Donald Trump supporters have proven to be a faithful bunch. No amount of locker-room talk or alternative facts has been able to derail the Trump train up to this point, and its hard to imagine what it would take to change that. Its a rare kind of unconditional love.

But this time the president may have gone too far.

Last month, Trump was observed by the Independent Journal Review ordering a well-done $54 steak at his hotel in Washington. Objectionable enough, although thats not what sent shivers down the spine of every self-respecting carnivore across the country.

Its what he slathered on top of it.

Bearnaise? Chimichurri? Peppercorn? All reasonable guesses, but no, no and no. Instead, Trump went with ketchup, that most pedestrian of all condiments. Deplorable! But how does his unflappable fan base feel about such barbarous behavior from the most powerful man in the world?

Well, according to a new poll from Public Policy Polling, they dont like it one bit. In fact, only 34% of Trump voters are on Team Ketchup. The distaste cuts not only across party lines, but also gender, race and age. America has spoken.

Of course, thats not the only question the pollsters posed. It may not seem like it, but there are more critical matters at stake than steak.

The headline number of the poll also shows some uneasiness with the administrations direction when it comes to health care. Less than a quarter of voters support the Republicans American Health Care Act, with 49% opposing it. Even among Republicans, only 37% are in favor of the proposal, with 22% against it. That leaves 41% in unsure territory.

That means Trumpcare is less popular among Trumps base than the man himself, who currently has a 43% approval rating.

Meanwhile, the Affordable Care Act a.k.a. Obamacare continues to post its best numbers, the poll shows, with 47% in favor of it and 39% opposed.

Back to the important stuff: Ketchup on steak isnt the only thing turning stomachs from coast to coast. Nearly half of those polled agree with Icelands president: Pineapple has no business being on pizza.

What does Trump think about that? Considering hes been known to take the knife-and-fork approach to eating pizza, does it even matter?
