Trump fears being poisoned and uses individual mini ketchup bottles

Former President Donald Trump fears being poisoned so much that he prefers individual Heinz ketchup bottles to be served alongside his meals, ex-aide Cassidy Hutchinson revealed. Hutchinson appeared Wednesday on Jimmy Kimmel Live and was asked by the comedian how often Trump threw ketchup at the wall.

The former aide to Chief of Staff Mark Meadows had divulged in her testimony to the January 6 House select committee last year that the president had thrown his lunch at the wall after then Attorney General Bill Barr told the Associated Press there was no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election, like Trump had claimed. Hutchinson (pictured), who’s out with the memoir, Enough, volunteered to Kimmel before answering his question that Trump has a ‘very potent fear of being poisoned.’

‘He uses and prefers the small Heinz glass ketchup bottles because he likes to hear his valet, or whoever’s serving him his meal, he likes to hear the “pop,”‘ she said.

Kimmel joked that he thought Trump preferred the tiny bottles ‘because his hands were so little’ and wondered if the ex-president’s fear of being poisoned came from ‘all the ex wives.’ ‘ Or was it Russia ? I don’t know,’ Hutchinson joked back.

Hutchinson then disclosed that Trump would toss his food fairly frequently. ‘Sometimes it would happen once or twice a week, sometimes more, there would be a week or so lull, but then there would be a bad news story. But it wasn’t just launching the food and the plates and the porcelain at the wall it was also sometimes just flipping the table,’ Hutchinson said.

Hutchinson was one of the star witnesses during last year’s January 6 House select committee hearings, testifying before the panel in June. She told lawmakers she remembered ‘hearing noise’ shortly after Barr’s interview with the AP came out and recalled her boss, Meadows, being summoned to Trump’s office.

When Meadows returned, she walked toward the White House dining room. ‘And I noticed that the door was propped open and the valet was inside the dining room changing the tablecloth off of the dining room table,’ she said. ‘He motioned for me to come in and then pointed toward the front of the room near the fireplace mantel and the TV.’

‘Where I first noticed there was ketchup dripping down the wall,’ she continued. ‘And there’s a shattered porcelain plate on the floor. The valet had articulated that the president was extremely angry at the attorney general’s AP interview and had thrown his lunch against the wall,’ she said, explaining that she then helped with the clean-up.
