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.

I was expecting him to only like the orange and yellow because of his shitty taste in every other food type. He has good taste in Starbursts at least.

how the fuck is this news?

On it's own, it wouldn't be. However, this is just the opening anecdote for a larger story about McCarthy's efforts to win the President's favor and how he has become one of Trump's closest allies.

Man I love Starburst candy, but sometimes you get one with little to no flavor in it. Thankfully this doesnt happen super often.

I hate the cherry. Strawberry are okay. Lemon are my favorite, then Orange.

I disagree with trump in regard to taste in starburst candy. I am a liberal, or progressive. I do not feel that trump's taste in starburst candy, which I disagree with, is indicative of racism in any way, shape or form. @Mal_Fet

Trump is right. There's a reason they make a bag full of only red and pink Starbursts and not orange and yellow.

I have seen the all pink, but not all red! Please let this be real!

If I think about which one I would most like to pick out, it goes:

Fruit Punch> Cherry > Watermelon > Strawberry.
