13. Richard Nixon
When Nixon arrived at the White House (1968), he ensured that his favorite dishes were made on a regular basis. His favorite one was the all-American meatloaf.
As cited in the “The White House Family Cookbook,” the president’s favorite dish, namely meatloaf, caught the public’s imagination so rapidly that the first lady’s meatloaf recipe was printed at the White House in order to be sent to thousands of requests.
14. Gerald Ford
“The White House Family Cookbook” has again some clear information about Ford’s food choices. According to the book, Gerald Ford’s favorite food was the German Apple Pancake. Other food choices were muffins, fruit, jam, and margarine, and as for lunch, soap, meat, and potatoes were his favorite picks.
15. Jimmy Carter
Although Carter was seen as a peanut farmer from Georgia, peanuts weren’t his favorite snack. During his presidency, the White House’s popular menus were crab gumbo, trifle cake, and shrimp gumbo. The Carters also enjoyed rice, grits, red beans, and cornbread.

Yes, four years of Oresident Trump in office meant record employment for blacks, Hispanics, and women for starters. It meant a return to America of manufacturing jobs that Barack Obama said would never return. It meant that we were an energy independent country for the first time in decades. Sadly most of those accomplishments have been wiped out by Joe Biden’s anti-American agenda.
