Donald Trump, known for his larger-than-life persona, extravagant lifestyle, and unconventional approach to politics, is about to become the 47th President of the United States.

While his policies and rhetoric often make headlines, his personal habits and lifestyle quirks are just as fascinating.

From his peculiar eating preferences to his surprising fears, here are some lesser-known facts about Donald Trump that may surprise you.

Not a Fan of Pizza Crust

Although Donald Trump and his former wife Ivana starred in a 1995 Pizza Hut commercial enjoying every bite — including the crust — in real life, Trump hates pizza crusts.

Known for his particular food preferences, Trump often sticks to what some call the "Big Four" of American fast food: McDonald’s, KFC, pizza, and Diet Coke.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, he even admitted that he “never” eats pizza crust.

Fast Food Over Fine Dining

Trump’s well-documented love of fast food isn’t just about taste; it’s also about trust.

Reports from outlets like The Economic Times suggest that he avoids dining at non-chain restaurants out of a fear of being poisoned.

His reasoning? Fast food chains maintain consistent standards and have reputations to uphold.

As he once told CNN: "One bad hamburger, you can destroy McDonald’s. One bad hamburger, and you take Wendy’s and all these other places, and they’re out of business. I like cleanliness, and I think you’re better off going there than maybe some place where you have no idea where the food is coming from."
