Cheryl Hines Says RFK. Jr Was Forced to Eat McDonald’s With Trump
Junk was the only thing on the menu on the president-elect’s jet, she claimed.

RFK Jr. faced a tricky dilemma as he sat with Donald Trump on the jubilant president-elect’s plane shortly after the election. Trump has made no secret of his liking for McDonald’s fast food and the table—where Elon Musk, Donald Trump Jr., and House Speaker Mike Johnson were also seated—was set with trays full of Big Macs, fries, and soda. By the same token, Kennedy is disdainful of junk food, calling it “poison.” But according to his wife, actress Cheryl Hines, Kennedy decided he had no choice but to take his “poison.” She told TMZ: “I don’t think he had a choice … it’s all they had.” But Hines isn’t worried that he’ll be swayed by Trump’s bad eating habits in Washington, D.C. if he is confirmed as the nation’s next health chief. “Bobby is a very strong-willed, strong-minded person,” she said, adding that she plans to continue acting even if Kennedy does join Trump’s administration. “I will pay attention to my career and do what I do and support my husband,” she said.
