A new book by The New York Times journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan has made fresh claims about Donald Trump's habits inside the White House. The book alleges that staff members had to monitor the president's trash after he repeatedly discarded sterling silver utensils.
According to excerpts from the book, Trump was known as a late-night snacker who frequently left behind empty potato chip bags, Starbucks wrappers, and ice cream cartons. White House staff eventually began checking the trash after discovering that Trump was sometimes throwing away White House sterling silver utensils along with the packaging.
The book's claims come as Trump's health has remained under public scrutiny following his annual physical examination earlier this year. Trump's medical team recommended improvements to his diet, exercise routine, and weight management but concluded that his 'cognitive and physical performance are excellent.'
