The local hotspot is considered a notorious bargain, with a burger, fries and a milkshake costing you just $7.
That’s what manager Richard Vultaggio said the New York Post the president and his crew also requested a ton of mustard and ketchup.
Trump paid with his credit card and, according to Vultaggio, left a tip that he described only as “generous,” adding that he was told Trump “enjoyed” his meal.
In the aftermath of Officer Diller’s murder, other customers got into the spirit and paid for the police.
“We didn’t make the police pay,” Vultaggio said. “The community really came together.”
Trump Senior Advisor Dan Scavino celebrated the joint — a childhood favorite — in a Facebook post.
“THANK YOU to All American Hamburger Drive – In Of Massapequa (OFFICIAL PAGE) for a great burger on the way back to Florida tonight on Trump Force One,” he wrote.
‘If you’re on Long Island check them out, AWESOME SPOT! I remember growing up as a child with relatives.’

Speaking at the ceremony for officer Jonathan Diller, 31, the former president said: “What happened is such a sad event, so terrible, and it happens all too often.
“It’s an honor to be here, but this is such a sad event. We have to make it louder, we have to make it stronger, this kind of thing shouldn’t happen.’
Officer Diller was shot and killed in Queens on Monday during a routine traffic stop. Footage of the incident showed the officer screaming in pain as he died.
The Republican presidential candidate added: “We’re just not going to let it happen. Arrested 21 times, this scoundrel. The person in the car with him was arrested many times.
“They don’t learn because they don’t respect that the police are the best people we have, there is nothing and no one like them. This should never happen.
Trump continued, “I was just visiting a very beautiful woman who now no longer has her husband, Stephanie was just incredible.
“Their child, a brand new, beautiful baby sitting there as innocently as possible, doesn’t know how his life has changed.
“The Diller family will never be the same, and we have to stop that. We need to return to public order, because this is not working. It happens too often.
