McCarthy and Trump were on Air Force One in October when McCarthy noticed that Trump was only eating the cherry and strawberry Starburst pieces.

“We’re there, having a little dessert, and he offers me some,” McCarthy told The Post. “Just the red and the pink. A bit later, a couple of his aides saw me with those colors and told me, ‘Those are the president’s favorites.’ ”

A few days later, McCarthy bought some Starbursts and instructed an aide to sort through them and put only the pink and red ones in a jar.

The No. 2 Republican in the House then had the jar — featuring his name on the side — delivered to a smiling Trump, a White House official told The Post.

Trump’s Starbursts preferences are the latest revelation of his less-than-healthy food choices. The president’s love of fast food, particularly McDonald’s, has been well-documented.

And a new book on the Trump campaign by former staffers also outlined Trump’s dietary preferences.

“On Trump Force One there were four major food groups: McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken, pizza and Diet Coke,” the authors write in the book, according to The Post.

Trump said during a taping of the "Dr. Oz" show in 2016 that he enjoys fast food because "at least you know what they are putting in it."
