categories, and softer demand in U.S. away-from-home food channels." Post shares were little changed in recent trading. They've gained about 11% in the past 12 months. Read the original article on Investopedia Sign in to access your portfolio
