Honestly though, what fucking tool flies private while flexing the fact that they brought McD’s for the flight? Like… what…?

It's all about optics. "Hey he eats shit fast food just like me, I bet he's a really normal guy"

I read a theory a while back that Trump only eats McDonald's so often because it prevents him from being poisoned, but in this case it's also like "hey you're the richest dude in the world, here's a quarter pounder, you work for me." Everything to the wealthy and powerful is about feeling more powerful than the others in the room

Prevents poisoning only insomuch as other people won't bother adding more poison to your food.

Can't make it much worse for you.

I'm 99% sure that Dorito Mussolini had a mini McDonald's installed in Air Force One. There's no bags, they have dine-in trays, and bottled soda because they couldn't put a fountain machine in a plane.

I don't think that's air force one. My guess is they just had some staff on the private plane plate the burgers and fries using the normal plates and trays they'd serve any meals on and had them leave the bags in the back but leave the individual packaging for the food items so they could virtue signal eating the same food their fan club eats.

Another possibility is some high end chef was told to prepare burgers and fries and then use McDonald's packaging as a part of the presentation.
