NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- President Donald Trump's love of less-than-healthy food is no secret.
So it comes as no surprise that former White House physician Ronny L. Jackson, who left the West Wing last December after serving under the past three presidents, had to find creative ways to introduce healthy food into Trump's diet.
"The exercise stuff never took off as much as I wanted it to," Jackson told The New York Times, in reference to his plans to bring an exercise bike or elliptical machine into the White House residence. "But we were working on his diet. We were making the ice cream less accessible, we were putting cauliflower into the mashed potatoes."
Those efforts followed Jackson's infamous 2018 press conference at which he said Trump had "incredible genes" and that he did "exceedingly well" on a cognitive diet. He even claimed that if Trump had followed a healthier diet over the past two decades, he could have lived to 200.
Jackson also said at the press conference that his goal at the time was to help Trump lose 10 to 15 pounds -- that never happened though. Trump had gained four pounds by his next physical.
