Move Over #SaltBae!:The Internet Is Losing It Over Trump's Super Buff Pastry Chef

Did we mention he can lift 700 pounds?

Donald Trump's presidential and often infamous tweets have become the norm, causing his team to often be overshadowed — until last week that is. 

ICYMI: The internet is losing its mind over a White House chef photographed preparing an Iftar dinner, and let's just say he never misses a day at the gym! 

Keep scrolling and then let's talk. 

According to Market Watch, the frenzy all started when Wall Street Journal reporter Vivian Salama posted a photo showing three chefs outside the West Wing prepping for tonight’s White House Iftar.

Instantly the photo went viral with over 775 comments expressing the shock of how buff the chef is!

So who is the super buff chef? His name is Andre Rush, and he’s a retired Army Master Sergeant Chef.

And get this, the 45-year-old Mississippi native's job is sweet, literally.

According to Vivian, he's “a master chef trained in classical plating, baking, cake decoration and a master ice carver.”

While he does not have a full time presence at the White House, as a freelance cook, he often assists with big dinners and events since 1997. 

How dope! Check out Andre, who can lift 700 pounds, chatting it up with TMZ:

Are we the only ones insisting this man get a full-time gig with the White House?
