President Donald Trump’s favorite foods and desserts were revealed to the curious children of journalists at an annual Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day event inside the White House.

The children sat on chairs in the James Brady Press Briefing Room and asked Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt questions about the president.

A boy named Frankie asked what Trump’s favorite food is.

‘Well, President Trump loves a lot of different foods but I think his favorite is probably steak,’ replied Leavitt.

‘I’ve had steak with him on many occasions and he likes to eat a big beautiful steak. Do you like steak, Frankie?’

Another child aware of Trump’s well-documented penchant for McDonald’s asked what his favorite order is at the popular American fast food chain.

‘He loves McDonald’s hamburgers and French fries,’ Leavitt said.

‘Who doesn’t? They’re good.’

Another child asked how much candy Trump, 78, eats per day.

‘A good amount of candy,’ the press secretary said.

‘He likes pink Starburst and Tootsie Rolls.’

Yet another child wanted to know what Trump’s favorite ice cream is.

‘I have seen the president eat ice cream sundaes before with chocolate sauce and some toppings too,’ Leavitt said.

‘Raise your hand if you like ice cream sundaes it’s a very popular policy position to have.’

Leavitt also fielded some questions that were more controversial, like the state of the border.

‘I can assure you the border is the most secure it has ever been in the history of our country,’ she said.
