MYSTERY has always surrounded why the billionaire Donald Trump tucks in to so much cheap fast food – but now the real reason behind his penchant for a Big Mac or KFC bucket can be revealed.
During his presidential campaign, Trump's calorific diet came under the spotlight as well as his weight.
But it has always been baffling why Trump – dubbed the "fast-food president"- loves a takeaway when he is so luxurious about everything else?
Now this burning question can answered once and for all.
And it is all has to do with Trump's love of being in control.
For he mostly eats takeouts from chain restaurants because he believes them to be clean.
Speaking at a Republican town, Trump praised Wendy's and McDonald's for maintaining what he called "a certain standard".
He said: "I like cleanliness and I think you're better off going there than maybe some place that you have no idea where the food is coming from."
So it seems the property mogul is a germaphobe and wants to avoid catching a tummy bug.
