Trump has repeatedly accused his Democratic opponent of lying about working at McDonald's, in large part because the job wasn't listed on her later resume for a legal job.
This man doesn't know how resumes or jobs work.
Why would he?
He also couldn't get hired at McDonalds for real.
They don't hire convicted felons IIRC.
If that's really in their hiring policy I hope there's a class action lawsuit against McD's for all felons they've turned down for jobs in the recent past and then allowing Trump to work there.

HOW IS THIS A CLOSE RACE
My thoughts exactly, until I drove through Georgia and saw all the flags. I'm terrified.

Doing fast food work when your are famous as a publicity stunt is desperate. One day as a pampered trainee with someone shadowing you all day is no where near the same as living day in and day out working a minimum wage fast food job, serving up shit food for customers that treat you like shit.
If i pulled up to someone doing this id laugh and ask "wtf is this" and tell them how it is. You fundamentally can't live the fast food experience when you have billions and fast food employees are trying to figure out how to get by when they make minimum wage and never get enough hours to get any benefits.
But that wasn't even what happened. The store was closed lmao. He made a batch of fries and fucked off. I honestly can't believe he even agreed to this outside of that he probably got free McDonald's.
This mcdonald's was not owned by mcdonald's. It was a franchisee who owned the restaurant. One that has actively publicly campaigned against increasing the minimum wage. Now you know why it was allowed to happen there
I don't think as a franchise owner you can just use the McDonald's name, or can you?
That franchise owner is 100% going to catch heat for allowing this to happen without a corpo stamp of approval.
Good. Fuck 'em.
EDIT: Nevermind, corpos are both-siding losers.

“McDonald’s does not endorse candidates for elected office and that remains true in this race for the next President. We are not red or blue – we are golden.”

It was supposedly 15m, but I think that may be an exaggeration just like every thing else this broke ass sob I bragging about
They also closed the whole restaurant so that only Republicans that were screened first could come to the restaurant.
He took orders (I don't know if it was plural) in the drive through. The people filmed, and asked him to raise the minimum wage, but you know how he answers questions when hes on his adhd meds.
It was a glorified photoshoot, I wonder if it cost extra money to be allowed the privilege to attend and maybe have his dandruff in your fries

A group of Republicans and conservatives who have consistently opposed Trump, called the Lincoln Project, also added, "Good practice for his next job in the prison kitchen."
Well, dayam.
I feel bad for the workers there. You see so many examples in the past of people meeting the President in "normal" situations and how it's an experience of a lifetime to remember. I guess this still will be something to remember, but not in the way others have been.
"I once helped this old guy through a shift in fast food."
"Yeah, how was that?"
"Terrible. He couldn't understand basic stuff like cooking fries. I had to help him do everything. Oh, he was a former President too."
I doubt even a few years ago when Carter was still building houses for people, no one had to walk him through stuff even more complex than cooking fries. Granted he's had experience working for decades. Can you imagine Trump with a hammer or a power tool?
Totally. He's mocking them on a number of different levels, and it's extra fucked up:
- he's been wealthy his entire life and never worked a job
- he's doing this to mock Harris
- it's not an actual representation of all the bullshit and hard work the people working there have to deal with
- it's a campaign stunt
- he's probably never even ordered in an actual McDonald's before
- he has absolutely no clue what those people get paid
- those workers won't even be eligible for the "no tax on tips" bullshit he's trying to win people over with
There's like a dozen more I could pick out, but these are just the most egregious.
It was entirely staged. Apologies in advance for the Reddit link:
https://old.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/1g88apd/it_was_all_staged_trump_did_not_work_mcdonalds/
Of course. They're all staged. His barbershop bullshit last week was the same thing.
It’s so disrespectful to working class people. Of course most Americans won’t realize this.

This is the one thing from the list I think many* people don't understand. Unless you've worked in some sort of retail environment, it's hard to relate to the shitshow they can be.
*I say many because I have no idea how many people have had a touch of the wonderful world of retail. Maybe a lot have, and some people just are assholes anyway afterwards.
If you've ever seen someone like a reality TV personality or aging pop star try to start a restaurant, this is that exact same thing. There's always some SUPER awkward PR footage of these folks working someone else's job at this new business and trying to show they understand it. They have zero fucking clue. Most recent I can think of was the Eminem fried chicken restaurant he started. So bad.

I'd love to see Trump use a power tool. As soon as he scratches his head with a nailgun all our problems will be over.

He's really fixated on the Harris/McDonald's thing. I honestly think with his cognitive decline, he can't comfortably conceive something he loves and something he hates overlapping like this. I know that sounds insane, but let's remember who we're talking about.
He mentions it all the time.

Fake, like his fake union workers ad and his fake-patriotic chinese-made merch.
This is one for the history books that people won't believe is real lol.

Dress him up in a fireman hat, let him honk a truck horn, unwrap and rewrap a cheeseburger at a closed restaurant.
Grandpa is all gone
It was a closed restaurant? So that's why.
I was wondering why McD HQ hadn't thrown a fit when AgentOrange got to serve actual people actual food in an actual McDonald's. I mean the rumors about his personal hygiene would indicate that the restaurant didn't live up to the McDonald's hygienic standards.
You can say what you want about their food, but the hygiene at McDonald's is impeccable 9.9 times out of 10. So having an unwashed civilian, without training, serving innocent civilians just seemed strange.

That sounds like the best day a six year old could ask for.
I already don't eat there and now I wish I could eat there less; that man is gross.
This makes me think of the time Paul Ryan broke into a homeless shelter, washed some already clean dishes, and left without saying a word to anyone.
No seriously. This happened and it was weird as shit.
Very fine point.
One of my great regrets from this past year or so was not coming up with a Ronald McDonald meme for DeSantis and Trump.
a while back in the second borat movie they say "McDonald trump" and I remember being surprised I had never heard that before

Man I hate these fucking headlines. The race is insanely close and news headlines like this aren't helping that. It just helps reinforce Trump's narrative that media outlets are irrationally out to smear him.

You know it's not real because there's no machines beeping loudly in his ear because a car was in the drivethru for >16 seconds, or manager screaming "Hurry the hell up where are those large fries!?!" or people throwing crap at him for tiktok cred.
He looks tired in the photo. And sad
Tired. SAD!
Anyways...
