The fast food, which was the favourite of president-elect Trump, does not align with RFK Jr's 'MAHA' philosophy which he had been advocating for years.

"How on earth did they get RFK Jr to eat McDonald's?," wrote one person jokingly on X.

"RFK Jr. won’t be lasting very long in this administration if he’s forced to eat McDonald’s. He doesn’t look happy," wrote another user.

"RFKs like ‘they caught me’," said a third user.

"This is not a good look. McDonald's is literally poison and here y'all are promoting it. Could have had a photo op with salads or a nice steak and potato dish but y'all went this route. Do better," commented a fourth user.

"Make McDonald’s Healthy Again too!" wrote a fifth user.

Last week, while speaking about former presidential nominee RFK Jr, podcaster Joe Polish said, “Campaign food is always bad, but the food that goes onto that aeroplane is, like, just poison. You have a choice between — you don’t have the choice, you’re either given KFC or Big Macs.”

Kennedy has protested against industrial chemicals and preservatives which are put into US food.

He protested against restrictions on peptides, psychedelics, raw milk and more.
