Donald Trump’s love of fast food is well documented. There’s the image of him tucking into a McDonald’s on his plane and the Diet Coke button kept within reach, placed on the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office.

But new details reveal the lengths he is prepared to go to in order to make sure his burgers are just right.

Or rather, the lengths his aides have to go to.

For when the White House kitchen fails to replicate his beloved quarter-pounder with cheese (no pickles, heavy on the ketchup) and a fried apple pie, he has reportedly been sending out his aide-de-camp for a McDonald’s takeaway.

Until recently the job was carried out by Keith Schiller, a former New York police officer who joined the Trump Organisation as a security officer before working his way to become bodyguard and confidant to Mr Trump, and eventually earning the title of head of Oval Office operations.
