TIL during the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Usain Bolt ate almost nothing but chicken McNuggets. He went on to win 3 gold medals and set 3 world records.

He’s been asked this question a dozen times and says it because they are a consistent meal no matter where he is in the world. So, he basically doesn’t want to get the shits before a race by eating something fancy.

Trump’s McDonald’s diet makes more sense now.

Not for him, though. He has the shits permanently.

Trump's diet is because he's a fat, lazy slob. McDs in the states vs abroad (is the EU, where they have actual food quality standards) is a night and day difference. He's traveled the world, and actively chooses to eat the slop McDs serves in the US.

This makes it sound like he won because he ate McDonald's nuggets. Fixed it.

See I read it originally as “Usain bolt was so good at running that he set three world records even after eating only McNuggets”

Right. He basically nerfed himself and he was still way ahead of the competition.

Why do you think his athletic achievements are independent of his diet?

Mssr Donald D, dunno how to tell you this,
but junk food is not the answer.
But mate, we can start by eliminating the Ore-Ida nuggets, hey?
