Donald Trump makes sure there’s a stash of processed food at places and events he frequents. A\u00a0special, “poison” bowl of candy<\/a>\u00a0lurks near the Oval Office,\u00a0filled with\u00a0Starburst, Tootsie Rolls, and other sugary treats. Then there’s\u00a0the burger he’ll sneak in before a fancy state dinner<\/a>. It’s no surprise, then, that Trump pairs golf, one of his signature activities, with a popular fast food. While they don’t get the same publicity as his consumption of Big Macs and Diet Coke, hot dogs are Trump’s preferred snack during golf rounds. In a Daily Beast podcast episode titled “Inside Trump’s Head,”<\/a>\u00a0journalist Michael Wolff revealed that Trump scarfs down two hot dogs on the green \u2014 and that allegedly, each one “goes in all at once.” According to the golf tracking site, Did Trump Golf Today?<\/a>, the president visited golf clubs one quarter of the days in the first year of his second term.<\/p>\n

As is often the case with Trump’s fast food fixation, his affinity for hot dogs has surfaced on numerous occasions over the years. During an online feud with actor Samuel L. Jackson in 2016, a tweet<\/a> from actor Anthony Anderson mentioned Trump snacking on hot dogs and shrimp. A photo\u00a0posted to\u00a0Instagram<\/a> in 2024 shows him ordering a hot dog at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster.\u00a0Then there’s the\u00a0Instagram reel<\/a> of granddaughter, Kai Trump, asking the president his favorite snack as they cruise the green in a golf cart. “On a golf course? Hot dog is good.”\u00a0Trump mused.<\/p>\n

Like other sports, golf pairs well with hot dogs. Except here, the players eat. The ritual is so ingrained in the game that there’s actually a term for it \u2014 hot dog at the turn. This refers to a finger food break halfway through the game, generally after the ninth hole. Thus, Donald Trump’s golf glizzies are par for the course.<\/p>\n

Condiment preferences are a real sticking point for hot dog fans, and for the president, only\u00a0mustard will do.\u00a0In a TikTok<\/a>\u00a0featuring golfer Bryson DeChambeau eating a hot dog with only ketchup, Trump, who stood beside him at the concession stand, called him “a different kind of a guy.”<\/p>\n

In another instance in 2021, talk show host Michael Savage of “The Savage Nation” shared hot dogs with Trump aboard Air Force One. The Commander in Chief was served two hot dogs and offered one to Savage, along with the mustard that came alongside it. The talk show host also noted that Trump ate his using a fork and knife. This harks back to the bizarre way he eats pizza<\/a>, using cutlery to feast on the cheese and toppings without the crust.
