During CNN’s Republican town hall in South Carolina, the billionaire businessman also said he likes a couple sandwiches that actually exist on McDonald’s menu: Big Macs and Quarter Pounders with cheese. Plus, he endorsed KFC and clean fast-food places. “I like cleanliness, and I think you’re better off going there than maybe someplace that you have no idea where the food is coming from,” he told host Anderson Cooper.
Trump isn't the first presidential hopeful who's fond of McDonald's. Saturday Night Live's Phil Hartman spoofed President Bill Clinton's fondness for McDonald's in 1992.
Unlike Trump and Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton apparently prefers Chipotle Mexican Grill. Last year she was seen enjoying a chicken burrito bowl at the fast-food chain in the Toledo suburb of Maumee.
McDonald’s Corporation was a major investor in Chipotle until 2006.
