President Trump and House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) were alone in the presidential suite on Air Force One, flying east toward Washington in early October, when the president reached for a handful of Starbursts, the fruit-flavored, box-shaped chewy candies.

But instead of unwrapping all of the treats, the president was careful to pluck out and eat two particular flavors: cherry and strawberry, McCarthy noticed.

Were there, having a little dessert, and he offers me some, McCarthy recalled in an interview. 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 presidents favorites.

Days later, the No. 2 Republican in the House known for his relentless cultivation of political alliances bought a plentiful supply of Starbursts and asked a staffer to sort through the pile, placing only those two flavors in a jar. McCarthy made sure his name was on the side of the gift, which was delivered to a grinning Trump, according to a White House official.

Me, personally, I think the cherry ones are the worst. However, strawberry is clearly the best, so Trump has that going for him.
