People Are Concerned About How Trump Takes His Steak For 1 Alarming Reason

It's no secret that Donald Trump's diet [1] is not exactly nutritionist recommended, but the president's steak-eating habits in particular have people talking more and more lately. Trump prefers to order his steak well done, and at a dinner at the BLT Steakhouse [2], the restaurant inside the Trump Hotel in Washington DC, he reportedly dipped it in ketchup, too.

"The president ordered a well-done steak. An aged New York strip. He ate it with ketchup as he always does," a waiter at the restaurant said, according to the Independent Journal Review's report of Trump's dinner at his steakhouse [3].

And now Anthony Bourdain isn't the only one judging Trump [4] for his steak preferences. Not only are people calling Trump out on Twitter [5], but some people are also pointing out that Trump's habits might speak to a larger mentality. Eater has analyzed Trump's steak habits even further in an op-ed about why the way Donald Trump eats his steak [6] matters, saying, "A person who won't eat his steak any doneness but well is a person who won't entertain the notion that there could be a better way. A person who refuses to try something better is a person who will never make things good." The opinion piece points out that this eating habit might imply a fear of risk-taking and adaptability.

What do you think about the whole conversation: are people taking it too far, or does the fact that Trump orders his steak well done (with ketchup) bother you?
