The attorney for former president and convicted felon Donald Trump says he dropped 8 pounds dodging what he described as a "plethora" of unhealthy food daily toted into court by his client.

Todd Blanche described Trump's fast food feasts during his criminal hush money trial to For the Defense podcaster David Oscar Markus.

“Was it McDonald’s for lunch every single day?” Markus asked.

"There would just be this plethora of, like, just food everywhere," Blanche said of the legal team's war room. "There’s pizza and there’s other non-healthy alternatives to McDonald’s.

"Everybody gets food — there's a lot of food."

Blanche's description of the daily meals — which he skipped — is visually confirmed by a TikTok post from Donald Trump Jr. last week, in which he beams with unbridled delight after his father says, "My son's doing well on social media and I'm proud of him."

The video shows Trump and his son seated before a table topped with chips, soda, boxes of movie theater candy and what an eagle-eyed Daily Beast reporter describes as "what appeared to be four Hostess SnoBalls."

Jose Pagliery quipped that while Blanche suffered a defeat in Justice Juan Merchan's Manhattan criminal courtroom and says he sprouted a few grey hairs, "at least he dodged Trump’s junk food."

Trump's McDonald's order typically includes two Big Macs, two fish filet sandwiches and a chocolate malt, according to a Washington Post report on former campaign manager Corey Lewendowski's book published in 2017.

"On Trump Force One there were four major food groups: McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken, pizza and Diet Coke,” the authors wrote. “The orchestrating and timing of Mr. Trump’s meals was as important as any other aspect of his march to the presidency."

According to the Post, "The plane’s cupboards were stacked with Vienna Fingers, potato chips, pretzels and many packages of Oreos."
