Man eats bizarre diets of Donald Trump and Joe Biden for a day to see how he'd feel after each one

From well-done steaks to eating 'like an eight-year-old', US presidents have interesting tastes

Usually, when someone takes on a bit of a bizarre diet, it’s to fulfil some mad challenge or drastic transformation.

You know, like Ross Edgely doing his ‘Shark Diet’ to compete with a tiger shark, not just to compare politics.

Yes, a diet based on politics. This bloke decided to eat the bizarre diets of Donald Trump and Joe Biden for a day to see how he’d feel after each one.

Bennett Rea runs TikTok channel ‘cookinwithcongress’ which holds the description: “Real recipes. Real politicians. Real nasty.”

He often posts videos breaking down the diets of famous US politicians and former presidents, so while the 2024 US election campaigns are ramping up, he decided to give them a try for himself.

For the Trump day, he started off with ‘just diet coke’ for breakfast – four cans of the stuff.

Then it was a bag of crisps and another Diet Coke for a snack before a well-done steak with ketchup, a side salad and dressing. Oh, and another can of the fizzy stuff.

Dinner consisted of a mega Maccies meal made up of two Big Macs, two Filet-O-Fishes, a small chocolate shake and yes, another Diet Coke.

He said the day left his stomach ‘a little upset’ as he was ‘pretty scared’ for the consequences in the morning.

Rea also told the Daily Mail that the Trump diet left him feeling ‘hungover’ as he took half a day off work the next day

“I don't understand how someone in their 60s, 70s or 80s can eat like Donald Trump for a full day," he said.

"It was getting too close to a 'Supersize Me' experiment and a feeling of I won't do this for more than a day because I have health concerns.”

Overall, Trump’s diet had a mega 4,400mg of salt with an estimated 3,200 calories every 24 hours.

However, Biden’s diet is a little different with a lower 2,600 calories a day. Although, it left Rea ‘bored as hell’.

A real swerve from his opponent, the current US president’s brekkie features a bowl of Special K and an orange Gatorade to drink.


Snacks consist of the likes of protein bars, Fig Newtons and more Gatorade.

For lunch, he eats ‘like a child’ with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with an apple and yes, more orange Gatorade.

To finish the day, it’s the ‘most unlikeable of pastas’ - angel hair pasta - and then it’s a dessert of vanilla chocolate-chip ice cream.

Rather than feeling hungover after this day of eating, Rea said on TikTok he felt ‘like a bored eight-year-old’.
