Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is the latest Trump administration official to make attention-grabbing remarks about President Donald Trump’s health.
The health and human services secretary appeared this week on Katie Miller’s podcast, where he and Miller — the wife of White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller — discussed the president’s condition.
“He’s got — he’s in incredible health,” Kennedy, 71, said. “Dr. Oz looked at his medical records and said he’s got the highest testosterone level that he’s ever seen for an individual over 70 years old.”
“I know the president will be happy that I’ll repeat that,” he added, as Miller, 34, laughed.
Harvard Medical School notes that “having too much naturally-occurring testosterone is not a common problem among men.” The school also lists potential risks associated with high testosterone, including heart muscle damage and increased risk of heart attack, liver disease, fluid retention, headaches, increased risk of blood clots, and “mood swings, euphoria, irritability, impaired judgment, delusions.”
Kennedy also praised Trump, 79, saying the president has “the constitution of a deity,” even as he described what he called unhealthy daily habits.
“He eats really bad food, which is McDonald’s, and candy and Diet Coke. But he drinks Diet Coke at all times,” Kennedy said. “I don’t know how he’s alive.”
A White House spokesperson responded in a statement, saying, “Secretary Kennedy is right: as his golf championships and flawless physical report results indicate, President Trump has the constitution and energy levels most young people could only dream of having.”
Trump’s health has long been a focus for both supporters and critics.
Earlier this month, Trump addressed recent questions about his age and stamina in an interview with The Wall Street Journal for a story titled “As Signs of Aging Emerge, Trump Responds With Defiance.” In the interview, Trump insisted he has “perfect health,” denied that recent photos showed him dozing off in meetings, and said his frequently bruised hands are due to taking a higher daily dose of aspirin than doctors recommend.
“They say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood, and I don’t want thick blood pouring through my heart,” Trump told the outlet. “I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart. Does that make sense?”
The discussion also revisited an October 2025 podcast interview with Republican National Committee Chairman Joe Gruters that appeared to support Kennedy’s description of Trump’s eating habits.
In the clip, Gruters described traveling with Trump during the 2024 campaign and being surprised by how much the president ate.
Gruters recalled Trump having “hot fries waiting for him from McDonald’s,” followed by “a Filet-O-Fish, a Quarter Pounder and a Big Mac.”
Even more startling, Gruters said, “I think he combined two of them.”
That account aligns with another description of Trump’s fast-food preferences included in Let Trump Be Trump, a 2017 book by two former aides, David Bossie and Corey Lewandowski.
In the book, Bossie and Lewandowski describe Trump ordering “two Big Macs, two Filet-O-Fish and a chocolate malted.”
They added, “On Trump Force One, there were four major food groups: McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken, pizza and Diet Coke.”
